Snag is that both in the writing and the direction, the topic doesn’t move beyond mouthing the age-old cliches. Which is why ‘Singh Saab the Great’ leaves you stone cold, despite all that oil, fire and brimstone. Worth a skip.

Singh Saab The Great is a singularly soul-sucking experience. It doesn’t even work as unintentional comedy.

…marks the return of the explosive action star Sunny Deol we missed for years. That says it all.

The first half of Singh Saab the Great is enjoyable but overshadowed by the loud, sometimes nonsensical music. The other half is unnecessarily gory and overshadowed by even louder and more nonsensical music.

Although I appreciate that the makers of Singh Saab the Great tried to make a socially conscious and relevant film, they got pulled into giving a sermon instead.

Strictly for Sunny Deol fans, Singh Saab tries to recreate the glory days of this actor-director duo but doesn’t succeed beyond a point.

Singh Saab The Great is a film designed to show Sunny Deol histrionics, the way his fans are by now accustomed to seeing him. To his credit Deol does not disappoint in what is expected of him.

If you are a die-hard Sunny Deol fan, then this one is definitely for you. There’s plenty of action which only Sunny Deol can pull off in a realistic-stylish manner, as well as some heavy-duty dialogue baazi.
The narrative, however, stretches and the plot at most times is all too predictable. A few scenes keep going back to his past much too often and this dampens the pace of the action scenes. A smart use of the scissors on the editing table and SINGH SAAB THE GREAT would have been a little slicker film.

…is a complete single screen film for Sunny Deol fans who are yearning to see him back in action. For the others it’s just another masala entertainer.

For those who want to relive old-school melodrama, and consider themselves as Sunny Deol fans, there are no surprises in store. But then, that’s exactly what you signed up for.

…not to be taken seriously. But certainly for lessons in how to charm the ladies less than half your age, give it a shot.
