Singham Again Movie Review : Roars with entertainment and action
Review: The wild ride begins as Bajirao Singham unleashes his fury in writer-director Rohit Shetty's ferocious instalment of the Singham cop universe. This time, he's on a mission to tame the terrorist Omar Hafiz's (Jackie Shroff) drug ring in Sri Lanka, led by the dreaded Danger Lanka or Zubair Hafiz (Arjun Kapoor). However, Singham also needs to rescue Avni as she’s abducted by Danger. The jungle mein dangal just got wilder.
The relentless action is wild, leaving little room for the story (by Kshitij Patwardhan) to breathe. But who's complaining when you're in it for the high-octane thrills and the posse of beasts, including Lady Singham (Deepika Padukone), Satya (Tiger Shroff), Simmba (Ranveer Singh), and Sooryavanshi (Akshay Kumar)!
Writer-director Shetty plays to the gallery, blending action with cultural revival nods to Ramayan and Kalaripayattu. The entire cast's entries are whistle-worthy, playing perfectly to the gallery. Shantanu Srivastav's dialogues pack quite a punch. Sample this: ‘Sitare aasman mein achhe lagte hain ya phir sheron ke kandhe pe.” (Stars look good in the sky or on a brave cop's uniform). However, some references to the Ramayan don't quite land and feel forced into the narrative.
The film’s production is top-notch, with Raza Mehta's stunning cinematography capturing the wild beauty of Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu. The recreation of Ramayan for the stage is a visual treat. Action directors Grant Hulley, Sunil Rodrigues, and Shetty deliver heart-pumping sequences that will keep you on the edge of your seat. However, at 144 minutes, the narrative is long and could benefit from a tighter edit.
Ajay Devgn owns the screen with his quintessential swag, taking the lion's share as a performer. However, Ranveer Singh steals the show with his razor-sharp comic timing, digging his claws into the role with hilarious lines and scenes. His mimicry of Devgn and Kumar is spot-on, and his entry injects new energy into the film. Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, and Akshay Kumar deliver short but impactful roles, while Kareena Kapoor charms as Avni. Arjun Kapoor delivers a powerful performance in his menacing antagonist avatar. The actor passes off as a worthy nemesis to Singham.
The movie is unabashedly entertaining, cheesy, and wild, with moments that will have you laughing out loud. Simmba's (Ranveer Singh) landing at a super-serious and traditional wedding in Sri Lanka while evading goons, or his interactions with Sooryavanshi (Akshay Kumar), are comedy gold.
Keep an eye out for the wild card at the end of the credits. Singham Again unleashes a high-octane blend of action and entertainment. Despite some flaws, this actioner roars.

Follow"Singham Again" (2024) delivers a thrilling and action-packed experience for most of its runtime, but ultimately falters with a disappointing climax. While the film boasts strong performances, impressive action sequences, and a compelling narrative for the majority of its duration, the final act loses its grip, leaving the viewer with a sense of unfulfilled potential.<br/>Ajay Devgn once again shines as the iconic Bajirao Singham, bringing his signature intensity and charisma to the role. The supporting cast, including Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor, deliver commendable performances, adding depth and emotional resonance to the narrative.<br/>The film's action sequences are a visual treat, with Rohit Shetty's signature style on full display. The car chases, explosions, and hand-to-hand combat are expertly choreographed and executed, providing ample thrills and excitement.<br/>The narrative effectively builds tension and suspense as Singham takes on a powerful and corrupt adversary. The film's exploration of political corruption and social injustice adds a layer of relevance and gravitas to the story.<br/>However, the film's climax is a major letdown. The action sequences become excessive and over-the-top, losing the grounded realism that characterized the earlier portions. The plot becomes convoluted and loses its focus, with unnecessary twists and turns that detract from the overall impact.<br/>Despite its flaws, "Singham Again" is an entertaining action film that delivers on its promise of high-octane thrills and impactful performances. However, its disappointing climax prevents it from being a truly satisfying cinematic experience.
