The Indian Express · Shubhra Gupta

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.

I yearn to see Rohit Shetty step out of his booby-trapped comfort zone and attempt something different, because his brand of entertainment leaves no scope for evolution. With 'Singham Returns', the wait continues.

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…

The weakest link is the tedious romantic angle between Ajay and Kareena Kapoor, who plays his gluttonous girlfriend. Kareenas beauty is startling, but here shes not even attempting to act.

It's one big déjà vu. A few goofy dialogues coming at an unprecedented time from the least expected people may take you through till end - if you hadn't already given up at the point where the baba pours himself a drink before…

At 2 hours and 22 minutes, 'Singham Returns' feels long and occasionally plodding. There are some nice scenes that inspire police pride, but the predictable story tires you out eventually.

This is a Rohit Shetty film, and that should be a genre in itself.

Bajirao Singham. If you love masala movies, Singham Returns makes for a perfect watch over this long weekend. There is Comedy, Action, dialoguebaazi and yes, Dayashankar of CID.

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.

Singham Returns is a proof the director's vision. He deserves all the cheers. Watch it for all the entertainment that Rohit Shetty can bring into a film. From blowing cars, to dialogues to hilarious moments this one has all.

The self-awarded 4 stars on its poster notwithstanding Singham Returns delivers quite punch-filled sequel to the cops-and-politicians game plan Shetty and Devgn had assembled in the original Singhammovie.

What I especially enjoyed in Singham Returns were its stray moments of clever, unexpected humor. Twice our hero takes it on the chin when his girlfriend, and an officer in his team, makes a joke about his age.

In Singham Returns, the unstoppable protagonist is once again fighting for freedom from the tyranny of the system.

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.

Films that are so meticulously designed to become a hit, more often than not, hit your head really hard. This picture is not an exception in that sense.

It is a Rohit Shetty film, that is a little less like a Rohit Shetty film, because it is actually trying to make sense while trying to keep what one expects from a Rohit Shetty film alive.

Singham Returns scared the daylight out of me. No it wasnt a horror film, but it shocked me to see a Rohit Shetty film so devoid of fun.

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 isnt putting any thought to it.

The absence of a plausible plot is made up with the adrenalin-pumping, fighting against gravity, whistle worthy action sequences Watch it if you are an Ajay Devgn fan

The Times of India · Madhureeta Mukherjee

The plot rumbles with action of seismic proportions, shot grandly in signature Shetty style – high-voltage stunts, death-defying combats, men and machines bursting into flames – served bloody, gritty and unadulterated.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
