"Bali hamesha bakre ki dijati hain , sher ki nahi" .. the moment i saw the trailer and heard this lines , I decided then and there itself that I am gonna watch this movie first day itself . I have grown watching Sunny deol's movies like Ghayal , Arjun , Damini and the yelling from the stomach film "Jeet" .. I was a fan of his macho fights and his angry dialogues by the time Jeet got released . There was no way that i was going to miss this film .
What happens if Mr. Arvind Kejrival turns into a singh and muscles a dhai kilo ka haath along with matching physique , fights with one particular land grabber ? Normally it's a political scenario but in this film Sunny deol portraying a similar role Singh Saab fights against Bhoodev Singh . Getting the connect ? well at least i happened to assume such . The reference to Mango People (or is it peepal?) .. "Aam jaisa kuch khatta kuch meetha .. peepal ke ups jo bhoot rehta hien na aise hi aadmi main bhi bhoot rehta hien " is the dialogue which we think will pave to a massive masala story . does it work ? lets see ..
The opening scene starts with a typical sunny deol film with a good masala fight where our sunny paji single handedly (with that dhai kilo ka heath) beats the rowdies to dust . He is a crusader against corruption and He is Singh Saab the great . I thought that's the title of this film but every supporting character calls him "Sing Saab the great" . At the end of the fight , as soon as Johnny lever (remember him right?) says to his fellow junior that "Ye dhai kilo ka haath nahi , balki dedhsau karod ki haath hien" referring to the population in india , you know that you are in for some big ground breaking , wall smashing , sky thundering fights . Amrita Rao (yes the same beautiful girl who debuted in "Ab ke bars" and last seen in "Jolly LLB " or "Sathyagraha" is the reporter of a channel called "Tej" . She is the story teller from the beginning of this film . So the story is a flash back told by Amrita . She tells us how she met Singh Saab and the director Anil Sharma reveals the plot . Singh saab is an ex collector , an ex khaidi and now a social crusader . Now , no one knows the real story of singh saab except amrita arora and johnny lever . He was a collector who hits head on with Bhoodev (guess guess who? ) and gets jailed for 15 years for getting implicated in bribery . before that he loses his wife played by Urvashi Rautela (hui maa ) . She dies because of someone from Bhoodev (okay I will tell you , its Prakash Raj) gang poisons Urvashi (i think her role name is Winni .. no no not winnie the pooh) before sleazing her oomph factor(s) on the male spectators in the theatre . Now the rest of the story is how the collector Mr. Karanjit Talwar aka Singh Saab who becomes a social crusader just to take badla against Bhoodev in badori village . So at one point we are confused whether its badlav or badla ?
The songs hit me as a surprise . Specially "Daru Band kal se kal se " and "Palang thod pan " are good along with the Title song . Sunny Deol dances better and there is a few guest dance steps by Dharam Paji and Bobby deol .
What worked for me is the opening fight scene where the rowdies are plunged to the ground like tennis ball , the hospital scene where sunny deol gets a slap back for the one which he planted on prakash raj a few scenes before , the fight scene where sunny pa ji with his don't know how many kilo hand unearths a tree branch which has climbed onto a wall (hand pump ka zamaana gaya pappe ) and the climax fight where sunny paji's both hands are stuck below a truck's wheel (left hand) and a pillar like thing (right hand) and prakash raj tries to stamp his turban . I knew for sure that sunny deol will lift the truck for sure to take the hell out of prakash raj , but i was wrong . He just uses all his force , tightens his grip and as i was not blinking at all just not to miss the superherodom , there he takes the hand right from below the trucks wheel putting the likes of arnold and sylvester to shame and bashes the villain .
I will also tell you why it worked for me because from the land where i come from (andhra and tamilnadu) i have two superstars in Balakrishna in Telugu Cinema (did you see the guy stopping the train with his finger on youtube ?) and Vijaykanth in Tamil Cinema (now you have to see lots of videos on youtube , one where the electricity gets the shock and another where the bullet bounces off his chest to kill the guy who shot it ) who does more mindless and senseless comedy in the name of action sequence . I was missing them in action for years and Now after seeing full on Masala action with little bit of novelty .. I must say I enjoyed this movie better than shakespeare suicidal Ram Leela .
Go and watch it just for fun .
Singh Saab The Great - Real Son of Sardaar :)
