Boxoffy Read
Anees Bazmee's Singh Is Kinng is pure Akshay Kumar commercial cinema in its most distilled form — a film that asks nothing of its audience beyond enjoyment and delivers it consistently for two hours. Katrina Kaif's visual presence and Akshay's Sikh-honour comedy provided the elements that the decade's commercial entertainment required. The film's ₹80 Cr collection confirmed that Akshay was operating at the top tier of Hindi commercial performers.
