Singham Returns

If you are expecting something new in this second part of Singham, then you will be totally disappointed like me.

There's nothing great about story and script, its average. Kareena Kapoor is okay to watch. Amol Gupte is good but not excellent.And Daya is doing only fighting.

Dialogues are not good as they were in the first part. You can predict almost the movie, except the end, which is again tried to be similar as of first part of the movie.

If you like seeing some bullshit fight scenes, almost duplicate macho dialogues as were in first part, if you like to see Kareena Kapoor's similar role as of golmaal 3, if you like to listen below mediocre music, want to see again Ajay Devgan killing bad people like one man army... then of course, this movie is totally for you!!

We have read and seen Ramayana for years together,there is a part where Raavan disguises himself as a priest to abduct Sita and Sita falls into his trap too. This is what this movie depicts and it has happened in real-life also. When i saw this movie in a multiplex, this is what struck me saying that, there are Raavans in real life too disguising as priests and doing atrocious activities. The movie had a OK storyline as it was more of CID without ACP Pradyuman and Abhijeet. Daya pulled off really well playing a role of the cop just like in CID. Eye openers to youth and old alike. More than the main cast, i liked Anupam Kher, i idolized his character a lot.It's a must watch for our Indians.

Singham back in 2011 packed a punch, with the Combo of Rohit Shetty & Ajay Devgn proving successful. And with 'Singham Returns', the deathly Combo strikes back & how! This Sequel is power-packed, explosive entertainment!

'Singham Returns' Synopsis: Owing to the wrongdoings affiliated with evils similar to black money, an honest but ferocious police officer returns as the Deputy Commissioner of Police with the prospect of wiping out injustice.

'Singham Returns' rests on an outdated plot, no doubt, the battle between the Good & Bad has been witnessed on the big-screen an umpteen number of times, but Shetty's Crisp Execution to the material, Yunus Sajawal's Fast-Paced Screeenplay, Maddening Action-Sequences & Devgn's electrifying performance as the ferocious cop, take this sequel to dizzy heights.

The film is fast-paced & the explosive action-sequences leave a solid impact. The first-hour is well-handled, however, the romantic-track is a yawn. And Kareena Kapoor Khan's hammy performance also doesn't help. This track could've been trimmed, if not removed. But, The second-hour is unstoppable. Its consistently engaging & the clap-worthy climax is top-notch.

Sajawal's Screenplay does not boast novelty, but its one ride! A special mention for the enjoyable dialogue. Shetty's Direction is crisp. He has handled the film with tremendous force. Cinematography is perfect. Editing is sharp. Action-Sequences are maddening! Music by Various Artists is wonderful.

Performance-Wise: Ajay delivers an electrifying performance as Singham. The intensity & power he displays on-screen, is simply amazing. He's the life of the film. Kareena Kapoor Khan hams. Amole Gupte is marvelous as the despicable villain. He's loathsome all through! Zakhir Hussain, too, is quite menacing. Anupam Kher is effortless in a small, but significant role. Mahesh Manjrekar is decent. Dayanand Shetty is super. Sharat Saxena stands out in a cameo. Others lend the required support.

On the whole, 'Singham Returns' is power-packed! Go, Have Fun!

There are some movies which defy all logic but still you enjoy it and "Singham Returns" is one such movie… The movie begins with a startling message "There are only 47000 people employed in the Mumbai Police force to protect 1.85 cr civilians of Mumbai", this message actually started me thinking. Well this movie is Rohit Shetty's tribute to Mumbai Police.

This time Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgn) is posted in Mumbai where he finds himself in between political tussle between Guruji's (Anupam Kher) party and their coalition party headed by Prakash Rao (Zakir Hussain). Prakash Rao has a strong backing in the form of Baba (Amol Gupte) who runs an Ashram which finances Prakash Rao's party. Things turn worse for Singham when a constable of his team is found dead in an ambulance with heaps of cash. How Singham solves the mystery of his constable's death and brings law and order in Mumbai forms the rest of the movie.

