Singh is Kinng (2008)

It's only been 'good news' on the Akshay front after the success of Namastey London. All his other films to follow -- Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Welcome and even a cheeky cameo in Om Shanti Om turned out to be money-spinners.

Oh alright there was the disastrous Tashan somewhere. But Akshay rocked there too, didn't he?

But Singh is Kinng, which if you discount the turban, is typically Akshay Kumar in nature -- saving the day, saying the lines, doing the stunts, getting the girl, playing to the gallery.

Singh is Kinng went ahead and beat all previous record, including that of Shah Rukh Khan's OSO. Without further delay, the media promptly went ahead and crowned him Kinng. Even his high 'n' mighty colleagues were compelled to acknowledge his overwhelming accomplishment.

The formula for the time being is simple. Akshay+comedy=100% success. In all probability, Chandni Chowk to China will be another feather in Akshay's fluffy cap.

What's comforting and commendable, however, is that success hasn't made the star complacent. He's still gung-ho about swimming with a bunch of deadly sharks in the Bahamas for Blue. He's still game to try new set-ups like Nagesh Kukunoor's Eight By Ten, fight. Bottom-line, this superstar aims to please.
