Singham Again: A Diwali celebration of action and heroism
He doesn't even need a gun, he just has to cock a thumb and finger and the armed goon drops down dead. Bajirao Singham is "ati shreshtham" the soundtrack yells accompanied with deafening drum beats.
In Rohit Shetty's "cop universe," there is more slow motion swagger, more cops, and so much action, that the ‘normal’ scenes look like they are interrupting the flow. Every character gets a loud, noisy, entry—two of them literally with a carnival in the background with thousands of extras.
In Bajirao Singham, the plot is not just borrowed from the Ramayan, just in case “today’s generation” has forgotten its mythology and tradition, a Ram Leela runs alongside, as if to explain what is happening or is about to happen. It begins with Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgn, also co-producer) in Kashmir, where he deflects an assassination attempt and wipes out terrorism. This is Naya Bharat, he explains to the last of the terrorist kingpins Omar Hafiz (Jackie Shroff), “jo ghuske maarta hai.”
