Mumbai: The pair of director Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn has made a comeback through the film Singham Again . This film has been released on the big screen today on the occasion of Diwali. In such a situation, we are going to tell you the full movie review of Singham Again.
What is the story of the film?
Rohit Shetty's Singham i.e. Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgan), who is creating a world of his police characters, has come to Kashmir after Maharashtra, Goa. The story of Omar Hafiz (Jackie Shroff) was shown in the film Suryavanshi of this universe. Omar's two sons are killed by Suryavanshi (Akshay Kumar), Singham and Simba (Ranveer Singh). Now Omar is involved in the drug trade.
Singham Again begins with the capture of this Umar. However, this time the story of Singham Again runs parallel to the Ramlila performance. The characters associated with Singham have been described as similar to Ramayana. Anyway, Umar who has been captured warns that he is not alone. Someone is preparing a shroud for Singham. Then the story moves forward by two years.
Singham's wife Avni (Kareena Kapoor) works in the cultural department. She is responsible for staging Ramleela and also tells about the facts related to Ramayana. The police is searching for Umar's network. Shiva Squad is formed to nab them, whose head is Singham.
Information is received about the presence of people associated with Umar's network in Madurai. DCP Shakti Shetty (Deepika Padukone) arrests them. After that Danger Lanka (Arjun Kapoor) aka Raavan appears. In a dramatic turn of events, he kidnaps Avni and takes her to Sri Lanka. Singham goes to free his wife from his clutches. Simba and Suryavanshi accompany him in this mission. Satya (Tiger Shroff) and Shakti also join them.
Screenplay was weak
The idea of making Singham Again, released on the occasion of Diwali, parallel to Ramayana was interesting. The story written by Kshitij Patwardhan reminds us of the film Rang De Basanti in which on one side the story of revolutionaries is going on and on the other side contemporary characters. Despite the screenplay being written by six people namely Yunus Sajawal, Kshitij Patwardhan, Sandeep Sakate, Anusha Nandakumar, Abhijeet Khuman and Rohit Shetty, strong drama and powerful sequences are not seen here to run both the stories parallelly.
At the beginning of the film, Umar's action scene with Singham at this age is not digestible. Singham's entry is also not strong. The first half of the film is weak. Despite the presence of so many stars and the brilliant action, there is no charm in it. Actors always say that emotions are associated with action. Here, emotions are missing.
There is no thrill, curiosity or connection in the story till the scene where Raavan-like Zubair kidnaps Avni. The characters and the story seem tired. The scene where Shakti Shetty attacks the police station is very weak.
Where was Singham Again shot?
The film goes to different places from Kashmir, Rameswaram, Madurai to Sri Lanka. Cinematographers Girish Kant and Raza Hussain Mehta capture the scenic beauty of the place through their cameras, but no one impresses except Simba.
Despite contemporary issues like the changing situation in Kashmir, youth distancing themselves from stone-pelting, and self-reliant India, the film has not become spicy. Simba's entry after the intermission breaks the monotony. He has many punch lines which make you laugh. Some of the action scenes in the film are excellent.
How was the acting of the star cast?
Singham's passion for the country, honesty and dedication is still there but this time there is neither applause nor whistles after watching Singham. The reason for this is the weak story and clichéd portrayal of the character. Singham franchise may be centered around Ajay Devgan but this time Simba has overshadowed him. After the trailer was released, Deepika Padukone was trolled on the internet media.
She fails to impress anywhere as Lady Singham. She has select scenes. Ranveer is in his typical style and overshadows everyone. Akshay's entry is on a helicopter as usual. He is in his usual style.
Arjun Kapoor as Danger Lanka does not look dangerous at all. Kareena is seen overacting at some places. This time the new entry in the film is Tiger Shroff in the role of Satya. He has less dialogues and just action, of which he is an expert. You will have to decide for yourself which minister Ravi Kishan is.
Finally, the entry of Chulbul Pandey i.e. Salman Khan is a hint towards the next part of the film. He is also going to be a part of this universe. We will have to wait for that. Anyway, Rohit, who throws cars in the air and makes the hero enter from a helicopter in every film, needs to take a break and work deeply on the story.
