Singh is Bliing – movie review

Mindless Comedy - Rating: **

Akshay Kumar’s energy, emotions and performance are the only saving grace of this yet again mindless comedy-action adventure.

Raftaar Singh (Akshay Kumar) is the apple of his mother (Rati Agnihotri) who spoils her son with her love and her home-cooked jalebis. Raftaar spends his time dancing and hanging out with his friends.

He is a free spirited man who finds happiness in other people’s smiles. He is always looking to live his life to the fullest and runs away from responsibility, leaves everything in his life incomplete. Hence his father sends him to Goa to work under his friend who could bring some change in this no-good son.

Raftaar Singh is then sent to receive his new Boss’s friend’s daughter Sara (Amy Jackson) who has come to India to search for her mother. She is beautiful yet tough as a rock as she grew up amidst guns and goons. Her kicks and punches would break bones for sure.

Our Sardarji has fallen in love with this girl, but she cannot understand Hindi, nor does he understand English. So the need to employ and interpreter Emily (Lara Dutta) who has to interpret the boys lovey-dovey messages to Sara and then left with no option of diplomatically translating the foreigner’s cold yet sharp answers.

Grand Masti - Bollywood Film Review

Grand Masti comes from the makers of Masti (2004), and ever since its initial promos it was projected as an adult comedy film, and so it is.

It isn’t expected to be a family film. Though the comedy at times falls much below our expectations. Simply put, most of the times it is cheap humour.

Take for instance, even the first part – Masti wasn’t appreciated by the family audience or the classes. This one too would be lapped up by the masses. Especially the Indian audience, maybe because there have never been Bollywood adult comedies before which can be equated or compared with.

It is a bit surprising that Deshmukh Junior and Vivek Oberoi signed for such ‘adult comedy’ which in its conclusion, is much below the ideal or broadly adult comedy levels.

Grand Masti is about three ex-students of a college – Amar, Prem and Meet (Ritesh Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani and Vivek Oberoi respectively) and it begins with them teaching their juniors how to have a good time at college. Like for example ‘A’ stands for – and then the camera zooms into the girls’ backside, ‘B’ stands for – and the camera zooms to woman’s chest.

Amar, Prem and Meet are married, but not satisfied with their sex life. The problem with these married men is that their wives give more attention to their family, the kids and their work.
