Let's accept it - eccentric or not, Singh is Kinng was a very decent movie. People loved the rustic simpleton "Lucky Singh" that was portrayed by AK. The storyline did not have much sensibility woven into it, but it did provide a watchable mishmash of events which was taken well by the audience.
Fast forward to 2015. Kinng goes Bllinng. Lucky Singh transitions to Raftaar Singh(Fun fact: Raftar Singh was a character from Singh is Kinng, portrayed by Sudhanshu Pandey in the original movie). The name got trendier, but the character went from dumb to dumber. I mean, it's okay to have some eccentricity to the characters in a comedy movie, but when the level of eccentricity is excessively high, it gets uninteresting. So we now have areally dumb simpleton who heads off to Goa to act as an aide for a mafia biggie. And then he bumps into an NRI bimbette who does not know a word of Hindi. And the two of them actually strike it off, via a mediator!
The comedy is mostly forced-on, but there are a few laughable moments. Screenplay has been good for the most part but the storyline has let it down. The music is mostly forgettable - except for the opening track(tung tung).
Overall, pretty drab as compared to the original Singh, and no bling at all!
