Yes, The story and scenes are shameless copy of 1989 Jackie chan writed, acted and directed movie named "Miracles", which was also a variation of Frank Capra’s "A pocketful of Miracles".
Jackie Chan’s Hong Kong variation of Frank Capra’s "A Pocketful of Miracles" set in the 1930s. Jackie plays a country boy who rescues a gang boss. Jackie becomes the head of a gang through the purchase of some lucky roses from an old lady. Jackie and a singer at the gang’s nightclub try to do a good deed for the old rose-seller when her daughter comes to visit, all this while battling a rival gang. And this is a story of Singh is Kinng.
Enough about the "inspiration" part. Let’s talk about the movie, once you overlook this so called inspiration [or shameless copy], the movie is not that bad, it’s actually a good timepass.
Akshay Kumar [Happy] is a bachalor who lives in a same village Dharmendra is from [in reality], Happy always tries to help everybody but ending up creating chaos in people’s lives, so the villagers [Om puri, Guggi and Khayali] draws a plan where they send Happy to bring back Don called "King" who is originally from their village to visit King’s sick parents who are still staying in the village. So Akshay and Om puri setout to bring back King from Australia and accidently board a flight to Egypt where he meets Katrina before flying back to Australia. From here on the movie follows the exact same line as the Jackie Chan movie.
Here the gang boss is "King", the rose lady is played by Kirron Kher, the dauther and his fiance is played by Katrina Kaif [otherwise how Akshay will meet his heroine Katrina] and Ranbir. There is also Jaaved Jaafri as King’s partially blind and deaf brother, who is really funny and also Neha Dhupia, such a waste of great actress and hot body :-). There are still really funny moments in the movie though. Direction wise Anees Bazmee is becoming a new Priyadarshan..
The punjabi words sometimes are not understandable [ofcourse as I am not punjabi], but still the whole punjabi accent and the loudness is really cute and funny.
The music is nice but couple of songs were so loud, specially bass that the theatre speakers were destorting. The end song sung by Snoop Dogg was good.
Katrina and Akshay looked nice as always, Ompuri was doing justice to his role, Neha Dhupia was a wasting her talent in a no good role, other casts were just fillers.
Overall one time watch, and may be it will get repeat audience as it’s classed as a comedy with good music and you are not getting bored while watching the movie.

सिक्यूरिटी ऑफ़ सिटिज़न्स ऑफ़ India. व्हो इस रेस्पोंसीबले?
Government or security agencies in India are not doing enough, nobody is taking any responsibility when ordinary citizens blown to the bits by the bombs... neither governments nor the security agencies!! The sufferers?? my family and yours! Politicians and celebrity [like MS Dhony] are safe behind their Z plus security, religious leaders and businessmen are secure behind their followers and security guards, police is secure just being police!! and Army is secured in their barracks and with their guns, is my family secure in anyways NO!! One bomb blast after another, people like you and me die in dozens but no arrests, no concrete leads, no justice... one standard response from authorities, Pakistan is behind it, ISI is behind it, HuJi is behind it, LeT is behind it, SIMI is behind it or Naxalites are behind it or LTTE is behind it.. but who is being prosecuted? how many, did it stop? America just had 1 terrorist attack 9/11, till today have you heard that anther terrorist attack has happened in US after that? They are blowing the whole country away in Iraq and Afghanistan, but did any militancy organisation had done even 1/100th of what the terrorists are doing in India?
It's time to get the answers of this question, A citizen of India's security is whose responsibility? Why aren't we like America, how dare anybody can kill my own country man, I didn't think before that I will say this, I like George Bush' policy, of fighting the terrorist in their own terretory [country], and keep them away from my home, If our oh, so capable security agency always knows [sometimes within half an hour of the attack!!] that it's LeT or HuJi or ISI why don't they stop them like America did, the way they stopped Taliban etc in their own backyard and dont let them come to my home and blow my family to bits..
I think it's not the time to think about it, it's time to DO something about it and ask questions to our governments and security agencies and get answers, no enquiry commissions or fake arrests... results and security for each and every citizen of the country and justice for all who died, hurt or lost their property or loved ones and punish the culprits...
I need my government answerable to me, otherwise there is no need for it, does it! I need my security agencies, police and intelligence agencies answerable, need somebody to take the responsibility of my and my family's security, if they are not capable then give me the guns and I will do it myself, in that case I don't need a government, a security agency, police or nobody to tell me how to protect my family... Let there be a jungle raaj.. I am up for it! Bring it on!

Mere baap, pahele aap "is heroine ko nikalo.."
She reminded me of Sridevi [and Rajanikanth] two people I can remember who’s hindi is slightly funny, but her’s is not funny
at all, it’s irritating, so is her acting [where she is trying to be bubbly but end up being loud and irritating].. Atleast Sridevi and Rajanikanth are great actors, which nullify the effect of the language issues.
Apart from the heroine, the movie is quiet watchable.. funny even!
The plot revolves around the relationship between father [the legend Paresh Raval] and son [Akshey khanna]. Where father is always stuck with his romeo friend [Om puri] in odd situation involving girls and Lady ACP [Archana puran Singh], and son always end up saving them and lecturing the father about morals and how he is disgraced him and how he is ashamed of being son of a sleazy father [It actually is really funny as you will see the father/son relationship totally opposite of normal, where son is lacturing father about values, moral and how he [the father] is a disgrace to him due to his habit of chasing girls :-) ]... In the acting front Paresh Raval as always is a star and helarious, sometimes we feel sorry for him as it’s because of his friend [om puri] he is getting into all these troubles.. Akshey khanna is again good and has done his part faithfully.
Om puri has a small but filling role as 55 year old bachelor who keeps on looking for women for marriage and getting into trouble [and taking Paresh Raval with him].
One last comment on the dialog writer of Priyadarshan movies, Mate, It’s really getting annoying hearling all the derogatory remarks among the characters of the movie [just like after a while watching all pakistani dramas like "bakra kiston pe" you will feel irritated by all the derogatory remarks by the characters to the other characters] remarks like "abe bhais ki pucch" etc.. well after a while it’s not funny anymore... So an advice for next time, please create humour by writing genuinely funny dialogs rather than the derogatory remarks or calling names to the people, I know you have it in you [the script writer] as you have wrote really funny lines in many Priyadarshan movies, so next time try to refrain from calling names to people and create genuine humour.
All and all a fun movie to watch. Barring music and the heroine.

Sarkar Raj a Review
When decided to watch this movie, didn’t had much expectation as Ramu’s previous mis-adventures were complete time wasters. But once the lights got dimmed and the screen came to life, I just drifted in the intense performances and tight storylines without any fat!!... That’s what Ramu is known for and somehow before this movie he has lost his grip on the film making, but with Sarkar Raj, Ramu is back and back with a bang!!
The story is also gripping, it started off where the first movie Sarkar ended, with Abhishake bacchan having cup of tea!! But as soon as you see him sitting there in the chair you instantly know that you are here for reallly good ride, with power packed performances from The Bacchans, pretty bahu Aish and all the baddies, but the main surprise is the guy who is the grandson of Rao Saab... The boy has a power and stroke of acting too.. Subtle performances from Raao Saab and the wife of Amitabh [Supriya pathak] and small role from Victor Banergee too.
This how an indiam novie should be made, cut out all the fat, just concentrate on story and the performances, be true to your story and audiences and the movie will be great. Not a single unnecessary shot or piece of music! And to top it all the suspense!! when you thought you have seen it all, the suspense will clean bold you!
All and all a great movie, one of the best from Ramu and worth every penny.. 5/5. A must watch!
