Singham


Movie Name: Singham
Genre: Action, Romance, Drama
Language: Hindi

I have been a fan of Ajay Devgn from his early days in film industry. I was waiting for the movie as I already watched “Singam” in Tamil in which Suriya was the protagonist. I was hopeful that Ajay could do justice with the role as he started his career as an action hero.

The movie is about an honest police inspector who is posted in his own village. He works according to his own definition of justice and law. He is the local hero. On the other side there is a city goon who has influence with Police and politicians. The story is about the confrontation and subsequent fighting between them. The plot is not innovative but the way story turns and twists, is interesting.

Ajay is looking great with his perfect physique and impressive voice. The movie is all about action sequences and dialogues. Ajay has done well in both the fields. The dialogues as well as the action scenes are funny. Prakash Raj has become stereotype in his villainous role. Actress Kajal Aggarwal has nothing to do in the movie. This movie is not for critics; rather it is for the movie buffs who believe in pure entertainment. The ending is a bit nonsensical. I will not compare Ajay with Suriya as both have their own styles. I liked both the movies. There is nothing to do for others. Music is good but the songs do not help the plot in any way. In short the movie is about action scenes, dialogues and Ajay Devgn.

My ratings are 3.5/5.0

  2. I have seen Dabangg in bits and pieces so I can not provide comparison with 100% honesty.
    But both the movies are very similar in story, characters and direction. Both of them focuses mainly on action sequences and dialogues.
    But when it comes to script, Singham deals with a larger issues with police department in general while Dabangg is the story of an individual cop. As for acting, I felt that both the actors Salman and Ajay did little for the sake of acting. The movies were about entertainment, only Singham did a little to introduce some drama and a message. My ratings for Dabangg will also be 3.5 as music was better.
