Singham (Hindi)

Release Date:

A sudden strike of destiny sets up Singham against the tremendously powerful criminal cum politician Jaykant Shikre (Prakash Raj), challenging his morals and beliefs. Jaykant's powerful planning and force makes Singham land up in the ruling city of Jaykant Shikre, the city of 'Goa', where he leaves no stone unturned to make Singham's life a nightmare to live.

Rediff

Singham is more of a whimper than a roar

The Telegraph

Singham has its moments, but it is overall a ham, a piece of ordinary cinema.

All that's larger than life in Singham is Devgn's muscles

The Sunday Guardian

This is Wanted Part 2 or Dabanng Part 2 without Salman Khan's crazy charm

India Today

Watch it for its robust potboiler personality. With extra masala as garnish

Singham is for Ajay Devgn fans only

But for a stray over-the-top scene here or a corny piece of dialogue there, it wears the look of a lean, mean and smartly packaged entertainer

Leaves you goofy, grinning and clapping with glee

Times of India

A full-on masala film that works
