Singham Returns Trailer Review - "Box Office will roar"

Anup Pandey

Blockbuster factory Rohit Shetty’s product of the year 'Singham Returns' is the sequel of his 2011 hit Tamil remake Singham. 'Singham Returns' is an original script. The sequel, Singham Returns, will see Ajay Devgn (Bajirao Singham) battling villainous forces and even some political parties to eradicate the menace of 'Black money'. 

Setting of the film has moved from Goa to Mumbai, most of which looks like a terrible outcome of CG. Extending the help of under-average VFX and CGI, we will be served with extremely unreal action sequences, as if flying-in-air fighting wasn’t a joke gone wrong. Shetty, as usual, will blow it out of proportion along with some Scorpios! (Whoa, did you see that man bouncing off the barrel? Law of Gravity? Screw that!). Fuelling the octane, here’s Mumbai police firing full bass-boosted arms directly imported from Gangs Of Wasseypur. 

Those unreal actions are what boosts his films. Though people don’t buy them, they enjoy it. They will enjoy this film more because it has Kareena Kapoor as the eye-candy of the film. She might just have a role as big as she had in the trailer. Singham Returns is again a male-dominated film. It will be interesting to see Amole Gupte as a villain in film like this after he has played it in Vishal Bhardwaj’s dark action film Kaminey and in Shubhash Kapoor’s satirical Phas Gaye Re Obama.

Though Ajay-Atul’s title music piece is used in the trailer, it is Jeet Ganguly, Ankit Tiwari and Meet Bros Anjjan who are credited for the music. Though the latter trio are these days deployed in a music album only for a quick chart-buster, it would be interesting to hear the former two for an action film as they only have template-based melancholic soundtracks to their credits as of yet. 

The ambition of Singham Returns lies solely in its box-office collection. It will succeed there given that it is releasing on Independence Day for larger mass appeal.
