  • Trailer Review: Singham Again Is A Cringe Feast

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

    Popular Indian filmmaker Rohit Shetty is returning with another film in 2024. His last 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 Bajirao Singham. It is the fifth installment of the Rohit Shetty Universe. 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 other actors from the Rohit Shetty Universe, Akshay Kumar as Sooryavanshi and Ranveer Singh as Sangram Bhalerao make an extended cameo appearance in the film. Rohit Shetty’s two new entrants from the his Universe, T Shroff and Deepika Padukone are introduced in Singham Again with an extended cameo appearance.

The film also stars J 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 gets a lengthy introduction scene. The trailer is bursting with cringe dialogues and mindless stunt sequences. The entire film has CGI and VFX graphics.

    Singham Again might come as cringe to many. There are too many guest appearances and too many big stars featuring. 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 movie character in India. Rohit Shetty has often expressed his desire to introduce Chulbul Pandey in his 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 franchise. Salman Khan’s Dabangg character became an overnight sensation. It is still one of the most iconic 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 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 in November with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was announced to be released in November last year. But now with Singham Again coming in November things have got uglier and this 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 release on Amazon Prime Video in January 2025.

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

  • Ranveer Singh Now Eyeing A Big Comeback

    Nothing is going right for Ranveer Singh

    Ranveer Singh has been fortunate to stay popular and eminent since the beginning of his Hindi film career. He has been well-off to make headlines since his debut film. He has been privileged to work with big directors early in his movie career. But the past few months have been worrying for him. He has lost several films in the past few months.

    Ranveer Singh Bhavnani professionally known as Ranveer Singh comes from a filmy background. His parents are not exactly from the film industry. But he has quite a few families interrelated to the Bollywood industry.

    In 2010, YRF Head Aditya Chopra was awe-struck watching Ranveer Singh’s audition footage and immediately signed him in director Maneesh Sharma’s directional ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ opposite Anushka Sharma. The film became a commercial success at the box office and Ranveer Singh was awarded the Filmfare Award for the best debut male.

    Following the popularity of Ranveer and Anushka, YRF head and producer Aditya Chopra produced another movie with Ranveer and Anushka in the lead and Maneesh Sharma as the director. The film was titled ‘Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl’ and the film performed well at the box office. Both the films ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ and ‘Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl’ happened to be a breakthrough project for Ranveer Singh and as well as Anushka Sharma.

    Ranveer Singh has consistently managed to grab the eyeballs and stay in the headlines due to his unique flamboyant fashion sense and his relationship with then girlfriend now wife Deepika Padukone.

    In 2013, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, one of the most admired filmmakers in India signed Ranveer Singh opposite Deepika Padukone in a romantic tragedy movie titled ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’. The film had opened to positive reviews and emerged as a major commercial success. Post Ram Leela, Ranveer and Deepika starred in two more blockbuster movies for Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Bajirao Mastani (2015) and Padmaavat (2018). In between, Ranveer Singh starred in many box office hits such as Dil Dhadakne Do, Guday, and Gully Boy.

    Besides, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Ranveer Singh was signed by another big director of Hindi Cinema Mr. Rohit Shetty. Rohit and Ranveer collaborated for drama film Simmba in 2018. Simmba was birth of Rohit Shetty’s universe. After Simmba, Ranveer was seen doing a guest appearance in Rohit Shetty’s 2021 directional Sooryavanshi starring Akshay Kumar. Ranveer Singh once again will be seen doing a guest appearance as Simmba in Rohit Shetty’s 2024 release Singham Again starring Ajay Devgn.

    One of the most important films in Ranveer Singh’s career was 83 which was supposed to emerge a major success for its makers. 83 (2021) is a biographical film about the Indian Cricket Team led by Kapil Dev which won the 1983 Cricket World Cup as underdogs. The film was written and directed by Kabir Khan. The film starred an ensemble cast of Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Pankaj Tripathi, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Jiiva, Saqib Saleem, Jatin Sarna, Chirag Patil, Dhairya Karwa, Ammy Virk and Harrdy Sandhu among others. Upon its release 83 received widespread critical acclaim but the film underperformed at the box office which came as a huge shock for everyone.

    After 83, Ranveer Singh starred in two more commercial films which happened to be box office flops upon its release, Jayeshbhai Jordaar and Cirkus.

    In 2023, Ranveer Singh managed to hit the box office with Alia Bhatt in Karan Johar’s directional ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani’. The romantic comedy-drama film also starred Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, Aamir Bashir, Churni Ganguly, and Tota Roy Chaudhary among others. Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani was one of the most hyped films of the year because of its songs and amusing trailer. The film received positive reviews and performed well at the box office.

    Ranveer Singh has no release in 2024 besides doing a guest appearance in Singham Again. A few of his recently signed films have been shelved whereas he was heavily criticized for replacing Shahrukh Khan in D3.

    Ranveer was supposed to collaborate with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for another periodic drama film titled ‘Baiju Bawra’ following their successful collaboration in Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani, and Padmaavat. However, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has shelved ‘Baiju Bawra’ for now and announced another big project with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal.

    A few years ago, Ranveer and famous South director Shankar announced a film together. However, that film is also dropped due to creative differences.

    Ranveer Singh was announced to play the character of Shaktimaan in a Hindi superhero film. Shaktimaan was the most popular superhero TV Show played by Mukesh Khanna. A film on Shaktimaan was announced with Ranveer Singh but that film too has been shelved.

    Earlier the year director Prasanth Verma delivered a special film called HM. The Telugu superhero film received widespread critical acclaim and grossed over 350 crores globally becoming one of the highest-grossing Telugu films of 2024. Soon after HM, Prasanth Verma announced a collaboration with Ranveer Singh. But recently the news broke out that this film too has been shelved due to creative differences.

    Ranveer Singh has lost five to six films in the last six to eight months while D3 has generated a lot of hullabaloos for him.

    Following the mammoth success of Pathaan and Jawan, Shahrukh Khan has dropped the plans of doing D3 and is looking to do something fresh. While the makers of D3 signed Ranveer Singh to replace Shahrukh Khan and star as D in D3. This, of course, didn’t go well with the SRK fans who showed their disappointment and asked Ranveer Singh and director Farhan Akhtar to shelve D3. Ranveer can to do any film with Farhan Akhtar with another title but not D3. According to the reports, the makers of D3 are still muddled with the film. While some reports also suggest that Kiara Advani will be playing the female lead in D3.

    As of now, Ranveer Singh has no films in hand. Also, he has taken maternity leave as he and Deepika Padukone are expected to become parents soon. But the actor is planning a big comeback.
