Tell me who isn't aware of the "Big Heart" Punjab Puttar's,  who are on their toes to go out of their way to help others. Same pinch was our "Happy Singh"(Akshay Kumar), who thankfully enters the silver screen within first seven minutes of the movie. Else I was about to leave the theatre seeing some funny set of people; trying-to-FLY, trying-to-scare, one babe trying to "Show" which I could not stare. Anyways chuck them off and lets me continue the "happy-go-lucky tale" of Happy Singh who always wanted to see everyone happy but delivered things messy.  This made the Villagers of Punjab a little unhappy and they conspired to send him out of India. After hearing the "sob-sob" stories of old parents of Lakhan singh aka "Lucky" (Soonu Sood) who is king of underworld in Australia, Happy vouches to bring lucky back.


Happy is accompanied by Rangeela (Om Puri) a childhood friend now please don't even ask me how Akshay and Om shared a childhood together being at drastically different age group. Well reply to this is "Yeh comedy hai" so we are not meant to put brains and just giggle and now you have already paid for the ticket so smile.


Anyways Happy's destiny (by scriptwriter) takes him to my favorite location Egypt in place of Australia with some goof-up, where he meets the prettiest girl alive on this earth Sonia(Katrina Kaif). After dreaming a song sequence "Happy" finally reaches Australia and within 3 minutes of encounter with Lucky, he lands on the road. Since is a hero he is actually very lucky to get our "Patent Punjabi Aunti of Bollywood" (Kiron kher) who inturns changes the whole motive of "Happy" by feeding him with a "Roti". He forgets about "Lucky" and tries to save the marriage of Kiron aunti's "Beti". Beti  (no points to guess) is Katrina, who comes with 'Ranveer shorey' as her love interest (Gosh can you believe KatrIna loves Ranveer). There starts typical bazmi's mindless comedy with Happy-Lucky-Aunti-Beti-and-Paji's.


"Whether Katrina gets to know that Happy loves her" "whether Lucky agrees to go back to Punjab" "what happens to Ranveer?" and "what happens in the movie finally" and "what Neha Dhupia is doing in the movie" which none of the audience is interested in knowing, but I have certain questions:


Dear Kats- babes .. How come you always choose the wrong guy initially and then end up realizing "Akshay" is the right one for you, after his "Goody Attitude" and "heart wrenching" lines which are same since Namaste London days. Katreena indeed the most beautiful babe in Bollywood I wish she can act


Dear Sonu Sood, your cameo could have been done by any TDH guy. Hold on honey I meant any Tom Dick and Harry, then why You ?  We know the answers so don't blabber.


Dear Neha Dhupia, when are you shedding your Julie skin? Did you say that's the dream role for you? Dhupiya Babe whatever you are busy showing as your Assets are actually liabilities on Bollywood so please bless us.


Dear Om Puri, Sir Ji .. playing role of a friend at the age of 60 ?? Don't kill your talent and youngsters opportunity.


Dear Kiron Ji, - try some other caste as well, how about Parsi, Gujrati, Sindhi why always Punjabi.


Dear Ranveer – You can look good and fair in big budget movie.. yeah that's a compliment.


Rest of the Punjabi' mundas – okay I will not ask you guys anything, I know you too need your bread and butter.


But if you ask me that I hated the movie? Nope, I did not!



The not so clearer vision and audio capabilities Jaaved made me smile with his aimless and mindless talks. His acts were funny and he always has a way with satire.Though his dance act did not go too well along with me for the practical reasons…that if a person cannot even walk straight how can he shake so well? But then again it's a mindless comedy na.


Must say that straight walked out of "laughter challenge show" people (who rocks you in first half) are better than our old stock comedians. The gilhari sequence is hilarious.


How to forget our dear own Akki baby?After a long time I had a smile on the face throughout except the first seven minutes. It was effortless comedy and our Akshay "one-man-army" runs the movie on his shoulders (Same like Tashan).. His dialogue delivery, his act and his manner is effortless in the flick. A typical gold-hearted guy with strong determination, that's Akki as happy. He depicts the image of a simple rustic villager, least conscious of himself, yet clear about his principles in life.And as he does the Nagin dance in the elegant locales of Eygpt, he dances into your heart.The second half of the movie sees him as a Don trying to remove crime rather than the criminal. The character of Singhfits him like a second skin, and no doubt that he is The Kinng


Editing is tight, though second half feels a little stretched initially but some of the scenes just make you roll into laughter. Every character was at its best except few which gets stale after the first half like character of "Udaas". Look of the movie is quite fresh and Locales (Egypt and Australia) and wardrobe of Akki and Kats add to the glamour quotient of the movie. Usage of rich colour typical Punjabi style keeps the screen livelier than usual.


Songs sequences with typical punjabi takda of words, beats and steps are enough to make Punjabi's and non-punjabi's get up and groove in the theatre.While bhootni ke makes you groan loudly and grin at the audacity too ,Singhh is kinghh makes you feel like grooving in the hall itself. The end sequence of Snoopdog and Akshay actually made me jive a bit while leaving my seat.


Choreographers will not disappoint you and dance sequences are commendable.


So a must watch for


+ Blowing out that long pending whistle at songs, Punjabi slangs and Katrina in no particular order


+ Grooving at the songs


+And of course for the Kingly Bhatia or Kumar, for he alone yet again turns to be the jackpot of film industry


Ratings assigned:2.5 stars.
