Film Review: Singham Returns'
Rohit Shetty's Ajay Devgn starrer action flim is fairly decent despite a predictable story


The larger-than-life Baji Rao Singham of the 2011 action flick Singham (meaning lion) returned to theatres this weekend.
Ajay Devgn reprises his honest cop role in Singham Returns' corrupt political scenario, only this time he's in Mumbai instead of a small town on the Goa-Maharashtra border.
For a change, director Rohit Shetty tries to bring a few social messages through his commercial offering. The Golmaal series director attempts to tug at the audience's hearts with the plight of the family of a falsely accused dead police officer. And he explores corruption, black money, poverty and the superstitious nature of Indians that creates godmen out of criminals. These godmen in turn convert politics into a cash cow.
Singham, the hard-hitting (literally) but benevolent cop allows truant young students to get away with a warning, while protecting Guruji (Anupam Kher) " his teacher and an honest politician who wants to bring change to society " from a conniving Baba (Amole Gupte), while being romanced by a ditzy beauty stylist Avni (Kareena Kapoor). He is also idolised by his fellow policemen " even seniors " and creates a small mutiny in the police force. He takes it upon himself to clear the name of his fallen colleague.
The first half of the film is engaging and tightly edited with a fairly fast-moving story. Shetty puts together a convincing film despite a predictable story of godmen and corrupt politicians which has been seen in Indian cinema over and over again (and probably in better stories) and a plot that unravels a little after the interval. At one point when you think the film is over, it drags on for another 20 minutes. Scenes, such as the one where Guruji's proteges come to hit out at a corrupt politician when he tries to force them to withdraw their applications, or when a large number of the Mumbai police force follow their leader Singham in undershirts to the Baba's mansion, are memorable.
The action is there, but is not so violent, and you don't feel overwhelmed. The language is clean with punchy one-liners from various characters, written by Sajid-Farhad, and makes the film watchable with family. The music however fails to please even though the title theme is the same from Singham, but the lilting notes of Sajde Kiye Hai from the earlier film were missing.
Devgn proves once again he can be good actor given the right script and direction and he simply carries forward his role from the 2011 hit. Gupte seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself playing the Baba. But Kher's role is pretty ordinary and which he would have probably dealt with easily. The cast is suitably supported by Zakir Hussain, who is currently seen on TV in Yudh and CID's very own Dayashanker. Kapoor, however, hams her way through the film, raising a few laughs (more at herself than the character) through the film, especially in the scene where she beats up a mangy TV reporter who sensationalizes their (Singham and Avni) departure from the city as absconding.
Despite it all Devgn and Shetty should be able to score decently at the box office. Don't forget this is a film and not real life and don't question the sequence of events that take place if you want to enjoy it.

Ajay Devgn starrer is everything you can expect from a Rohit Shetty film
Singham Returns releases tomorrow all over the world. The Ajay Devgn-Kareena Kapoor Khan film had raised a lot of hopes from the audiences. Our reviewer Subramanian Harikumar is presently watching the film and here is what he has to say of the film:

The story revolves around a no nonsense cop Bajirao Singham, who is engrossed in a battle with corrupt politician and a fake godman played by Amole Gupte. When Guruji, played by Anupam Kher, decides to give election tickets to young deserving candidates, the evil baba and the corrupt politicians hatch a plot and kill the party leader Guruji. Will Singham find the culprits and punish them, forms the rest of the story.

Ajay Devgn shines as a straight jacketed cop, delivering dialogues and punches with panache. Kareena Kapoor Khan has nothing much to do other than playing eye candy. The romantic track in the film between Ajay and Kareena stands aloof from the main plot, providing little comic relief. Amole Gupte has given an earnest performance but his over enunciation of dialogues is tad irritating. the action is hardcore managing to engage the viewers with its intensity. Lets see what the second half has in store.

Singham Returns Hit or Flop: Box Office Prediction

#SinghamReturns defines our political situation, Movie has less comedy, Action but not make you bored. Story is predictable. Overall good.

Only one thing is missed in #SinghamReturns is Jaykant Shikre... aka @prakashraaj ... This r only week point of singham returns.

Josh manushya ko A to B le jaata hai, magar Hosh A to Z :D #SinghamReturns

I guess, it's 1 of the dialogues of film 😆

GOOD NEWS:
