Singham Reviews

'Singham' works in bits and pieces, only when Devgn gets fully into his stride, squaring up to Raj as he hits the high notes. The rest is just stitched-up scenery.

We’ve seen it all before, and Singham’s another time machine set up to take us back into the 1980s, Hindi cinema’s most ghastly decade.

Singham, aimed at those who like their cinema stirred and shaken in familiar and simple ways, is a rare cop-and-crook drama that carries little excess baggage.Singham is refreshingly crisp and utterly uncluttered all the way…

His usual routine is to first run a mile or so, then jump high up in the air and come down with a thump on the head of whoever is unfortunate enough to be around. He follows that up with the regulatory "Wham! Bam!

The Tamil SINGHAM starring Suriya as a huge hit down South. But the adaptation for the Hindi audience, despite have its share of masala, isn’t up to the mark.There’s hardly any movement in the first half in terms of the story…

Singham isnt an unwatchable film, but how many times can you watch bad guys being whipped with a belt? Or heads being pummeled by a bare fist? There is such a thing as overkill, after all.

Devgn walks to beats similar to Salman's Dabanng. He beats the crap out of ruffians outside a village theatre. He restores his woman's honour. Besotted, she chases him. Audiences think even more highly of the hero.

So while Singham does roar his loudest, it doesn't always frighten.

If ‘Zanjeer,’ and of late ‘Dabangg’ is your yardstick, then Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham’ comes out with flying colours, especially for a man who has been dabbling in laugh riots (read ‘Golmaal’ series), making an out-an-out action…

Whats Good: Fast-paced screenplay; out-of-the-world confrontation scenes; extraordinary dialogues; performances par excellence; superb action. Whats Bad: Nothing really!

The action, designed by Shetty himself, makes you want to giggle and at crucial points you cant help but LOL at the gravity-defying moves the Singham(lion) pulls off.

Singham has been handled very carefully. Rohit and Ajays magic is something to watch out for. Singham is one of Rohits best works. The action scenes are very well shot and the film is completely for the masses.

Singham is such a mighty blast from the past, it leaves you reeling under its impact.
