|---|
A brave and foolhardy Punjab da puttar takes on an impossible mission in Australia and in the process falls in love with a beautiful girl in ‘Singh Is Kinng’.
The movie brings together the hit jodi of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif yet again. Supporting roles are played by Sonu Sood , Om Puri , Kiron Kher , Javed Jaffrey and Neha Dhupia .
Akshay Kumar as Happy Singh
He's truly a King at heart - brave, compassionate, noble and helpful. But he's an equally flawed human – gullible, foolhardy and accident-prone. Circumstances often overwhelm him and his efforts to do good almost always have the opposite effect.
In fact, each time Happy Singh sets out to help somebody, his entire village shudders at the prospect of impending disaster. When they send him on a mission that's seemingly impossible, they underestimate his ability to not just overcome the odds but also transform those he encounters on a journey that takes him halfway across the world.
Katrina Kaif as Sonia
She is a chirpy, fun-loving student of law who loses her cool only when confronted by criminals. But nothing prepares her for the twist fate has in store for her when she finds herself surrounded by some of the most dangerous gangsters in Australia!
Sonu Sood as Lakhan Singh aka Lucky
The King of the Underworld. This wasn't the way Lakhanpal hoped his life would turn out when he arrived in Australia. But now as he dodges assassins and runs his empire with the help of his associates – Guruji, Dilbag, Raftaar, Udhaas, Julie and younger brother Mika.
Om Puri as Rangeela
He's Happy's best friend and also his worst enemy. He’s an ageing bachelor who finds that his friendship with the village's most notorious do-gooder has cost him marriage alliances. A reluctant Rangeela is forced to accompany Happy on a mission that was his brainchild to get rid of his friend for good.
Neha Dhupia as Julie
She's a Lucky's Bollywood-obsessed Girl Friday. An aspiring actress who hopes that her boss would make the requisite calls and land her a plum role in a movie. It's not until Happy appears that Julie finally gets to play the role of her lifetime!
Synopsis:
Happy Singh’s name is in sharp contrast to what he often makes the rest of the villagers feel – unhappy. After all, he’s single-handedly capable of destroying half the village by chasing a runaway chicken.
The whole village is fed up of Happy Singh’s magnanimity that often results in larger calamities than earthquakes and tsunamis for the villagers. So, out of sheer desperation, they conspire to send this Good Samaritan on a long journey with a one-way ticket for one good deed that will hopefully keep him away and busy for good.
Happy’s Mission – to bring back Lucky, who’s spoiling the name of the village in the outside world, and save him from dying a brutal death on the streets of a foreign country. An unsuspecting Happy takes his mission very seriously.
Thus Lucky, accompanied by his best friend-cum-bitter foe Rangeela (Om Puri), sets out for Australia. And boards the wrong flight. So instead of Australia they arrive in Egypt.
But Lucky, who believes that everything in life happens for good, realizes the significance of the deviation in their journey when he meets the stunningly beautiful Sonia on the streets of Cairo.
Ground reality strikes him hard when Happy and Rangeela land in Gold Coast, Australia. The mission to take back Lucky isn’t as easy as it sounded back in the village panchayat. Because they had overlooked one possibility – Lucky and his gang might not want to go back.
However, Happy gets lucky when Lucky, the don, ends up in a wheelchair. And Happy becomes the new king of the underworld, the new Singh is King.
Just as the gang accepts Happy as their new king, Happy turns their violent world upside down. And thus after role changes, each member of the gang finds doing things against their killer instinct.
Gradually, Happy and his one-sided love story with Sonia reform the gang and its leader Lucky Singh.
And all’s well that ends well.
