I watched the film because some of my friends had already booked tickets for me without my permission. Otherwise, i wouldn't have. Anyone who has seen Singham has to necessarily see this one. I actually liked the first Singham film. The purpose of this film seems to be to enhance the reputation of the titular character. It does so quite successfully but adds nothing more. You are there in the multiplex, you know whats going to happen, yet you still watch it because the first film was good (I call it the First Film syndrome). Now, coming to the actual review. I think the film lacked substance, originality as well as plot. The plot was relatively simple. Most of the film is full of slow-mo shots of Ajay Devgn walking from a car towards some one or delivering a highly intense dramatized dialog and very loud music playing in the background as the camera pans followed by intense mindless actions (but isn't it the point of Singham films). There was one point on which the film could have elaborated more which was the plight of the family of the deceased police officer. But it was relatively short and ended up without much consequence. Some humorous one-liners were tried during the film but they were too few and too far between. The film tries to portray the unity among Mumbai police but its very clichéd and highly improbable. The end result is that you are disconnected from the film. You can surf the net and read an entire chapter of the Mahabharata while Singham has walked from his car (or whatever it is) to the villain. But you are never bored. The film achieves what it wants. You have to decided whether you want the same thing. If yes and if mindless action films are your taste and you want only goodie-good things happening in your film whose start and end can be predicted with a 98% accuracy by a 3 year old, then this film is just for you. Enjoy.

Bajirao Singham (ajay) gets transferred to Mumbai and he discovers that one of his team members (ganesh) is found dead with large bags of money. Bajirao decides to unearth the truth behind it and in this process, he collides with a powerful Swami ji (amole gupte) who has high profile connections with politicians. Whether Bajirao is able to overcome this challenge and clean the system or not forms the rest. The director has come up with an action packed story, but the plot was wafer thin and while the presentation was okay, the narrative was quite absorbing in parts, but boring in other parts.The dialogues were filled with good punch. The script was below average but the screenplay made it a little better. The background score was filled with good energy but songs could have been avoided. Cinematography was good but could have better. Editing was needed in some boring clichéd portions. Costumes were well designed to suit the backdrop while the art department was mediocre. Ajay Devgn has carried out his role with elan and he has once again proved his mettle. Kareena Kapoor is bubbly and evokes laughter in film. Amole Gupte was fabulous, Anupam Kher was superb, Zakir Hussain was excellent, Dayanand Shetty was good, Sameer was standard, Vineet Sharma was neat. Others also contributed in a positive way and added value. Though the title sounds like a sequel, there is actually no connection with the original movie except that its hero and director have not changed. This film has a more realistic story but the plot is wafer thin and is dragged with many clichéd and ordinary scenes. The film showed promise in the beginning but dips a lot afterwards especially in the second half. The film entertains in parts mostly when Ajay Devgn is on screen performing his dramatic portions or his action sequences otherwise the film is ordinary and boring. Director Rohit Shetty fails to make SR better than the first, the spark is missing, the first was far more superior in drama and story. At the box office the film has started off historically but I believe all the hype will die done soon.Overall if you compare to the first you will be disappointed, otherwise its entertaining in parts. Watch if your a Ajay Devgn fan because he is roaring in the film with his performance.

Ajay Devgan's character Bajirao Singham is now in people's heart and you can understand it by hearing the whistles every time he comes on the screen. As always Ajay is in top form. Kareena has been utilized well here without getting overboard. A bonus treat here for all the CID TV serial fans is Inspector Daya who is addressed without any doubt with the same name that he is been known since years. Yes yes there is a door opening sequence for which he is known for. Ashwini Kalsekar and Anupam Kher are flawless in their respective roles. Amol Gupte and Naser Hussain as antagonists are superb. Rohit Shetty and team have given yet another entertainer for the audience with a message related to Mumbai police which we have seen in many Bollywood pot boilers but this ones handled well. Without any doubt Singham Returns will now join the 'better than first' rank of sequels. Singham was a classy mass entertainer. The team has done a brilliant work to make the sequel a better treat to their fans and they have succeeded all to the top.
