My Take On SINGHAM RETURNS - 'Too Long, Usual And Repetitive Still A Worthy Successor To Its Predecessor'

I went to watch this sequel to one of 2011's Blockbuster Hits, Singham with not so much great anticipation as i didn't quite find its promos attractive yet to be fair, i didn't come out disappointed. This Rohit Shetty-Ajay Devgn combo has its plusses with some powerpacked moments, high octane actions & stunts, massy one liners and the storyline that deals with a noble subject. However the problem is its way too much dramatic plus that couldn't justify the well intentional plot. But then this is a Rohit Shetty film at the end of the day. So over-dramatization in his films is bound to happen as he always sets the aim to woo audiences and not critics. Still its length is its biggest drawback. I mean Mr.Shetty could have easily made it shorter by 15-20 minutes or so. The scenes featuring Ajay-Kareena doing romance don't impress at all. Also the comic ones are strictly dull and fail to provide genuine laughs. One can't say the same for its action and emotional parts though. They are worth viewing indeed. If i Will about the performances, then expectedly Ajay Devgn in his 'Singham Avataar' has made a huge roar once again. He is compelling in the film. But Kareena is awfully annoying. Only a few good lines have come her way. A very fine talent like Amole Gupte does well but he deserved a better & more powerful role than what he has got in this one. And Daya(the highly popular CID fame inspector) leaves a lasting impression here. I loved him in that 'Darwaaja Tod' moment for which he is immensely famous, and i am sure everyone must have or will.
Music of this film is not bad i must say as both Ankit Tiwary & Jeet Ganguly give a nice track in each. The Honey Singh number which comes in the end is just okay.
Thus, this is a typical Rohit Shetty entertainer which despite its flaws, manages to be called as a respectable sequel. Both the film & Ajay Devgn will be rejoiced by the single screen movie viewers.

My Rating - 3/5 (Wanted to give an extra half but didn't, mainly because of the film's length & repetitiveness)

Go for it friends!!!
