Everyone in Happy Singh's small village is sick and tired of the boundless enthusiasm displayed by this optimistic youngster. In order to get rid of Happy, the villagers send him to bring back the nefarious head of the Australian underworld, who just so happens to be from the same village. Not only is the crime kingpin ruining his village's reputation from abroad, but his ailing parents are deeply concerned about his livelihood as well. After missing his flight to Australia, Happy winds up finding love amongst the Egyptian pyramids and is crowned king of Kangaroo Land. Though numerous other obstacles may appear in his path, Happy always manages to overcome the odds thanks to his proverbial heart of gold. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Lisa Tsering, Hollywood Reporter
Singh Is Kinng is a rollicking late-night party you don't want to end.

Rachel Saltz, New York Times
Singh Is Kinng isn't a great movie. But the immensely likable Akshay Kumar shines as a Capraesque hero who spreads bedrock Indian values.
