Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

About story: Nothing new in this film, same old villain, same old mistakes from the hero and revenge. I already read several reviews in IMDb and other sites about the wastefulness of seeing this movie, but I too thought, like you may be thinking now, that this reviewer may not be telling the pure truth, may be he didn't like Sunny,,,,etc. After the first 30 minutes anyone could easily guess the story, I too did and at no place I was wrong.Casting: Urvashi Rautela is looking pretty and glamorous. Sunny has maintained good physique and his acting is also solid. Amrita Rao's introductory parts look weird from acting angle.Prakash Raj did very good from his part as always. Johnny Lever is not finding great like in his beginning periods.This is my first review, please forgive my ignorance if I hurt anybody or if anywhere I went wrong.My rating is 3/10

Singh Saab to me was a very decent Sunny Paaji flick that had all the right elements that a typical Bollywood movie must have and not to forget the superb direction by Anil Sharma as he showed some nice stuff by traveling through flashbacks. Sunny comebacks with Singh Saab in his old "desi superman avatar", he hits, he cries, and tries the right things. You may notice a lot of familiar faces that constitute the supporting cast but Urvashi as Minnie was a charm to watch. There are a lot of good dialogs in the movie and a couple of good songs too. The movie raises the same old issues that India still faces but in a bit different manner. Overall it can be your great family weekend. Enjoy! Rating - 8 on 10.

It was only last week that I saw Prakash Raj as a villain in Rajjo and herein he does the same sort of character. Now we have a new character word: THE PRAKASH RAJ CHARACTER! And when it is overdone by he himself, then blast!Damini had one of the most memorable scenes of court dates and the makers don't restrain from using the idea a couple of times. Nor do they refrain from setting the whole plot up as a shiny parade of songs, slow- mos & stunt scenes out of revenge.It is not about the villain anymore. But using the same old corruption cleaning good-guy figure as the main stronghold just doesn't work. Sunny Deol is fine, all right. But his character and family is what troubles me. Starting a people's revolution against the tyranny? Well, that only works in fiction. And if you are to succeed, bring logical reasoning in.But SSTG all just bases on the cliché. Even the side characters are borrowed from other films. Johnny Lever should just stop. Amrita Rao did fine. Also, adding an emotional quotient and then using it as a conclusive weapon just is the most overrated/overused/ludicrous tactic in Bollywood cinema today.The dialogs are too gaudy & flashy that may keep a niche audience entertained.BOTTOM LINE: With a necessary item song, this film is just like any other heroism flick, which is watchable but recommended to skip!Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Sunny Deol's sincerity- in ample display when he is bashing bad guys to a pulp, or when he is roaring out insults, and Prakash Raj's delicious evil are redeeming factors that somehow elevates Singh Saab The Great from a mediocre revenge saga to a film with some semblance of substance. "Badle se Badlav"As the titular character, he is a tainted collector who tries to overcome his thirst for revenge against his nemesis, Bhoodev Singh, to become an agent of change. Singh Saab is a cross between any of Sunny Deol's past characters in Ghayal, Tridev, Damini or Narasimha (yes, he has been typecast so much!), and something Arvind Kejriwal should have been- leader of a people's movement, not the politician that he turned out to be. But then Kejriwal is subject for another discussion, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, Farhan Akhtar be damned, there is none who can play a more authentic Sikh in Bollywood than Sunny. Alternating between genial, loving, bumbling husband and brother, and a fearless leader cum goon-crusher Sunny holds the movie together, despite a weak script and overlong romantic interludes.Singh Saab the Great is a typically jingoistic Anil Sharma movie, but it is no Gadar- you have heard all the quotable dialogs in the trailer. The romantic back-story between a 50 year old Sunny and the 19 year old newcomer Urvashi Rautela is grating. The comedy is mostly out of place, and the music is eminently fast-forward-able. A large chunk of the movie is in Punjabi-cized Hindi so its appeal will be limited to the north of India. But the movie, like Singh Saab himself, has its heart in the right place. Most movies nowadays start well enough but trail off- Singh Saab is the opposite, with a rip-roaring second half more than makes up for the draggy first. There is a social message, and an attempt to champion people-power. Action or melodrama- Sunny shows the young guns how it is done, while Prakash Raj, who is often said the play the same character ie a funny villain, does break character here to portray genuine evil- a man you would love to hate.It is unfortunate and silly that it all ends in a terribly one-sided showdown between Sunny and an army of thugs. I mean silly because a decade back this man destroyed the entire Pakistani army so this fight was a no contest to begin with, and unfortunate because the climax kind of apes other action movies. Having said that, it was better than what I expected, and till the climax, it did come out as a different kind of movie. Worth a watch!
