Movie Review: Policegiri

Singham on overdose... jeeps blast into space, bodies fly defying every law of physics, the earth ripples with every footstep, and the soundtrack bangs your eardrums into submission. At the end, the ruthless goonda with the funny streak meets a gory end, and the junta is rid of the scum.

The problem with Policegiri is that is tries too hard. Too loudly. Too overtly. And

Sunju Baba looks his age, with a paunch, romancing a tired and jaded Prachi, looking more like his fed up daughter. You miss the lovable Singham and the oh so pretty Kavya. Prakash Raj has his moments, which taste like Singham left overs, but is a far cry from the amazing Jaykant in Singham. And none of the support cast add any value. There is no Shiva Nayak. Instead, we have a very wasted Rajpal Yadav, and his now-a-must super obese side kick mouthing kachwa jokes. And some very forgettable songs simply add to the already long 150 mins of mayhem.

Avoidable. Unless you are a Sunju Baba fan...
