Singham

Loved Singham in all of his films! Excellent

There is one particular scene in Singham that is floating around the Internet in animated GIF form (when he shoots out the van's tire) that got me interested in this film initially (thanks Reddit!). I showed it to one of my friends, and in seconds we were ordering the DVD from Amazon to make it a special movie night. Singham succeeds all around as a fantastic action movie. As someone who grew up on mainstream American cinema and only more avant-garde stuff later in life, this movie was a breath of fresh air! The main character, Singham, was a good, upstanding guy who does what's right no matter what side of the law that entails. He has to make some tough decisions, but his persona stays strong and he doesn't brood about it. The fight scenes were top-notch, and it's clear that the fight choreographer wasn't afraid to ham it up a little and make some of fight sequences defy physics now and then! The opening dance sequence and other music and dance scenes provide a liveliness that one does not simply find in American movies anymore. Singham is a very accessible and relatable film for American audiences who are wondering what Bollywood is about.

Singham is back to basics story tellingSingham reminds you of the Hindi films that were made in the 70's and the 80's, where the story line was pretty straightforward, a honest cop, tries to correct a corrupt system by taking on the baddies and winning. MOst of these films were action films where the heo beat the living daylights of all the baddie singelhandedly. 'Singham' is a remake of the Southern film and stars Ajay Devgan ( son of Veeru Devgan) who teams up with Rohit Shetty as the director, who is also the son of ace film baddie Shetty is a tribute to that era.The backdrop is Shivgad, a small village on the border of Maharashtra and Goa. The film tells the story of an honest, diligent cop Bajirao Singham [Ajay Devgn], who fights against injustice and prejudice using his own ethics and principles. A sudden strike of destiny sets up Singham against the powerful criminal/politician Jaykant Shikre [Prakash Raj], challenging his morals and beliefs. Jaykant's powerful planning and force makes Singham land up in the ruling city of Jaykant Shikre, where he leaves no stone unturned to make Singham's life a nightmare to live. Ajay Devgan is a honest cop in the small town of Shivgad and is well respected and feared by villagers and criminals. Through the course of his work, he clashes with politician and goon, Jaykant Shikre ( Krishna Raj), who wows revenge. Shikre is unable to extract revenge on Devgan and in order to do that, gets hi transferred to the city of Goa. He makes his life a living hell. How Singham extracts revenge is the rest of the movie.This is a great entertainer and full of many powerful scenes, the scene at the movie theater where Ajay Devgan punishes the guy who has attempted to molest his girlfriend, most of the scenes between Krishna Raj and Ajay Devgan, the retaliation against the minister at his office are some of the best ones. Most of the scenes are the kinds which made people standup, clap and throw coins at the screen, eliciting this emotion in people today is hard but this film did just that. Trust me, I saw this film in a crowded theater...The action scenes are terrific, Rohit Shetty loves the slow moving frame and flying vehicles - plenty of those here. The drama component is extremely rivetting and I could not keep my eyes off the screen for the 2 hour and five minute runtime.Kavita Aggarwal is bubbly but wasted here because you just want her to disappear from the screen. Ajay Devgan is amazing, not only in the action sequences but also in the dramatic sequences. Devgan gives ample proof of his star power and shows us why he one of the most bankable stars today. His director buddy, Rohit Shetty has done a great job with te film and action sequences, directing both.This film could not have been imaginable without Krishna Raj, who has delivered one of the finest villanous acts in recent times. Whether he is vicious or pathetic, he was just simply awesome. The last time I loved a villian was when I saw Anupam Kher as Dr. Dang in Karma.One of the most entertaining films in recent times, high on raw power, story telling and emotion is an enjoyable ride. Highly recommended. Four stars.

Holy Cow. I went to Okinawa to visit my niece, and when she recommended a Bollywood film, I was a little nervous and skeptical. This film had me incredulous and cracking up. I loved his character and the sometimes overly dramatic(in a fun way) acting, as well as the amazing fight scenes. It's hard to explain. I had to run out an purchase it to give to my 21 year old son. He's a bit of a goofball, and I really think he's gonna enjoy it!

A great action film with the triumph of good over evil.I am so pleased with the full range of color and beauty that Bollywood movies fit into their productions. Also, the action sequences, the stunts, the positive message of honor and family values. It is as if the movie industry in India loves India.And the actors, actually act!

Congratulations on making the best decision you’ve ever made by choosing this movie. Singham is the greatest story ever told. It has something for everyone. Action, romance, drama musical breakdowns. The women are beautiful and the men are often shirtless.

Michael Bay does 70s Cop Flick after dropping acid and hiring a dance company. Think about it.This is not a movie for the serious. This is a movie to put in and watch with popcorn and a beer. And some friends. And the bad guy gets his just desserts, which is rapidly becoming rare in movies, so it's nice to see!

This movie was just great. Honestly when you look at the title and the plot don't expect some genius movie with great actors and an amazing plot. If you're expecting that you will be disappointed. The movie is just a great hang out night movie to laugh and enjoy. The fight scenes will not fail to make you laugh.
