After
an
ordinary
weekend,
Monday
had
a
clear
enough
tale
to
tell
for
Tashan.
The
film's
word
of
mouth
has
reached
an
abysmal
low
and
this
Yash
Raj
film
now
is
under
threat
of
coming
close
to
the
first
week's
collections
of
the
likes
of
Jhoom
Barabar
Jhoom
(for
which
the
end
box
office
outcome
read
a
flop
in
the
final
run).
Still,
in
spite
of
such
unforeseen
fate
of
the
film,
Akshay
Kumar
is
smiling
and
continuing
to
keep
'happy'.
How
is
that
possible?
Well,
the
name
of
the
character
that
he
plays
in
his
forthcoming
film
is
called
-
hold
your
breath
-
Happy
Singh!
Yes,
that's
true!
In
Anees
Bazmee's
Singh
is
Kinng
which
has
an
out
and
out
Punjabi
flavor
to
it,
Akshay
Kumar
is
known
as
Happy
Singh
while
Sonu
Sood
is
named
Lucky
Singh.
It
is
a
known
fact
that
names
like
Happy
Singh
and
Lucky
Singh
are
pretty
much
in
vogue
in
the
state
of
Punjab
and
for
a
film
like
Singh
is
Kinng
it
is
only
justified
to
have
two
of
its
principal
protagonists
carrying
the
same
names.
With
Singh
is
Kinng
just
about
three
months
away,
Akshay
Kumar
certainly
would
be
looking
forward
to
some
'happy'
times
ahead
after
the
Tashan
fiasco
