Film: Singh Saab the Great
Cast: Sunny Deol, Urvashi Rautela, Amrita Rao
Director: Anil Sharma
Rating: **
What’s it about:
“Badla nahi badlav”, roars Sunny Deol in the title role as the earnest Singh Saab. Only if the writers paid attention to his line and tried badlav in the script, the film would have been a different affair. Nose dive your expectations if you are expecting an ingenious story line that will captivate you with its writing. It’s all about Sunny and his dhai kilo ka haath in this two and half hour display of brawn over brain. Dialogues are written keeping in mind the single screen audience with Deol screaming his lungs out for most of the part.
What’s hot:
In a nonchalant way, Sharma makes it obvious that the film is tailor made to remind us of the ‘sunny days’ of its lead actor. Perhaps revisiting their biggest hit till date Gadar, the director-actor duo take us back in time creating situations, and scenes that remind us of a different era of movie making. Sunny does whatever is asked of him with honesty. The Deol family reunion in a song is sweet, in fact the moment is better than the overall impact of their last film as an ensemble. Amrita Rao and Urvashi Rautela stay true to their roles and manage to leave an impression.
What’s not:
There is not a single moment in the film that hasn't been created in a previous Sunny Deol. If the challenge was to make the setting contemporary and give the actor a makeover that looks 2013, then the effort never took off. Action scenes work only cause its Sunny who is beating the goons, but the dialogues that follow the after math are super heavy on the dramatics. The writing makes the daily soap lather on prime time look like a sugar coated affair. Second half and the climax could needed to be tighter, especially when there is no unpredictability in the outcome.
What to do:
Strictly for Sunny Deol fans, Singh Saab tries to recreate the glory days of this actor-director duo but doesn't succeed beyond a point.
