Singham Again Review :-
You know how Hollywood often transitions a franchise from a veteran superstar to a fresh face, recognizing that there’s not much more to explore with the longtime lead? The goal is to keep the franchise alive while honoring the original star as a revered mentor to the new generation, ensuring the money keeps flowing and the story evolves. Singham Again seems to aim for that same ambition. However, in a country like India, will legacy stars really step back? Probably not. So we get another Rohit Shetty film packed with big names and minimal effort on the storyline—complete with a scene where a car flies over a helicopter, driven by Deepika Padukone, prompting the audience to cheer.
The original Singham (2011) was solid because Rohit Shetty crafted a compelling narrative without the baggage of a franchise or the pressure to turn Bajirao Singham into a larger-than-life hero. Issues like police brutality aren’t typically addressed in discussions among filmmakers, so it’s perhaps unrealistic to expect them to be tackled with nuance in these movies. The first film succeeded due to its mix of action, memorable dialogue, a strong cast (like Suchitra Bandekar and Sachin Khedekar), and humor that played well against Ajay Devgn’s serious demeanor. The sequel followed the same formula, but the magic began to fade.
As we dive into the third installment, the formula has started to feel stale. This is evident in the first half of Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, which lacks a real buildup apart from a few dramatic moments featuring Arjun Kapoor and Tiger Shroff. Surprisingly, both actors fit well into this universe; Shroff’s over-the-top style and Kapoor’s more subtle approach create a nice balance, injecting some energy right before the interval—especially before Ranveer Singh arrives and elevates the film further.
The issue with Singham Again seems to be that the legacy stars have given all they can to this franchise, and it’s time for the newcomers to take the lead with their fresh energy. Deepika Padukone needs to channel her Chennai Express persona to bring more vitality to her character, Shakti. What she offers here doesn’t establish her as the formidable Lady Singham. You can sense her struggle to portray someone she isn’t, and that facade crumbles during emotional scenes, revealing her genuine talent for crying on screen (thanks, Imtiaz Ali!). This disconnect makes the rest of her performance feel forced and unconvincing.
Without Ranveer Singh’s flamboyant Simmba, who boosts the film with his hilarious lines and charm, alongside a stylish Tiger Shroff delivering impressive action, and Arjun Kapoor actually showcasing solid acting, Singham Again would feel like it was written by someone who had just awakened after 30 years in hibernation. Its perspective on Gen Z—like the line about how “these kids have forgotten culture and values”—feels outdated, eliciting laughter even from a teenage audience member next to me. Kareena Kapoor’s character, who transforms into a version of Nita Ambani in the first half and becomes a mere spectator in the second, seems to be fixated on the Ramayana without any clear reason other than her role in the Cultural Ministry.
Singham Again Trailor :-
Singham Again also tries to capitalize on the current political climate by portraying a Kashmir where young men aren’t throwing stones, representing a “Naya Bharat” that will confront any threat head-on. It feels like the ruling party should lay claim to those dialogues. The film makes a clear effort to spoon-feed the audience its connections to the Ramayana, suggesting that maybe the Ramayana Project, spearheaded by Kareena’s character Avni, should have been the main focus.
Amidst all this, people inexplicably go missing, and cars that aren’t even being filmed explode without warning. Logic takes a back seat, as characters casually exit their vehicles without acknowledging that their cars are spinning in the background, all while on temple grounds. One can only hope those cars are insured and that bystanders have substantial medical or life insurance just in case things take a turn for the worse.
The first half really could have benefited from the signature Singham humor, but it’s largely absent until Ranveer Singh arrives and brings his Simmba persona to life. There’s also a half-hearted attempt to inject a meta twist, with Ranveer alluding to Deepika Padukone’s pregnancy and throwing in some Khiladi references. Unfortunately, characters appear and vanish so conveniently that they become forgettable, only to pop back up unexpectedly. But who really cares? The climax has them all assembling like the Avengers, and then there’s a bizarre reveal of Salman Khan joining the mix, complete with an odd prosthetic beard.
Final Thought
Singham Again feels like a Rohit Shetty film lacking much of his signature humor for most of its runtime, only picking up momentum after nearly an hour when Ranveer Singh and Tiger Shroff join the fray. The real question remains: can the legacy stars step aside and let the newcomers take the lead?
