The curtains have finally lifted on Rohit Shetty’s much-awaited ‘Singham Again,’ marking a significant addition to the dynamic ‘cop universe’ pioneered by Bollywood. Released today, the film features a star-studded cast that has already drawn considerable attention and commentary from audiences across the nation. With actors like Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, and Kareena Kapoor on board, the film was destined to attract the eyeballs—and it certainly has. As audiences flocked to theatres for the first day, first-show screenings, their opinions began to flood social media platforms, revealing a mixed bag of reactions.
Ajay Devgn, reprising his iconic role as the titular cop, seems to be a central point for much of the praise coming in. A particularly enthused viewer tweeted that Devgn’s performance is a significant factor propelling ‘Singham Again’ towards potentially joining the elite 500 crore club at the box office. “Ajay Devgn has played a big role behind the film becoming a blockbuster,” expressed Twitter user Sandeep Yadav, echoing the sentiment of many fans who have long awaited Devgn’s return as Singham.
Adding to the buzz, some fans were delighted by the movie’s cameos, albeit with divided opinions. Deepika Padukone makes a surprising appearance, which has been appreciated by viewers, while Ranveer Singh’s cameo was deemed less impactful. One user noted, “Deepika Padukone cameo will surprise you, but Ranveer Singh’s cameo is bogus.” The remark highlights the highly visual and grandeur elements infused into the film, thanks to Rohit Shetty’s signature style and improved VFX effects that impressed a portion of the audience.
The movie’s trailer, criticized by some as poorly cut, had initially given fans a dubious impression. However, the on-screen experience seems to have redeemed itself for many, particularly with Arjun Kapoor’s action-packed entry. “Arjun Kapoor received the best entry scene of his career,” remarked a viewer under the handle Yogi Baba Productions, suggesting that the film may indeed offer more than what the trailer hinted.
Throughout its runtime, ‘Singham Again’ unfolds as a traditional Rohit Shetty action feast combined with unexpected surprises like Salman Khan’s appearance as Chulbul Pandey, an iconic character from the ‘Dabangg’ series.
. This crossover element has thrilled fans. “The MAN is Here, CHULBUL PANDEY Officially in the COP Universe! Paisa Wasool!!!” declared a fan, marking the crossover event as a significant draw for audiences.
Yet, not all feedback on the film was flattery. The beginning segment of the movie, around the first 20 minutes, was considered ordinary by some viewers until Arjun Kapoor’s entry changed the course, garnering mixed critiques for its pacing and initial storytelling. “The dynamics changed… the movie became interesting after Arjun Kapoor’s entry,” commented another viewer named Javed, hinting at a pivotal transformation within the film after its slow start.
Singling out the film’s energy levels, other viewers have found ‘Singham Again’ to be an exhilarating rollercoaster, packed with thrills and high-octane action synonymous with its genre. “The energy in #SinghamAgain is unmatched, bringing thrill and action in every scene,” enthused another audience member, highlighting the film’s commitment to keeping adrenaline levels high.
Despite diverse opinions, one thing is clear: ‘Singham Again’ has managed to capture the public’s attention, with its brand of mass appeal and spectacle. This film joins the continuing saga of the cop universe that began in 2011 with the original ‘Singham’, followed by ‘Singham Returns’ in 2014. Now, as ‘Singham Again’ competes at the box office against ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, a fierce dynamic face-off emerges for moviegoers, placing the films head to head in the race for commercial success.
As ‘Singham Again’ storms the cinemas, fans of action, drama, and star power can rest assured of the film’s promise of entertainment, even as they add their voices to the myriad reviews on social media. Whether it transcends its predecessors or merely maintains the legacy, ‘Singham Again’ has no doubt sparked a conversation that’s bound to continue well beyond its theatrical run.
