Singham Returns Movie Review


Here is the review for the movie Singham Returns. Watch out this space for more updates!
Rating:2/5 Review By:Saibal Chatterjee Site:NDTV
Singham Returns has a fair sprinkling of angry wisecracks that might draw spontaneous whistles and loud claps from those that love violent fights to the finish. One can only hope that this is indeed the end, and another sequel isn’t lurking in the future.
Rating:2.5/5 Review By:Mohar Basu Site:Koimoi
Singham Returns doesn’t match up to Singham and that is the failure of this franchise venture. It is definitely a very watchable film with Ajay putting in his best foot forward in a role that brings out his caliber to the fullest but for those who are expecting a Rohit Shetty fun watch, this film is neither immensely entertaining or superbly enjoyable. The action doesn’t offer anything new and the drama is too superficial. It is just about average and that too only for its lead man whose swagger rules the show in this one.

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.

Apart from being part-action, part-romantic and part-political, ‘Singham Returns’ is also part-confused. Clearly, Rohit Shetty is attempting to go the extra mile, even though he isn’t putting any thought to it. Skip 'Singham Returns' if you don’t want to lose your mind or if you don’t have the courage to stomach meaningless Bollywood masala films.

Even if unabashedly playing to the gallery and formulaic to its core, Singham Returns offers quite a bit to whistle about with its steady supply of straightforward action and a hot-headed hero who delivers a punch with a fist and a line. It doesn’t hold up to its potential in entirety, tumbling drastically in the middle to incorporate recognizable tropes and cliches. The final pay off is a bit tame for my liking but as long as it doles out generous scoops of masala and corn, it works just fine. Ultimately, Shetty’s crowd pleaser antics boosted by Devgn’s blustering machismo and a hilarious hat-tip to CID make up for the earlier melodrama and a done-to-death twist concerning the all-important witness. Is that good enough? Wrong question. Is it entertaining enough? Er, yeah.
Rating:4/5 Review By:Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama
On the whole, SINGHAM RETURNS is a complete mass entertainer with power-packed drama, hi-intensity dialogue and towering performances as its aces. The brand value attached to it coupled with a long weekend will help the film reap a harvest and rule the box-office in days to come. A sure-shot WINNER!

Singham Returns is a sequel to Singham like Night Eyes 2 was a sequel to Night Eyes 3. It’s the exact same film, with a bit more action. Singham Returns is either a solid injection of boredom or a pain as severe as getting your pecker stuck in the zip and screaming Ata maajhi atakli. Choose wisely.

This film does show the frustration that the police must be going through but there is no way this is going to inspire the real cops. Even if it does, there is little they will be able to do because Singham and his men in uniform are not seen doing much within the confines of the law. The dream team of Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn delivers a good entertainer. It's for fans of brand Singham and I'm sure they are all out there in large numbers.
Rating:3.5/5 Review By:Troy Ribeiro Site:IANS
Though he does not roar "Aata majhi satakli" with the same intensity that he did in the 2011 released "Singham", in "Singham Returns" inspector Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgn) clearly makes his stance clear that the lion rules the roost. The story is simple, staid and often seen. But what gives it a boost is the treatment. Rohit Shetty takes "Singham Returns" notches above the regular fare that is being dished out as entertainment in Bollywood's action-comedy genre.
Rating:1.5/5 Review By:Shubhra Gupta Site:Indianexpress
Not for the lack of Rohit Shetty-style pyrotechnics. The sequel to ‘Singham’ is chock-full of the usual car-on-jeep action. Explosions go off at regular intervals. Shoot-outs—one really well-shot– occur frequently. Like last time, invincible cop Bajirao Singham cracks a carbine single-handedly when the going gets tough. He also strides in slow-mo down rows of cheering extras when he is not rising out of the water, droplets dripping down his bare rippling chest, male eye candy to his admiring lady love Avni ( Kapoor).
Rating:2.5/5 Review By:Rajeev Masand Site:Ibnlive
There isn't one quiet moment in Rohit Shetty's 'Singham Returns'. This sequel is an orgy of relentless action, shrill dialoguebaazi, and eardrum-shattering background music. And yet, buried somewhere under all that noise is a well-meaning - although misguided - story about the need for corruption-cleansing in the system.
