Prashast Singh Movie: Singham Rating: 4.5/5Rohit Shetty is an action packed director often known to make action packed movies. Same with Singham, a remake of Tamil Super Hit Singam, which starred Suriya in the lead role. That movie was fantastic. But as its Rohit Shetty as the director and Ajay Devgn as the hero, they have made it even more entertaining. The film is not a scene by scene copy, but it sounds a different film in various scenes.Ajay Devgn, to be very honest, has come out with his best performance in this film. Although the role of Singham may have been done by other action heroes, but this role suits him the best. The action scenes are one of the best. The music is good and the rest other actors find it easy to make their presence felt. Since its a Rohit Shetty movie, it has lots of car and jeep blasts, which should not be missed at all. The story is brilliant and the movie- entertaining!On the whole, Singham is a great mass entertainer, that has lots of elements which make it work. Watch it, you won't be able to find any flaws, believe me!
scodro Kind of bizarre for western culture. Lots of funny impossible action scenes. Singham alone could defeat all expendables with a single strike.Not to mention, his girl - Kavya, it a really beautiful woman. Kajal Agarwal was a perfect pick for this role.For moviegoers who does not know the Indian productions this is a must see, as it will serve as a sample of what is considered a good production on India. It is a different country, a different culture, and of course, the movie industry has got different models and standards.In spite of being quite long (~2h20) is worth seeing. And I would recommend you to watch it in a group of friends. You will laugh a lot and on some scenes you will certainly have an urge to talk immediately about it with someone.
silvan-desouza SINGHAM as people know was first made in Tamil starring the heartthrob Surya and Anushka Shetty with Prakash Raj as the villain After it's success the film was remade in Telugu and Kannada as Yamuda and Kempegowda respectivelyRohit Shetty who started off with ZAMEEN an action film and followed with all comedies except one Sunday which was a bad thriller cum comedy Now he returns with SINGHAM an action film.Ajay Devgn got a new lease with OUATIM last year followed by another action film AAKROSH which failed now he returns with SINGHAMSINGHAM follows the same plot as the original afterall a remake but Rohit Shetty doesn't leave his comedy part and rewrites several scenes, characters and adds lot of comedy and cuts off several other stuff from the originalThe original had several more twists and turns towards the end which is all re-written in the remake The film starts off with a new subplot of Sudhanshu-Shonali which wasn't in the original and the initial portions have been re-written too The introduction of Surya was in an action scene but here Ajay comes out bare body from a sea followed by a song, to give him credit he must be lauded as the water it seems was chilling and it requires guts to do it but from the script point of view, his introduction could be better without the DABAANG style song, we shouldn't compare it to DABAANG though The film moves on a nice pace and one anticipates a good build-up, thankfully in the remake they have avoided the long comedy track by Vivek in the original which wouldn't suit in Hindi The film however has the typical romantic/songs.etc which were in the original too and similarly the theatre scene and the fight is straight a rip-off from the original. One sore point in the remake is every time we have Ajay walk in slow motion and the music beats to the title song which was not like that in the original which makes it boring and repetitive.Keeping into mind, Rohit Shetty's comedy style, we have Anant Jog a politician unlike in the original where his character supported Singham here he is a bad guy and he keeps mouthing NONSANSE(nonsense) and also Prakash Raj's character is made funny and is given several funny dialogues unlike in the original Even the film is set in Maharashtra/Goa and they have used Marathi a lot, there are several well written dialogues but Ajay and Prakash Raj don't speak Marathi too well(Ajay is Punjabi and Prakash a tamilian) To give Rohit credit, several scenes are well handled like the clash between Ajay/Prakash Raj which mostly is recreated though the election subplot and scenes towards the end are re-written hereIn the original, Singham was promoted to ACP and also given to handle kidnapping racket which is all changed here To be fair the film keeps up to masala diktats and the film has several clap trap scenes and also good dialogues mostly copy paste but yet there leave a mark But towards the end after Ajay waking up the police and reminding them of their duties, the film changes track and ends as a farce, the climax is a big letdown and falls flat Direction by Rohit Shetty is good in parts but he fails in some scenes too and how one wishes could've stuck to the original at least towards the finale Music by Ajay-Atul also isn't that good, the title song with bad choreography by Ganesh Acharya is decent, the romantic songs are good but make the film boring Dialogues are clapworthy Action scenes are like South films, and like the original here too they defy gravity but some are too overdone like Ajay pulling the goon from a revolving jeepAmongst actors Ajay Devgan returns to masala fare and does a great job as usual in cop roles, He uses his eyes and body language to the fullest here too Thankfully he doesn't copy Surya and does well, he has worked hard on his physique too and it looks fab Kaajal Agarwal is good too in a less demanding role, She looks good and resembles Tanushree Dutta but lends some freshness Prakash Raj is superb, though getting typecast in such roles In the original his role was very serious here he is made to play to the gallery and every dialogue, expression leaves a mark He does a superb job in scenes pitted front to Ajay Devgan and their chemistry is to be seen to watch Amongst rest Shonali Kulkarni does well in her role which wasn't in the original, Sudhanshu in a guest role does well Marathi actors like Ashok Samarth and Ashok Saraf are superb, Samarth is excellent while Ashok will win his fans again after disappearance for some time, he excels towards the second half and leaves you in splits Anant Jog leaves a mark, Murli Sharma is adequate Govind Namdeo has less scope, Sachin Khedekar's comedy track wasn't in the original and his character was serious and it isn't that good here rest are okay
dry-ice-1 One of the worst movies of the year. Has no proper story line as one cannot understand why a village grown police would pick a fight with a state level notorious villain. Singham a village cop picks up an issue with a MLA wannabe baddie and finally defeats him. Ajay Devgan is seen with a frown all through the movie and does not have any emotions on his face. Action sequences are copied from various Bollywood and a few Hollywood movies, but have been done with utter disregard to laws of physics. All in all a waste of time a money, can watch the original Tamil version instead. At least its a entertainer if not a pain in the @$$.
