Movie Review: Singham

Honest cop, corrupt politicians and a lonely fight for justice. Singham takes one of the most commonly used subjects in our film industry, and dishes out a complete entertainer that will make you laugh, scream, hoot and enjoy to the hilt...  from the Rajnikanth-style fight sequences, to the hilarious dialogues, the gorgeous locales of Goa shot in stunning light, the very beautiful and ever-so-brightly-smiling Kajal Aggarwal with the best wardrobe I have seen for a long, long time, to the ever-so-macho Ajay Devgan in a role perfect for him taking on the almost-lovable-yet-sinister Prakash Raj as the goonda-turned-politician... add to that a very charged up mostly-Maratha audience in a packed theatre, entertainment can't get much better!

A must watch movie, for 150 reasons - every minute an enjoyable experience!

And yes, also a good moment to stop and think about the police force that protects and serves, and one we malign due to the actions of a few. Next time, on Diwali night, when you get irritated about the naka bandis and swear at the cops, remember, their family is alone at home, so that you might be safe! Smile, hand over a box of pedhas, and wish them - because they are the reason you are enjoying tonight.
