Singham Again Trailer Review: A Cringe Feast

The cop film is slated to be released on 1st November during Diwali

Popular Indian filmmaker Rohit Shetty is returning with another cop action film in 2024. His last cop film came in 2021 with the Akshay Kumar led Sooryavanshi. His 2024 mega release is Singham Again starring Ajay Devgn in the title role as DCP Bajirao Singham. It is the fifth installment of the Rohit Shetty Cop Universe. The film is set to release during Diwali which is the biggest Indian festival. The film is set to release worldwide on 1st November.

The trailer of the film was released recently in a grand way. With an extent of 4.50 minutes is the longest trailer ever for an Indian movie. As was announced earlier and as seen in the trailer, the other two cops from the Rohit Shetty Cop Universe, Akshay Kumar as DCP Sooryavanshi and Ranveer Singh as ACP Sangram Bhalerao make an extended cameo appearance in the film. Rohit Shetty’s two new cops from the Cop Universe, Tiger Shroff and Deepika Padukone are introduced in Singham Again with an extended cameo appearance. Besides Ajay Devgn, Singham Again stars Kareena Kapoor Khan in the female lead and Arjun Kapoor as the main antagonist. The film also stars Jackie Shroff, Ravi Kishan, and Dayanand Shetty in pivotal roles.

Singham Again Trailer Review

The trailer of Singham Again is 4.50 minutes which is quite frustrating. Every actor and every cop gets a lengthy introduction scene. The trailer is bursting with cringe dialogues and mindless action sequences. Except for the Kashmir sequence, the entire film has CGI and VFX graphics.

This time the theme of the film largely focuses on Ramayana. Director Rohit Shetty has shown several sequences featuring Ramayana. The entire film is focused on the Ramayana story as Arjun Kapoor who is based in Sri Lanka kidnaps Kareena Kapoor Khan while Ajay Devgn along with Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, and Akshay Kumar head to Sri Lanka to save Kareena.

The Ramayana theme is splendid and will work massively. But Singham Again might come as cringe to many. There are too many guest appearances and too many big stars featuring as Cops. And it doesn’t end here as one big superstar is set to make a guest appearance in the post-credit scenes of the film.

Spoiler Alert: Entry of Chulbul Pandey

It is indeed true. One of the biggest superstars of the nation Salman Khan is confirmed to make a guest appearance in the film. He will star and reprise his role of Chulbul Pandey from the Dabangg film franchise. Chulbul Pandey is the most iconic cop movie character in India. Rohit Shetty has often expressed his desire to introduce Chulbul Pandey in his Cop Universe and this time he has done the unthinkable. It may be for a minute or two minutes but Salman Khan is confirmed to star as Chulbul Pandey in the post-credits scene of Singham Again.

Salman Khan’s Dabanng was released in 2010 to widespread critical acclaim. The film emerged as a major commercial success with Dabangg becoming the biggest cop franchise. Salman Khan’s Dabangg character became an overnight sensation. It is still one of the most iconic police characters in the history of Indian Cinema.

Followed by Dabangg in 2010, Rohit Shetty brought Singham film in 2011. Singham was a remake of a Tamil film of the same name starring Suriya in the lead role. Besides Dabangg, Rohit Shetty’s Singham became another iconic police character. And, today Rohit Shetty is combining both the franchise and brining both the iconic characters together.

According to the sources, Rohit Shetty recently met Salman Khan on the sets of his upcoming film. It was a short discussion where the director seemed to have convinced Salman Khan to do a cameo in his film. Salman who shares a healthy and great equation with Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn could not refuse. The makers of Singham Again are yet to shoot the post-credit scene of Salman Khan with the film releasing in just 20 days.

Singham Again vs Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3

Singham Again was earlier scheduled to be released on 15th August 2024 but got postponed due to post-production work. Later, the film was announced to release during Diwali clashing with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was announced to be released on Diwali last year. But now with Singham Again coming in Diwali things have got uglier and the clash will affect the business of both of the films. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is one of the most awaited films of the year.

Singham Again is jointly produced by Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn, and Jio Studios. Both the films Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 are sure shot superhits. But with Salman Khan making a cameo in Singham Again, the makers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 would be anxious. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has to be a massive entertaining comedy horror film to become a blockbuster.  While Singham Again is a certified blockbuster even if it receives mixed reviews.

We predict Singham Again to earn over 300 crores in Hindi and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 to earn over 150 crores in Hindi. If released solo, Singham Again has a chance of earning more than 500 crores in Hindi, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will earn over 300 crores in Hindi.

Singham Again is set to become the highest grossing film for Rohit Shetty by beating the lifetime collection of his previous films ‘Chennai Express’ and ‘Simmba’.

Singham Again will premiere on Amazon Prime Video in January 2025.

After Singham Again, the next cop film from Rohit Shetty Cop Universe could be Sooryavanshi 2. But before Sooryavanshi 2, Rohit Shetty and his team would be making Golmaal 5.
