Movie looks good from its promos, songs are catchy and Katrina looks HOT

I have been waiting for this movie desperately, Akshay is really an all-rounder and can do anything

Who else is going to watch it

The reviews say to leave your brain at home if you want to enjoy this movie.

I don't think it's my type of comedy movie.

However, it has a couple of nice tracks.

Overall Singh is King is a typical Akshay Kumar mindless entertainer which has a great first half, beautifully picturised songs and a gorgeous Katrina Kaif. But what makes Singh is King more worthwhile is Akshay Kumar, who holds the movie together, well supported by Om Puri.
If your are a die hard Akshay fan and enjoyed his movies like Welcome, Heyy Babyy last year, dont think twice.. Just go for it! Others can wait for the DVD.
Ill go with 3 on 5 for the most hyped movie of the year!

Just saw it. Pretty average stuff. 1st half is really poor. 2nd half has a few comic moments. The drinking scene is funny. Beats me how it is breaking all box office records.

The reason you saw the movie is exactly the reason why millions are seeing this movie.....and hence the box office records.

A big star movie, an appealing title and aggressive promos (showing foreign locales , catchy songs and mundane jokes) are all that is needed to make a Hindi movie a super-duper-hit these days.

And then there is this emergence of nouveau riche multiplex going class in India , who will check out any "chalegaa" kind of movie for time-pass entertainment , ensuring that producers get their money back more often than not.

Nah where I live there was no chance of catching it for atleast the next mnth. You can guess how I saw it.

Also I don't exactly agree with the reasons u give to explain why it has become a box office phenomenon. Publicity, a big star, decent songs etc are pretty much the norm nowadays. But that doesn't make everyone such film a blockbuster. I mean if u have a look at the rumoured collections, they are going berzerk. Its slated to pick up Rs 50 Cr in the first week itself. Moreover this particular film on the whole hasn't garnered particularly favourable reviews which does influence a significant section of the audience. So there has to be something additional to explain its runaway success.

I think a factor could be that the film identifies and connects strongly with a particular community. The sikh (or punjabi) community is big in numbers and are generally affluent and passionate people. And I suspect they are flocking to the theatres in hordes.

Thats possibly the reason why Gadar is still the biggest hit in Bollywood.

I watched it and it's not as good as one thinks it will be. I was kinda disappointed to be honest.

Akshy ki Aytraz jysi tu sari movies nahi ho sakti na
PS: Aytraz ky bary main kissi ny mujhy kaha "toba bari kharab movie hy toba toba sharam atti hy dykhty hoy bhi, BP hi hy bas."
Qasmy main itna koi movie mangty hoy nahi ghabrai jitna is movie ky liy. Do bar tu himat na pari ky Ne India Bazar ky staf sy kahon ky Aitraz hy kiya Khyr teesry hafty apni tamam tar himat jam aker ky or soch ker ky aik baligh hon main in ki aisi ki taisi koi bat soxchin mery bary main. Aytraz ly hi li dharkty dil ky sath
sari movie main ankheen phary wahiyat manzaron ka intizar kerti rahi ju movie ky khatam hony tak dikhai na diy. I mean Pariyanka Chopra jab Akshy ka cell phone girati hy os ky siwa koi qabily zikar scene nahi tha
Os di main
