Review: Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor steal the show in Rohit Shetty’s 'Singham Again'

Rohit Shetty's Singham Again hit theatres on November 1, promising fans an action-packed adventure that is bigger and bolder than ever. Following the success of Singham (2011) and Singham Returns (2014), this third installment reunites the audience with Ajay Devgn’s iconic Bajirao Singham and dives into a thrilling Avengers-style crossover within Shetty’s Cop Universe. Featuring stars like Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, and introducing Deepika Padukone as Lady Singham, the movie combines the forces of Simmba, Sooryavanshi, and Singham in a high-octane Diwali spectacle.

Familiar Themes and Storyline with an Epic Twist

Singham Again brings a unique twist by incorporating elements of the Ramayana, reimagining characters in modern-day avatars inspired by the epic tale. Ajay Devgn's Singham is tasked with a new mission, ‘Scott Shiva,’ which pits him against Arjun Kapoor, who stuns as the ruthless Zubair Hafeez—a character with shades of a modern-day Ravan. Kareena Kapoor Khan reprises her role as Avni, Singham's wife, who hosts a grand Ramleela, adding depth to the narrative. The storyline expertly balances action with moments of comedy, especially in Ranveer Singh’s spirited portrayal of Simmba, delivering crowd-pleasing lines.

The Star Cast Shines: Power-Packed Performances

Ajay Devgn delivers as expected, but it’s Arjun Kapoor who steals the show with his debut in a negative role. His intense expressions and gritty dialogue delivery elevate him as a formidable antagonist, Zubair Hafeez, the grandson of Omar Hafeez (played by Jackie Shroff). Fans were also thrilled to see Sara Arfeen Khan, known for Bigg Boss 18, in a pivotal role. 

Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone's introduction as Lady Singham and Tiger Shroff’s debut as ACP Satya Pattnaik add fresh energy to the already star-studded cast. Salman Khan’s cameo as Mission Chulbul Singh in the climax hints at more excitement to come. 

Action and Visuals: A Feast for the Eyes

True to Rohit Shetty’s style, Singham Again is visually spectacular with stunning VFX and breathtaking action sequences. The movie opens with an intense fight scene featuring Arjun Kapoor, whose action sequence brings to mind Ranbir Kapoor's Animal hit song Arjan Valley. In a brutal display, Arjun’s character singlehandedly defeats 15 cops, showing the stakes have never been higher. Loud chest-thumping scenes paired with an electrifying background score amplify the experience, making it an exhilarating ride for action fans.

A Perfect Diwali Watch

For audiences seeking action, drama, and powerful performances, Singham Again delivers on all fronts. Packed with twists, turns, and surprising cameos, it’s a high-energy film that sticks to a clear trajectory and engaging plot. Ajay Devgn and Arjun Kapoor's performances are particularly memorable, while Shweta Tiwari, Dayanand Shetty, and Ravi Kishan leave a lasting impression in their supporting roles. The film's Gen-Z coded dialogues add a refreshing touch, making it appealing across age groups.

Final Verdict

With explosive action, emotional depth, and a cast brimming with star power, Singham Again is a one-time watch but promises an entertaining cinematic experience. Rohit Shetty has delivered another Diwali blockbuster that’s a perfect watch for the whole family, combining edge-of-your-seat drama with all the trademarks of his signature style.
