The much-anticipated Diwali clash between 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' and 'Singham Again' has ended in disappointment for the latter, as the film failed to live up to the expectations set by its blockbuster predecessor.
Background:
'Singham Again' is the fourth installment in the popular 'Singham' franchise, starring Ajay Devgn as the iconic police officer Bajirao Singham. The film was directed by Rohit Shetty, who is known for his action comedies. The original 'Singham' was a huge success in 2011, spawning two sequels and establishing Devgn as a bona fide action hero.
Synopsis:
'Singham Again' is set in the fictional city of Gopur, where DCP Bajirao Singham faces his toughest adversary yet: a ruthless crime lord named Hari Singh (Pulkit Samrat). The film also introduces new characters, including Deepika Padukone as Lady Singham, a fearless police officer who joins forces with Singham to fight crime.
Reception:
Despite the star-studded cast and big budget, 'Singham Again' has received mostly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike.
