Sinngh is King

I just finished watching this movie two minutes ago... and my mind is already spinning with the song "Singh is King... Singh is King" featuring Snoop Dog that popped up during the ending credits of this film...I thought that was one of the best parts...
The movie is entertaining and contains a lot of authentic punjabi masala. And the hardcore Punjabi culture is evident from the mentioning of "Guru Nanak." There is an innocence from the characters that suggests their intrinsic Indian creed, which is nice, but it unfortunately makes their criminal roles even more unconvincing.... no wonder they were able to change so quickly from bad to good.... they were never REALLY bad in the first place.... 
"Happy Singh", played by Akshay Kumar, is a thoroughly happy man from a punjab village.  However, whenever he does something intentionally good in his clumsy alacrity, he always ends up making the situation worse....so the annoyed villagers hatch up a plot to send him to Australia to convince (in vain of course) Lucky, an ex-villager turned mobster back to the village. They know that Happy would fail but never come back a loser, so would never return to the village again. This plan changes, however, when one  of the villagers that plans this strategy ends up accompanying him to Australia.... 
The female hottie in this movie is Katrina Kaif, who tears it up as a tough criminal psychology student from Egypt. She has good chemistry with Kumar, who has done several movies with her in the past. 
The plot and the movie are really silly...but plain dumb fun.. and it is nice to not use your brain for a while, because the acting is great. Akshay Kumar is perfectly cast and brings charisma to the role...
Just make sure to leave your brain at home, and this movie will be a nice time pass. 
Oh balle balle!!! :)
