A hero in a Bollywood movie has to do it all. Well, like we have superhero movies in Hollywood, we get superheroes every movie in Bollywood. He does it all, he sings, he dances & he fights. He has to act like a lover who is dating a girl who is actually 33 but acting to play a 13 year old. One movie that defined all of the above, not the last part actually was "Singham" that came in 2011. To be honest, i watched "Singham" in a bus, coming from Chandigarh To Delhi. And i liked it. So, 2 years later, Rohit Shetty & Ajay Devgn, again come with action packed sequel "Singham Returns". Does it provide the action & comedy like it's prequel did? Let's Find out.
Ajay Devgn returns as the supercop "Bajirao Singham" & this time Singham will clear the mess in the city. The chase to pin down the corrupt starts when a police constable is found dead in an ambulance with loads of cash. All this investigation leads Singham to a dishonest "Godman" like Asa-Raam, you can say played by "Amol Gupte" & like always he has a powerful friend who is none other than a "Politician". As we know from the prequesl, that Singham will do anything & whatever it takes to find the culprit. He will break any rule if he needs to. He will beat up, shoot up or fly like Superman to make them pay & there is no stopping Bajirao Singham. Singham Returns was always meant to be Devgn's return, to just wash away the nightmares of "Himmatwala". To one extent, the film works. If you really think that this movie has a story, that might be because you haven't seen any "Rohit Shetty" movie. The possibility of a story in a Bollywood movie is just going far far away with every release of a movie. Now back to the film.
Rohit Shetty's style is maintained throughout the movie. You get all the things you have seen in his earlier movies, from aerial shots with massive crowds, cars flying everywhere but all are really well shot. For this i will give full marks to the director. In various interviews, Ajay Devgn & Rohit Shetty said that this one is a "realistic" film. Oh i see, so a guy beating 20 men in one go is "Realistic". As for the acting, Ajay Devgn has never felt so good, i think. He is fit, strong & has pumped to suit the role once again. Kareena Kapoor has very few scenes in the movie but she does a good job in all the comedy scenes that are given to her. But the real power-packed performance in the comes from Amol Gupte as Godman, he is just brilliant & awesome.
As for the realistic movie, i would suggest that watch "Zakhm" of Devgn. Now that's called a powerful, realistic cinema. But, nevermind. The music of the movie just slows down the pace of this action packed movie. If you are waiting for the song "Atta Majhi Satakli", then you have to see the whole movie & actually the song is not that good but in the movie & on the screen it is the only song you will like.
The movie shows the frustration & all the other things that Police are going through but that doesn't mean that Policemen would start flying to kick someone's ass. It cannot inspire the Policemen, even if we take this movie as a realistic one.
This movie is only for hardcore fans of Ajay Devgn & Rohit Shetty. And by the numbers that came yesterday, i see that there loads of them.
ONE TIME WATCH! But, you can wait for the DVD.
My Rating - **&1/2
