Singham Again

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.

Flop movie. This movie, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired, coming off as loud and often cringe-inducing in its presentation. From the outset, it seems to rely heavily on exaggerated expressions, over-the-top dialogue, and awkward scenes, which appear more cringe-worthy than impactful. Instead of drawing the viewer in, these elements feel forced, often creating a sense of discomfort rather than entertainment. A significant factor contributing to this is the movie's average execution, which fails to deliver on the potential of its premise. As it stands, the movie remains a disappointing and lackluster experience, likely to be quickly forgotten by anyone seeking quality storytelling and a well-crafted cinematic journey.

First Half : This film starts strong, quickly setting up the story with a fast-paced, engaging first act that grabs attention. However, the introduction of Shakti Shetty (played by Deepika Padukone) introduces an awkward tonal shift that detracts from the initial momentum, making some moments feel forced and cringeworthy

Second half : The second half keeps up the frenetic pace, but the plot seems to be rushing toward its climax without giving characters or themes room to breathe. Ranveer Singh's performance is the film's backbone, carrying the second half almost single-handedly. The climax, unfortunately, loses focus and stumbles, leaving the film feeling disjointed and hurried.

As for the background music, it rarely enhances the scenes and fails to deliver any memorable moments. Instead of building excitement or elevating key moments, it simply fades into the background, forgettable and lacking impact.

Final verdict: In the end, this movie is best approached with a laidback mindset. It's not one to dwell on or revisit, but for a casual watch, it serves as a breezy, if unremarkable, action flick. While it's the weakest installment in the Singham series, it's still a decent way to unwind if you're up for a typical Rohit Shetty-style spectacle without high expectations.

While the star-studded cast delivers MASALA entertainment, the CHAOTIC screenplay and relentless action can feel like sensory overload. With Arjun Kapoor playing the villian "Danger Lanka," the movie aims high on drama but often prioritizes spectacle over coherence, catering mostly to die-hard fans.

Rohit Shetty revs up the action with Singham Again, where Ajay Devgn's Bajirao Singham returns to tackle a wild mix of villains, with a FORCED Ramayana-inspired storyline. Backed by Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, and Deepika Padukone as the new "Lady Singham".

It never matches the EPIC storytelling and character development of the first part and probably never will.

Turn off your brains to watch this, you'll enjoy bits.

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!