Story by Rohit Shetty tries to touch upon issue from corrupt politicians with black money to God man and politician nexus, and the role of a policeman and their sacrifices which keep the civilians safe. Screenplay by Yunus Sajawal is packed with clichéd situations of how police are puppets in the hands of the politicians, but where Sajawal's screenplay differs is the way the police is shown to solve the issue, though a bit too far-fetched especially the climax, still it conveys a very strong message. Some sequences stand out like the dead constable's wife is forced to work as a domestic help to run the household expenses or when a women lambastes Singham when he beats his son for taking money from the corrupt politician. I thought the villain's characters were too much of a caricature especially Baba's. Overall the screenplay is tight and crisp but with enough cinematic liberties.

What elevates the screenplay are the impactful dialogues by Sajid-Farhad, some of the dialogues are clearly for the gallery and gets enough whistles.

Ajay Devgn as Bajirao Singham again gives an impactful performance or should I say a seeti maar performance with his trademark dialogue from the previous Singham "Atta Mazhi Satakli", well in some scenes Ajay goes a bit overboard but looking at the response of the crowd I should say it was worth it. Kareena as Avni has nothing much to do other than looking pretty and mouthing some comic dialogues, I think Kareena should take a break from the bubbly roles that she is portraying since "Jab We Met" days. Amol Gupte's portrayal as Baba goes overboard and he hams all throughout the movie. Zakir Hussain as Prakash Rao is a caricature, which even an actor of his caliber could not salvage as the writing is weak. The rest of the ensemble cast Anupam Kher, Mahesh Manjrekar, Ashwini Kalsekar, Dayanand Shetty, Sharat Saxena, Savita Joshi do a good job, though I felt Govind Namdeo as Singham's father is wasted.

Action is a highlight of all Rohit Shetty movies, and this movie does not disappoint. Action designed by Rohit himself in collaboration with Jai Singh Nijjar and Suneil Rodrigues is filled with cars being blown, people flying and enough fisticuffs to keep the adrenalin rush and Dolby Sound blaring. Overall the action is typical Rohit Shetty style which an audience expects from his movies.

Cinematography by Dudley captures Mumbai well and the aerial shots and action sequences are worth a mention. Music is a big disappointment although it had an impressive lineup of composers from Jeet Ganguli, Ankit Tiwari, Meet Bros and Yo Yo Honey Singh. Rather Yo Yo Honey Singh's song "Atta Majhi Satakli" sounds like a rip off from "Lungi Dance".

Rohit Shetty clearly plays to the gallery and the masses and gives a paisa vasool entertainer worth an addition to the 100 crore club.

"Singham Returns" is a thrilling rollercoaster ride through Mumbai's underworld, led by the formidable DCP Bajirao Singham, portrayed with gusto by Ajay Devgn. The film boasts a superb storyline that keeps you engaged from start to finish, with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.

Devgn's performance is undeniably stellar, embodying the righteous and unyielding nature of Singham with conviction. Kareena Kapoor Khan adds a delightful touch of comedy as Avni Kamat, bringing a refreshing levity to the intense narrative.

The plot, revolving around the investigation into the mysterious death of Singham's team member and the tangled web of corruption involving powerful politicians and fraudulent religious leaders, is both gripping and timely. The clash between good and evil is portrayed with palpable tension, keeping the audience invested in Singham's quest for justice.

However, despite its strengths, "Singham Returns" does suffer from some pacing issues, particularly in the latter half of the film. Certain scenes feel drawn out, and the resolution of the conflict comes across as somewhat rushed and overly convenient.

Nevertheless, the film's action sequences are adrenaline-pumping, and the chemistry between the lead characters adds depth to the narrative. Overall, "Singham Returns" is a worthy addition to the action genre, elevated by Ajay Devgn's powerhouse performance and a compelling storyline.
