Singham Again Movie Review: SINGHAM AGAIN is a Diwali dhamaka.

Singham Again Review {4.5/5} & Review Rating

Director: Rohit Shetty

Singham Again Movie Review Synopsis:
SINGHAM AGAIN is the story of India’s top cop trying to save his wife. Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgn) is stationed in Kashmir where he arrests the dreaded terrorist Omar Hafiz (Jackie Shroff). Omar warns Singham that someone, who’s a part of his team, will come and wreak havoc. Two years pass. Singham’s wife Avni (Kareena Kapoor Khan) is staging a grand play on Ramayan which will go on for 9 days. Meanwhile, Singham finds out that Omar’s team is smuggling drugs from Sri Lanka to India. Singham asks Madurai DCP Shakti Shetty aka Lady Singham (Deepika Padukone) to arrest the drug traffickers. She does but sadly Danger Lanka (Arjun Kapoor) arrives. He frees the prisoners and sets the police station on fire, killing all the cops. If that’s not enough, he smartly tempts Avni to Rameshwaram and then abducts her. Singham swears revenge and he’s joined by Shakti, Satya (Tiger Shroff), Simmba (Ranveer Singh) and Sooryavanshi (Akshay Kumar). What happens next forms the rest of the film.

Singham Again Movie Story Review:
Kshitij Patwardhan’s story is simple. Yunus Sajawal, Kshitij Patwardhan, Sandeep Saket, Anusha Nandkumar, Abhijeet Khuman, and Rohit Shetty’s screenplay is full of convenience. At the same time, it is also peppered with mass-pleasing moments. Shantanu Srivastava’s dialogues (additional dialogues by Milap Zaveri, Vidhi Ghodgaonkar, Rohit Shetty) are whistle-worthy and are meant to excite the audience.

Rohit Shetty’s direction is commercial. He succeeds big time with the responsibility of handling a multi-starrer film. Some actors have slightly less screen time but one can’t deny that they all have been given memorable fight scenes. Hence, their fans won’t be disappointed. The Ramayana angle is terrific and the way Rohit has drawn parallels is seen to be believed. Though the story is predictable, the director has thrown in some surprises. Satya’s entry is sudden and would be loved by moviegoers. The humour quotient is also quite strong.

On the flipside, the way Omar gets arrested so easily is hard to digest. Secondly, there are too many cinematic liberties.

FDFS Public Review: Singham Again | Ajay Devgn | Akshay Kumar | Ranveer Singh | Kareena Kapoor Khan

SINGHAM AGAIN starts on an okay note. The chase sequence in Kashmir is engaging but could have been written better. The sequence on situationship works well individually but as part of the film, it also tests patience as one waits for some action. Thankfully, the film gets better once Shakti enters the narrative. Danger Lanka’s entry is scary. Satya, meanwhile, enters with a bang. The intermission point is great. In the second half, Simmba rocks the show with his antics and action. The climax is a bit convenient but just to see all the actors together is sure to give viewers a high. The film ends with the much-awaited cameo of Chulbul Pandey (Salman Khan).

Singham Again Movie Review Performances:
Ajay Devgn turns into something else when he plays Singham and it shows on screen. Performance-wise, he is superb. Ranveer Singh has a crucial part. He goes overboard with some of his jokes but overall, he enhances the fun quotient of the film by many notches. Akshay Kumar has a late entry but as expected, he does a very good job, Kareena Kapoor Khan is the only one not doing action but she makes up for it with her screen presence and able performance. Tiger Shroff is great and proves that he’s still one of the best action stars today. Deepika Padukone is fiery and leaves a tremendous mark. Arjun Kapoor is a big surprise. He looks convincing as an evil villain. Jackie Shroff is okay and his track is a bit abrupt in the end. Ravi Kishan (Minister Raj Jaishankar) lends able support. Shweta Tiwari (Devika) and Dayanand Shetty (Daya) are memorable. Viren Vazirani (Shaurya; Singham’s son) is fair. Rajshri Nair (Satya’s mother) delivers a performance that would be loved by the moviegoers, especially by the ladies. Sara Afreen Khan (Mrigya) is okay. Lastly, Salman Khan is hardly there but his presence would lead to a frenzy in cinemas.

Singham Again movie music and other technical aspects:
Ravi Basrur and Thaman S’ music is disappointing. Ravi Basrur’s background score, however, is exhilarating.

Girish Kant and Raza Hussain Mehta’s cinematography is breathtaking. The locales of Kashmir and Sri Lanka, especially, are well-shot. Swapnil Bhalerao and Madhur Madhavan’s production design is rich. Sunil Rodrigues and Grant Hulley’s action and Rohit Shetty’s action design is too good. Thankfully, it’s not too gory. Navin Shetty’s costumes are realistic and yet glamorous. NY VFXWaala’s VFX is appealing. Bunty Nagi’s editing is slick but it could have been slicker in the first half.

Singham Again Movie Review Conclusion:
On the whole, SINGHAM AGAIN is a big Diwali dhamaka. While it suffers from a screenplay of convenience and a weak soundtrack, it compensates with mass-pleasing moments, the parallels with Ramayana and the coming together of major stars – a phenomenon seen in Bollywood after ages. At the box office, the film is bound to strike gold and do extraordinary business. Critics be damned; this one is for the masses!
