New Delhi, Aug 09: Anees Bazmee ‘Singh is Kinng’, released this Friday, is doing wonders at the Box Office. According to reports, the collections are amazing and totalled to Rs 8 crores on day one and the weekend collections are expected to be around Rs 28 to Rs 30 crores. Bollywood sighs with relief as Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif starrer ‘Singh is Kinng’, is all set to do amazing business at the Box Office. Till date, SRK-Deepika starrer ‘Om Shanti Om’ has earned the highest first week collections of Rs 37 crores while the modest projections for the first week collections of ‘Singh is Kinng’ is put at Rs 45 crores. The film is on its way to make a new box office record! The story of the film goes like this - Lakhan Singh aka Lucky (Sonu Sood) is the `king` of the Australian underworld. He functions with the help of his associates - Javed Jaffrey, Neha Dhupia, Manoj Pahwa, Yashpal Sharma, Kamal Chopra and Sudhanshu Pande. Far away, in Lucky`s village in Punjab lives someone more notorious than him - Happy Singh (Akshay Kumar). The villagers are fed up of Happy, the good samaritan, because most of his good deeds turn into hilarious, and often disastrous situations. Out of desperation, they decide to send him to Australia to bring Lucky back to Punjab. The happy-go-lucky bumpkin, taking his mission a bit too seriously, embarks on his journey accompanied by his friend, Tony Singh (Om Puri). The high point of his journey is his chance meeting with Sonia (Katrina Kaif) with whom he falls in love. But when he reaches his destination, things take a turn and Happy lands up in a series of comic misadventures, leaving him penniless. An affectionate elderly lady (Kirron Kher) rescues him and also helps him meet Lucky. Happy saves Lucky`s life by risking his own. Following the hilarious altercation, Lucky lands up in hospital paralysed, and Happy, unexpectedly, finds the tables turned on him when he is expected to assume the role of the new leader of the gang. The series of chaotic and comic misunderstandings eventually results in an accidental wedding! The film`s USP is Akshay and Katrina Kaif, who teamed up in two of last year`s biggest hits - "Namastey London" and "Welcome". Shot in Punjab, Australia and Egypt, the film`s music is already doing well. American rapper Snoop Dogg features in the movie wearing a turban. Apart from Pritam Chakraborty, Britain`s popular bhangra band RDB has also composed a song for the film. The Box Office reports are reinstating the fact that Akshay ‘Khiladi’ Kumar, is truly turning out to be the ‘Kinng’ of filmdom!
