According to Bollywood Bell, Shetty has succeeded once again in crafting an action-packed spectacle reminiscent of Simmba, but on an even grander scale. Shetty’s trademark style, which emphasizes thrilling action sequences and stylish hero entries, shines throughout Singham Again, creating unforgettable moments for each character. Ajay Devgn’s portrayal of Singham received special praise for his remarkable entry, intense fight sequences, and gripping performance. The review highlighted Devgn’s commitment to bringing an engaging portrayal of his character, adding depth to the movie’s action-packed storyline.
Akshay Kumar’s return to the cop role also drew admiration, with Bollywood Bell noting his “badass” style and captivating action sequences. Though Arjun Kapoor plays the villain in Singham Again, he, too, managed to make an impression, particularly during his face-off moments with Devgn, which heightened the film’s intensity. While Kapoor may not fully embody the quintessential villain role, his action sequences added enough power to complement the heroes.
Salman Khan’s Cameo: A Scene-Stealing Moment
One of the most thrilling moments, as per the review, is Salman Khan’s brief but impactful appearance as his iconic character, Chulbul Pandey from Dabangg. Lasting just three minutes, his cameo was described as an absolute showstopper, eliciting “whistles and screams” from audiences and reminding fans of Chulbul Pandey’s unforgettable charisma. His presence on screen not only added an unexpected twist but also intensified the film’s already impressive energy. Despite its brevity, Salman’s cameo stole the show, proving that his character still commands the audience’s love and excitement.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh: Hits and Misses
Deepika Padukone also made a noteworthy appearance, adding her own flair to Shetty’s Cop Universe. Bollywood Bell highlighted her scenes as contributing positively to the film’s action and drama. However, Ranveer Singh’s performance received mixed reactions, with the review calling it “bogus.” While Singh has been known for his high-energy roles, it seems that his character in Singham Again didn’t resonate as strongly with this particular reviewer.
Visual Spectacle with Impressive VFX
The review lauded Singham Again’s visual effects, noting that the VFX was “far better than expected.” The effects contribute to the movie’s sense of scale and spectacle, enhancing the high-octane action scenes that Shetty is famous for. With these polished visuals, Shetty successfully brings his characters to life in a dynamic, cinematic universe filled with eye-catching stunts and meticulously choreographed sequences.

The choreography of the fight scenes, combined with Shetty’s expertise in crafting high-energy action, reinforces Singham Again as an impressive addition to the Bollywood action genre.
