Singh is Kinng (2008)

The main character is send away from his village in order to bring back another and in this proccess accidently gets his post of the king of the underworld.

Rating: 8/10

The Good:
-It's a cute story with a happy ending where even the bad guys get something out of it
-It has a moral that teaches people kindness and forgiveness.
-the main character is funny, clumsy oaf and yet still manages to get the girl. Shows you that the nice guys do win in the end.
-For those who don't know, typical bollywood films have random dance breaks in them. In some films it sucks and most songs sound the same even if you understand the language, but this one actually had catchy tunes and the OST in general was good.

The Sucketh:
-It's predictable..but what isn't nowadays?
-The usual fair bit of cheesiness that comes with bollywood (but it's the good kind of cheesy in my opinion...probably not to someone who is used to high budget hollywood though)
-There was a song with snoop dog which probably was just there for publicity. Quite random.


If you don't like bollywood or have yet to give it a try, this is one to start of with in the comedy genre (if you want the soppy kinds- go watch something with SRK instead of Akshay Kumar). There has been controversites concering the religions aspects of this film, but I personally don't see why those details matter for it's just a movie and the whole point of it is that it has a moral to be a nice person and whatnot so if anything those people should be appreciative.
