Anil Sharma, the director & Sunny Deol have delivered three hit films together so far - "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, "The Hero: Love Story Of A Spy" & "Apne". And we can surely say that they are back with a bang & not just a bang, but with a "Dhai Kilo Ka Punch" with new venture "Singh Saab The Great". The movie revolves around an honest collector "Saranjit Singh Talwar" played by "Sunny Deol" who believes in doing the right thing & does so, till the time he is transferred to Bhadori, a small town in Uttar Pradesh. As he is transferred there, Bhoodev Singh played by "Prakash Raj" comes into the picture. While Saranjit belives in the power of the truth, Bhoodev thinks the ultimate power is money.

Like any other politician, that are shown in movies or in real life too, Bhoodev is corrupt, powerful & always does the wrong thing. But, Saranjit always comes in the way to make things difficult for him. In a fight between these two strong forces, it is "Saranjit's" wife, "Urvashi Rautela" who bears the brunt of the enemy & dies. but, things turn even worse when Saranjit is accused of bribery & is jailed. Seven years later Saranjit, with a help of his cop friend manages to get out of jail and changes his identity. Now he is known as Singh Saab, whose motto is not ‘badla’, but ‘badlav’. But does he manage to change society and most importantly, Bhoodev Singh?
The good in the movie is, definitely, has to be Sunny Deol’s performance. Even though he is in his late 50s, Sunny still manages to do action sequences amazingly well. His dhai kilo ka haath yet again entertains us and how! He is one actor who actually makes action stunts look believable. Another highlight of the film is its dialogue. An angry Sunny mouthing dhansoo lines like ‘Bali hamesha bakre ki di jaati hai, sher ki nahi’ is a treat to watch. And though the story could have been more crisp, I enjoyed watching it coz there is different atmosphere when you enter a Sunny Deol film. It’s like watching a cricket match. Every time Mr Deol fights or says a dhamaakedar line, the audience goes crazy and claps and whistles. That’s what made my experience enjoyable. Besides Sunny, Prakash Raj has delivered a solid performance. In fact, he gives worthy takkar to the ultimate action hero. His scenes with Sunny Deol are to watch out for. They make a perfect hero-villain jodi. Amrita Rao as a journalist does well. Urvashi Rautela has nothing much to do in the film and after a point you forget why she is there at all…and then she is dead. Johnny Lever makes you laugh in places.
"Singh Saab the Great" is a typical Sunny Deol film and if you are a fan of the actor, you wouldn’t mind watching it. If you want to watch a film with your family that isn’t a remake, is full of action and has plenty of drama, this one is perfect. but, what was really awesome to see, that it felt so nice to see so many elder people in the theatre to see this movie, which is really a rare sight & enjoying the movie. WATCH IT..!!
