Singh is Kinng - It's a poetry

Singh is Kinng - The Gang of Punjab will arrive with a bang!

Talk about inspiration - Movies and titles like this inspire you to do new things in life, Singh is Kinng made me a poet. Strong word of caution - This is my first attempt to write a poem. If Singh is Kinng is considered a blockbuster (At the end of first weekend, it's gross (no pun intended) is Rs. 29 crores ), then this should be considered poem.

Singh is Kinng, Singh is Kinng,
Movie is agonizing.

Akshay'a name is happy,
His acting is as usual crappy.

Katrina is paired opposite hero,
Her expression in the important scenes is close to zero.

There are a lot of characters in the movie that goes with male lead,
Most of them resemble a woodenhead.

Javed Jaffrey who is deaf and blind is the villian who is homegrown,
And he is not the only abscind clown.

Kiron Kher comes in as poor mother,
Her acting is better and character in the movie is a banter.

The movie has lots of singhs and handgun,
Watching them was not a lot of fun.

The movie is supposed to be funny,
But most of the sequences and events is phony.

Looks like they have spent more than hundred crore,
In the end the movie turned out to be a bore.

Singh is Kinng, Singh is Kinng,
Movie is agonizing.

RACE - Movie Review

As a kid, if you have lived in major metros in India you definitely must have experienced waiting along with other vehicles in front of railway crossing. While waiting, usually you would have played the train guessing game (either by yourself or with another friend or brother/sister if you are travelling with them). The game is to predict from which side the train would come and pass. You play this for a couple of times while waiting and after a while you wonder why you are waiting so long and you start to get frustrated about everything that happens around you like waiting, other vehicle noise etc. and the whole game becomes a huge irritation. Race is a movie that starts of well with enough promise and twist in the first half. The later half has too may twists to the original twist and you end up as a person waiting just too long in the railway crossing.

Saif Khan looks like a matured actor, Anil Kapoor looks like an old actor and Akshay Khanna looks old with no maturity and acting. Bipasha and Katrina switch between sides and at one point you get so confused that you begin to wonder who is with who. Sameera Reddy comes as a dumb assistant to Anil and she does justice to her role:-) Of course, all the three heroines have item numbers.

Technical aspects of almost all the recent movies are always good and this movie is no exception.

Inspite of all the sloppiness with the screenplay and never ending climax (in fact climax starts from second half) and lack of logic (South African police's absence, Saif joining one of the heroine in the end etc), I would still like to give some credit to the directors Abbas Mastan for their effort to come up with a different thriller movie.

The movie is actually watchable for most part if you start with no expectation.
