‘Singham Again’ Review: Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty’s Action Film Receives Rave Reviews From Critics

Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again made its grand debut in theatres on November 1, and audiences are thrilled. This marks the fifth film in Shetty’s Cop Universe, which has become as iconic as it is ambitious, pulling together fan-favourite characters in an Avengers-style crossover. Building on the foundations set by Singham in 2011, Singham Returns in 2014, Simmba in 2018, and Sooryavanshi in 2021, the film blends action, drama, and camaraderie in a larger-than-life spectacle. The story gives a modern twist to the Ramayan, with Kareena Kapoor Khan’s character kidnapped by Arjun Kapoor. Devgn’s Singham assembles a powerful team to save her, uniting familiar faces from Shetty’s previous films, including Ranveer Singh’s Simmba and Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi. ‘Singham Again’ Trailer: Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff Join Ajay Devgn in an Epic Battle of ‘Good Versus Evil’ (Watch Video).

To add even more excitement, Salman Khan makes a special cameo as Chulbul Pandey, his iconic police character, injecting fresh energy and fanfare. Singham Again is set to deliver a cinematic experience fans will remember. Now, let’s see what the critics have to say about it.

Hindustan Times: Rohit has a good concept in hand- then he decides to take the entire first half just to establish ‘look its Ramayana, see the same scene, look at the symbolism’. What also doesn’t help is that we know what’s going to happen next, as is the template of masala films. The ‘India ghuske maarta hai dushmanon ko’ is a narrative that’s added to make the film appear in sync with real life. All it does is disconnect one as a viewer because we didn’t sign up for a political science lesson when we purchased the ticket. What doesn’t help is the makers had shown pretty much everything in the trailer. I can only imagine the disbelief in theatres if say, Deepika Padukone’s role in the film was kept a secret. But everyone’s entry, which is supposed to be a high point in multi starrers, are arrives cold as we had already seen them in the trailer. The intermission comes, rather quickly. It can only go downhill from here, right? The second half begins, and it’s a completely different film. The one liners, the in-jokes, and just seeing a smattering of stars- Deepika, Tiger Shroff, Ranveer, Akshay Kumar and Ajay in one frame is worth the price of admission. Yes, movie universes are here to stay. ‘Singham Again’ Trailer Review: Netizens Praise Ajay Devgn’s Actioner For Taking Inspiration From ‘Ramayan’; Check Out Their Reactions.

NDTV.com: In this the fifth instalment of the Rohit Shetty Cop Universe franchise, everything is sought to be rendered with much greater flourish than ever before. But all the sanctimonious pomposity proves counter-productive. Fans of the genre might be pleased by the overdose of bravado and rhetoric that flow out of the storyline and create room for cameos not just by Simmba and Sooryavanshi but also by Salman Khan’s Chulbul Pandey, creature of a different realm and sensibility (who pops up in a mid-credits scene to provide a glimpse of what might be on the way in this universe.

IndiaToday.com: Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn’s mutual love and trust make Singham a successful franchise. No one can play Singham apart from Ajay, and no other role can present him in such a heroic way. The actor can only make it convincing to defeat invincible villains by just slaps.

Now that you’ve seen the critics’ reviews, the big question is: will you choose to watch Singham Again or opt for Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, released on November 1? Both films are vying for your attention and bringing the festive spirit of Diwali to life on the big screen. What’s your pick for this holiday season?
