Singham Returns (2014)

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Overrated

I'll tell you why so serious

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Wow. How can Ajay Devgn get things so wrong with a formula that was already working? The original Singham film, from 2011, was successful at the box office but that didn't make it special, since many mediocre films in India find commercial success. What made Singham special was that it was a genuinely watchable film on some levels despite being a mass entertainer. In my opinion, the following factors (among others) made the original Singham film very good:1) Ajay-Atul's music. Singham only had three tracks and each was very good. The title track was especially a stand-out2) Kajal Aggarwal. Her beauty, charm, elegance and the-girl-next- door-like approachable quality made it easy to fall in love with her as you got to know her character better. The film's romantic story track, which might otherwise have been forgettable, was definitely elevated by many miles because of her presenceGuess what? Singham Returns doesn't have either of the above factors! Both the music composers and the lead actress were replaced by sub- par choices. You just have to listen to the title song of Singham Returns to know what I mean. Unlike the first film's title song, this song reminded me of beggars belting out tunes at India's railway stations.And Kareena Kapoor was the replacement for Kajal Aggarwal? Why? Seriously, why? If Ajay Devgn had convinced his wife and once-upon- a-time reigning queen of Indian cinema, Kajol, to act opposite him in Singham Returns, then maybe he could have gotten a pass for not having Kajal Aggarwal in this film. That itself is a pretty big 'maybe'. But Kareena Kapoor? She lacks the attractiveness, charm and presence of Kajal Aggarwal. The romantic story track became totally hackneyed and forgettable once again, as they often are in mass action films.In fact the entire film became forgettable. The first Singham film was interspersed with Ajay-Atul's stand-out compositions and Kajal Aggarwal's ability to make you fall in love her with every scene. Singham Returns, on the other hand, makes you want to fast-forward through the songs and Kareena scenes so you can get back to the boring action scenes.

Having enjoyed the first outing of Devgn as Bajirao Singham, I knew that I would be watching the sequel, irrespective of media reviews.I cannot say that I am completely in tune with the ethos of the movie going Janata in India, but surely there is some appeal for a movie where cops and politicians are honest and unwavering in their beliefs.Shetty does what he does best - blowing up cars, big & violent crowd scenes and Singham taking on multiple goons in a style that also seems to be a favorite of Salman Khan. There is no gore and no killing; just a lot of bad guys flying in the air and crashing through furniture, glass and other props.For the serious minded viewer, the movie has plenty of moments where it gets side-tracked, but the aam janata will get a comedy scene, a religious scene, a romantic song, parental bliss and so on. Everybody hams But Devgn's angry old man somehow holds it all together. As long as he looks angry.His role is designed to dominate the movie and so it does. Kapoor looks pretty in heavy makeup and Shetty himself is often seen by Devgn's side as a cop. Dayanand Shetty as Daya is Singham's strong, silent sidekick and satisfies. The others are mostly caricatures of themselves.And so the franchise continues. Aai shapath.

krish,dhoom3,holiday,kick,singham returns and lots of recent bollywood movies these movies which are direction less mindless story less.only some names like salman amir hrithik ajay akshay link up and they cross 100 Crores. 200 Crores. so this is clear people don't wanna watch movies they are just following stardum of these actors,but if you really want to watch movie which have direction story and some mind blowing action then just watch WAAR.budget of this movie is only 10 to 15 crores.and Considering the limitations and trends in local cinema Waar is truly a masterpiece. It outclasses most of Bollywood's action movies and is even better than some Hollywood Movies (Mind you if you are a fan of Hollywood action movies like Expendables etc)and watch another movie name Khuda Kay Liye,then decide what to watch or whats not.
