Watch or Not?: Singh Saab The Great
is perhaps one of recent times’ most novel masala films. Despite a
multitude of grave hitches, the film is surprisingly original and
intense. Being fed on a host of extremely trashy and mediocre masala
films which have become Bollywood’s staple these days, Anil Sharma gives
us a welcome change. Sunny Deol and Prakash Raj make the film worth a
watch for their earnestness and ardour at portraying their respective
roles. I won’t call this fantastic or thrilling but for its sheer
unconventionality, the film had me impressed.
