Singham Again

Still in a trauma of what did I just watch. In my first opinion rohit shetthy did not use the the script writer he used ChatGpt with a prompt : Okay I have these characters and I want to engrain Ramayana Story within these character and came up with this horror ride. Two parallels are going side by side which was shown already in a 5 minute long trailer , so you already know what is going to hit you. AB AA HI GAYE HO TO BHUKTO.. seems to be rohit shetthy's main mantra.

It doesn't adhere any basics of movie making (I am not a movie maker and even I can say this) , This Cop Universe is getting worse day by day and I am going to avoid any other movies of this universe. So sorry Chulbul Singh or Whatever.

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.

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!

This movie had every ingredient money could buy, yet it failed to make a good dish.

I would like to summarise this movie with the following:

Friend : Do you wanna watch Singham Again?

Friend 2 : I'd rather watch "Singham" again!

Enough Said!

Wherever the old more tolerable Rohit Shetty went!

Better go for Bhool Bhulaiya 3 instead if you're gonna spend for a lot of people. I mean there's not much logic there as well, but at least it has its moments - some parts are genuinely heartfelt and humorous, and the acting isn't abysmal, and they are trying to give a genuine message, and it's actually kinda believable unlike this unforgivable mess. Here it's more like they forced everyone to overact, even the otherwise decent actors. My only pet peeve in BB3 would be the lack of option to fast forward most of the out-of-nowhere song scenes & lack of horror to my taste. But SA is a pet peeve in entirety!

"Singham Again" deviates from its original vision, resulting in a disjointed narrative that relies on forced mythology and unconvincing patriotism. The film lacks the potential to deliver a compelling story due to its numerous weak layers. Deepika Padukone and Tiger Shroff's performances are disappointing, as they portray their characters as mere caricatures. Rohit Shetty, while acknowledging the shortcomings of the film, has an opportunity to learn from the South Indian film industry and produce more engaging and entertaining content. It is advisable to avoid this poorly executed film at all costs.
