The cop universe expands with newer additions while the old ones return led by Bajirao Singham. Singham Again interweaves the mythological epic Ramayana's good vs evil narrative when his wife Avni Kamath gets abducted by Danger Lanka setting Bajirao and his gang of Sangram Bhalerao and Veer Sooryavanshi along with Satya and Shakti Shetty on a mission to rescue her.

Critic Consensus

Critical reception for Singham Again is mixed, leaning middling, with most reviewers acknowledging it as a mass entertainer that delivers on action spectacle and star power while falling short of deeper ambitions. Ranveer Singh's comedic energy is singled out by multiple critics as the film's standout element. Common criticisms include a weak, convenience-driven screenplay, a sluggish first half, a villain (Arjun Kapoor) who fails to convince, and action sequences that several reviewers found repetitive or derivative. A portion of critics found it serviceable for fans of the genre, while harsher voices called it loud, logic-free, and forgettable.

4.0
By far the brightest spark in the film is Ranveer Singh. With his constant chatter, he is indeed funny for the most part.

The result is loud and tedious, and instantly forgettable. But it's all so same-old that even the new locations don't help. Neither does all the blatant-referencing-and-copy-pasting of the great epic.

... is a big Diwali dhamaka. While it suffers from a screenplay of convenience and a weak soundtrack, it compensates with mass-pleasing moments, the parallels with Ramayana and the coming together of major stars - a phenomenon seen in Bollywood after ages.

The film features a contemporary twist on the mythological tale with a star-studded cast and meta jokes.

Rohit Shetty cooks up a family-sized entertainer with a mix of action, drama, and comedy that delivers on multiple fronts for its target audience.

Keep an eye out for the wild card at the end of the credits. Singham Again unleashes a high-octane blend of action and entertainment. Despite some flaws, this actioner roars.

Ajay Devgn’s Action-Packed Film Is Entertaining But Predictable

6.0
'Singham Again' is a power packed film which you can definitely watch once. The story of the film will entertain you, some scenes are definitely irritating, like Ajay Devgn shooting with his fingers, but overall this film is worth watching and deserves 3 stars.

6.0
In a nutshell, Singham Again is explosive and entertaining even if the tale continues to be predictable. The film scores high in terms of the scale, the drama and the impact!

Devesh Sharma· Filmfare
5.0
Singham Again feels like a first-person shooter game from the start, an endless stream of action sequences that make one feel as if they have been playing an RPG shooter with friends for two hours straight. Otherwise, watch Singham Again for its massive star presence and non-stop action. It's strictly for action buffs and Rohit Shetty fans.

Deepa Gahlot· Rediff
5.0
Singham Again is action heavy, so its appeal is limited to fans of the genre, unlike his other films that had the buoyancy and sense of fun that worked even with children. Arjun Kapoor does not look menacing, no matter how much is written for him.

This is what happens with the Ajay Devgn starrer - a confused and rather bland taste despite having perfect ingredients. The movie is all chaos and no play, with a chaotic and half-baked screenplay and execution that makes the action set-pieces monotonous, devoid of logic, and utterly underwhelming.

Eshita Bhargava· The Financial Express
2.0
Singham Again is an entertainer that leaves logic at the door, and star power can't rescue what amounts to Bollywood's latest misfire.

Rohit Shetty's direction is excellent. He has made a wholesome entertainer for all kinds of audience and for every age group. On the whole, Singham Again is a super-hit and will do extraordinary business.

The second half of Singham Again races along with energy, while the first half feels like a slow grind. Watch it for the second half. And Ranveer Singh.

The laziness and opportunism of the last few years have all but vaporized that distinction. By that metric too it disappoints. The Cop Universe is nearing a heat death.

The action set pieces are the raison d'etre of this film, and they are fabulously done, even if a couple of them are somewhat derivative. Rohit Shetty's films were not supposed to strain so much to entertain. If it were not for Ranveer Singh, Singham Again would be borderline boring.
