Son of Sardaar – Entertainer in its own way!


Star Cast: Ajay Devgan, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt, Juhi Chawla, Mukul Dev, Vindu Dara Singh.
Director: Ashwni Dhir
Producer:  N.R.Pachisia, Pravin Talreja and Ajay Devgan.
Duration: 139 Minutes
Jassi aka Jasvinder Singh Randhava (Ajay Devgan) is a Punjabi NRI living with his uncle in London. Jassi receives a courier that contains details of his father’s property which can be claimed by the legal heir upon his presence. Jassi’s uncle warns him about their family rivalry with the Sandhu’s.
Jassi on his way to Punjab encounters Sukh (Sonakshi Sinha) and as expected falls in love with her. Upon reaching Punjab Jassi meets the most influential people in the town through Sukh’s reference, Billu (Sanjay Dutt), Tony (Mukul Dev) and Tito (Vindoo Dara Singh) who would help him in claiming his father’s property.
Story takes a turn, when Jassi realizes that, the people who are helping him are none other Sandhu’s who has vowed to kill the Randhava’s.
Cut to Sandhu family has tradition of respecting the guests and at any cost would not spill their blood in the house. Roller coaster fun ride begins as, Jassi in order to save his life should stay back in Sandhu’s house and Sandhu’s are waiting for him to get out of the house so they can kill him.
Can Jassi win back his life along with Sukh? If so how? is the plot.
Son of Sardaar has a story which is inspired from a Telugu Movie “Maryada Ramnna” which in turn is inspired from an English Movie “Our Hospitality”. But, accolades to Ashwin Dhir for adding his own Punjabi Tadka to the existing storyline and making it watchable.
Coming to performances, Ajay Devgan played well as Sardaar but was not convincing enough. Sonakshi Sinha fitted the role of Sukh a true Punjabi Sikhni and even performance wise she has improved a lot when compared to her previous films. But, for me the show stopper has been Sanjay Dutt, whose characterization is complexed in the movie, Billu has to maintain the right balance between looking evil and comical. Sanjay Dutt played the role to the perfection.  
Noting much comment on the music or the other aspects of the film but, credits to stunt director for picturizing some good fight sequences.
All in all SOS is a good one time watch. Give it a try.
Rating: 3/5
