Singham - the hindi remake of the superhit Tamil film of the same name is a revelation.The film works as it is against the popular trend of south remakes of hard core action films. It does not have boorish language not any gruesome violence - making the film have a widespread appeal.
Singham does boast some over-the-top action sequences which defy laws of nature, and has some cheesy one-liners.l The storyline is tight and plays up village ethics and value systems as apposed to the convoluted city ideals. Language tends to be a problem as the movie as heavy usage Marathi - playing up the Maratha bravery image.
Prakash Jha is stellar as the egoistic comic villain. He never fails to deliver and surprise the audience going by his recent line up of films.Aarti Aggarwal's role does not give her much scope to perform, however she looks beautiful and befits her character well.
Music by the Marathi duo Ajay-Atul complements the movie. Sheya Ghoshal's "Saathiya" and title track "Singham" are memorable.
Overall this film has a mass appeal - it shall roar both in single screens and multiplexes, especially since no other movie is in sight for 2 weeks.Watch it - you'd be surprised, its a new take to action films.
