Singham Again

Still in a trauma of what did I just watch. In my first opinion rohit shetthy did not use the the script writer he used ChatGpt with a prompt : Okay I have these characters and I want to engrain Ramayana Story within these character and came up with this horror ride. Two parallels are going side by side which was shown already in a 5 minute long trailer , so you already know what is going to hit you. AB AA HI GAYE HO TO BHUKTO.. seems to be rohit shetthy's main mantra.

It doesn't adhere any basics of movie making (I am not a movie maker and even I can say this) , This Cop Universe is getting worse day by day and I am going to avoid any other movies of this universe. So sorry Chulbul Singh or Whatever.

I have no idea what I just watched.

How can someone make a movie so bad with a cast full of superstars?

Watching this movie was a true test of patience. Every few minutes I would think this gets better, but no, it just kept getting worse.

Moreover the religious aspect was not even needed. They tried to make it a Hindu vs Muslim thing maybe because they knew it's a bad script.

I hope if there are any more movies in this cop universe, they are better than this piece of garbage.

The viewers deserve better and I hope Rohit learns his lesson and makes movies which are more fun and less religious lessons.

Positives:

1. Second Half Glimmer: The second half shows some glimpses of the classic Rohit Shetty style with action sequences that are enjoyable to watch.

2. Cop Duo Charms: Simmba and Sooryavanshi deliver what they do best - Simmba with his perfect comedic timing and Sooryavanshi with his effortlessly cool action sequences. However, their limited screen time isn't enough to save the film.

Negatives:

1. Lost Spark: Rohit Shetty seems to have lost his filmmaking magic. The adrenaline-pumping action, laugh-out-loud humor, and iconic characters we expect from him are absent.

2. Sluggish Start: The first half drags and fails to pick up the pace before the interval. The forced screenplay feels uninspired and lacks the director's usual spark.

3. Weak Story: The plot relies heavily on Ramayana parallels, which often feel off-beat and fail to resonate with the audience.

4. Technical Shortcomings: Messy camerawork and an overuse of drone shots create a cheap, low-budget aesthetic reminiscent of some amateur YouTube videos.

5. Uninspired Performances: Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor's acting feels theatrical, while Deepika Padukone's performance comes across as forced and insincere. Tiger Shroff showcases his usual gymnastic skills, and Arjun Kapoor fails to capture the menacing aura of Ravana, delivering a merely decent performance.

6. Disappointing Music: Ravi Basrur's score feels like leftover music from a C-grade film. It's loud, unoriginal, and fails to complement the scenes effectively.

7. Weak Ending: The end credit scene resembles a poorly made TV serial promo, adding to the overall disappointment.

Overall: "Singham Again" is a disappointment for fans of Rohit Shetty's signature style. While the second half offers a few saving graces, the film suffers from a weak story, uninspired performances, and forgettable music.

Look at the budget scale & starcast. You'll get goosebumps. But, when this movie was halfway, I felt as if I am reading a Raj Comics. Such poor script. Honestly, how dumb is The Producer! You can't blindly believe the starcast these days when Masala Movie works only when it is supported by a substantial script. But, in this case, Rohit Shetty looks like just an action director and that too not seen anywhere. Where is the RRR Type Action? Not even 1%. Just looks like a Light Show of Ramayan. Trying to capitalise on the Shree Ram Sentiment will not work. Vimal Gutka Kings comparing them to the epitome of righteousness Shree Ram is ridiculous. Public should boycott such money minded films right away.

My 9 year old son has perfectly summarised this film after 3 hours of pure torture (I felt that way).

He said that this is Adipurush starring Bajirao Singham, which was the perfect summary for this godawful film!

Logic, physics and plot complications are conveniently ignored for a badgering of explosions and policemen behaving like circus acts.

In the very first few scenes of the film, I got a sense that things were going Deep South in quality when Singham walked in his police uniform with wrong colored socks! Things became bizzare when Akshay Kumar sported sneakers in the climactic scenes.

Even having not seen Bhool Bhulaiyya 3 yet, I hope it fares better than this Adipurush revisited travesty!
