Singham Again

I have no idea what I just watched.

How can someone make a movie so bad with a cast full of superstars?

Watching this movie was a true test of patience. Every few minutes I would think this gets better, but no, it just kept getting worse.

Moreover the religious aspect was not even needed. They tried to make it a Hindu vs Muslim thing maybe because they knew it's a bad script.

I hope if there are any more movies in this cop universe, they are better than this piece of garbage.

The viewers deserve better and I hope Rohit learns his lesson and makes movies which are more fun and less religious lessons.

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!

Flop movie. This movie, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired, coming off as loud and often cringe-inducing in its presentation. From the outset, it seems to rely heavily on exaggerated expressions, over-the-top dialogue, and awkward scenes, which appear more cringe-worthy than impactful. Instead of drawing the viewer in, these elements feel forced, often creating a sense of discomfort rather than entertainment. A significant factor contributing to this is the movie's average execution, which fails to deliver on the potential of its premise. As it stands, the movie remains a disappointing and lackluster experience, likely to be quickly forgotten by anyone seeking quality storytelling and a well-crafted cinematic journey.

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!

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.
