Hindi Movie Reviews

An evolving face is what comes to mind when one hears big numbers and fat pay checks being handed to film stars in Bollywood - big budgets, big sets, big stars, big salaries, etc. Recession and a slowing economy seem to have hit everything but the film industry with bigger and more glamorous projects being signed and produced. This has sadly affected the overall quality and essence of movies, with nonsense scripts being churned into even sillier movies. These days countless movies are being made and less surprisingly, even the most stupid ones have managed to make lots of money at the box office owing to clever marketing and promotional tactics. Here are 5 absolutely senseless and otherwise flop Bollywood movies that still earned decent profits at the Box office:

1. Singh is Kinng: We have to admit it. No matter it starred Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, the film had less sense than any movie of the year. The script was a well washed desi version of a stereotypical villager and the storyline had no story whatsoever. Still, it managed to make more than100 crores at the box office!
2. Sarkar Raj: Add the glamour of the Bachchan family and the controversial name of Ram  Gopal Verma to a film and you have a sure fire winner – even if the movie is nothing but a bag of dust. Sarkar Raj earned 85% of its invested money in the first week itself in spite of getting mixed reviews and a fluctuating screen presence.
3. Tara Rum pum: a sadly distressed Indian remake of the tom cruise starring Days of Thunder, Tara rum pum had nothing more than a copied story, some vaguely romantic songs and a depressed aura. Still it somehow covered more than just profits at the box office.
4. Saawariya: Talk about hype and over indulgence and saawariya comes to mind. The film launched Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor but failed to impress the audience with its gloomy and electric blue reels. But because it was a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film (the man who made Black), it could earn at the box office.
5. Jhoom Barabar Jhoom : It is difficult to believe to that the man behind blockbusters such as Saathiya and Bunty aur Bubli could make such a trashy piece. We have amitabh Bachchan humouring the audience over styled and near clownish costumes, a senseless storyline and an earner at the Box office. It is time that Bollywood changed the rules of measuring a film’s success.

Movie: Singh is Kinng

Music Directors: Pritam Chakraborty

Starring: Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Neha Dhupia, Javed Jaffrey, Ranvir Shorey, Om Puri

Director: Anees Bazmee

Entertaining movie with some really interesting action sequences and some very well executed goof-ups. If you are fan of Jackie Chan movies when they show all the action scene goof-ups, this movie is full of them. Akshay Kumar (Happy Singh) is a helpful guy who manages to destroy a lot of things while trying to help others and he does it repeatedly.

Locations in Egypt are used very nicely for some songs and the credit goes to cinematographer. We are very sure that Movie Screensavers and wallpapers for this movie will be very popular.

Kiran Kher has done well with her brief appearance. Katrina looks beautiful and has definitely gained some weight. Let’s not talk about her ability to act or speak in hindi. Once again directors have managed to carve a role for her where she doesn’t have too many dialogues. What you need are Katrina’s Free Screensavers.

Singh Is King could have been better and might disappoint some people who had high expectations but it is definitely worth a watch. Be sure not to apply too much logic and brain while your are watching the movie.

We are biased towards Hard Kaur’s singing and the title track Singh is King is used beautifully as a background score in the movie whenever something ‘fun’ is going to happen. The tempo variant for the song matching tempo of the scene was well executed.
