Lakhan Singh (Sonu Sood),
also called "Lucky," is the "kinng" of the Australian underworld, and
is the first "Singh Is Kinng" of the film's title. He is accompanied by
his associates, Julie (Neha Dhupia), Mika (Jaaved Jaffrey), Pankaj Udaas (Yashpal Sharma), Raftaar (Sudhanshu Pandey)
and Dilbaugh Singh (Manoj Pahwa). In a small village in Punjab, the
birthplace of Lucky, lives a criminal more notorious than Lucky
himself—Happy Singh (Akshay Kumar). Happy has caused many problems and
disastrous situations in the village, and the villagers are fed up with
him. They decide to send Happy on a long trip to Australia with his
friend Rangeela (Om Puri) to bring Lucky back to Punjab, which will keep Happy out of the village for some time and bring peace to the village.
But at the airport, Happy's and Rangeela's tickets to Australia are accidentally exchanged with that of a man named Puneet (Ranvir Shorey) who was hoping to use to fly to Egypt. In Egypt, Happy helps Sonia (Katrina Kaif)
and falls deeply in love with her. But he does not express his love to
her. Leaving her behind, he heads to Australia to meet Lucky. Lucky
refuses to return to his hometown and throws Happy and Rangeela out of
the house. Penniless, Happy finds warmth and affection in an elderly
lady (Kirron Kher) who provides him with food in spite of being a stranger.
Lucky winds up in hospital, paralyzed, after a series of violent
incidents that Happy causes. (In one of these incidents, his head is
bumped severely, and the trauma from the resultant concussion is what
paralyzes him.) Happy unexpectedly receives the title of Kinng—thereby
becoming the other "Singh Is Kinng" of the film's title.
Alas, Happy is not proud of his rank and is kind-hearted. The lady who
helped Happy is really worried and depressed as her daughter is
returning from Egypt with her wealthy boyfriend, Puneet. The daughter
does not know that after the death of her father years ago, her mother
became poverty-stricken and was reduced to work as a flower seller. Happy gives the flower-seller his spacious house and makes all his mafia associates work under her.
The lady's daughter arrives—and to Happy's horror, she is none other
than Sonia. Happy, heart-broken, is forced to make a show of happiness
to Sonia. Puneet says that he too would have had a good time with Happy
and Sonia in Egypt had his ticket to Egypt not been exchanged in the
airport, because of which he had ended up in Australia. Puneet had
always been jealous of Sonia being with Happy. However, he doubts
anything is going on between them. He and Sonia squabble about this
topic; it is Happy who handles it.
In spite of herself, Sonia falls in love with Happy—and the truth
becomes difficult to hide. Sonia becomes aware of her poverty. Puneet
sets his heart to marry Sonia. Sonia gets trapped in an emotional
tug-of-war between Puneet, who loves her, and Happy, whom she loves.
Puneet meets Mika, who is also the brother of the Kinng, and who
agrees to kill Happy. Puneet's motives to kill Happy, however, differ
from Mika's: Puneet wants to kill Happy to keep Sonia away from him,
whereas Mika wants to kill Happy to make himself Kinng.
The wedding day dawns and there is firing (all because Julie drops
some guns). Puneet hides while the pandit chants the mantras, his head
totally covered by a pot, amidst gunfire all around. Meanwhile Happy
takes Sonia's hand in order to save her and unknowingly both run around
the fire seven times essentially getting married. (During all this,
Lucky's head is bumped, and the trauma-induced paralysis he had suffered
from is relieved.) Suddenly, Mika turns up on the spot, ready to kill
Happy, armed with a gang and his new special glasses and hearing aid. As
he is about to shoot, Lucky steps up and stops him. Then a dialogue
ensues between Mika, Happy, Lucky and the associates of the kinng (sic).
Then Happy tells him that being the "king" is no great thing. Lucky
confesses that he always found sadness being Kinng, because a true king
does not fight for himself, but for others. Overcome with remorse, Mika
drops his revolver. The movie ends happily, with Happy and Sonia's
marriage.
