Detailed Analysis:
'Singham Returns' is hitting the screens today and it is directed by director Rohit Shetty. Film is sequel of super hit 'Singham' released in 2011. Film has big independence week release advantage. Film is all about nexus of black money, politics. religious leaders and system. Guru ji (Anupam Kher) is an idealistic leader and is trying to change political system by fielding young candidates in election. This is causing discomfort among corrupt alliance partners like Baba (Amole Gupte) and Rao (Zakir Hussain). One policeman dies in mysterious circumstances and this incidence puts complete system in jeopardy. How Bajirao Singham exposes evils and villains form the rest of the story. Performance wise Ajay Devgn is superlative and looks intense throughout. His dialogue delivery is impeccable and his action shots are breathtaking. Kareena Kapoor does not get meaty role and in that too she looks disinterested. Amole Gupte is good as Baba but at times he overacts. Zakir Hussain is good so is Anupam Kher. Mahesh Manjerkar is average in irrelevant role. Editing by Steve Bernard is slick and cinematography is decent. Dialogue writers Sajid - Farhad does terrific job and Yunus Sajawal delivers interesting screenplay. Music is very boring and background scores screams unnecessarily. Art direction is good and so are costumes. But it is director Rohit Shetty who holds the complete film together and again displays right medley of entertainment. It seems that his super hit streak will continue for some time come. Film will release today and will get huge opening due to Independence day. Film will get some competition from 'Entertainment' but good release size of 3600 screens will give it chance to score big at box office. Film has capacity to surprise at box office and might manage to stay a float in 2nd week as there is only one release 'Mardaani'.
