Review
Singham Again has received a range of positive and negative reviews from critics and viewers alike. Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars, commenting, "The blockbuster jodi of Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn has once again hit the bullseye and given a perfect Diwali entertainer." On the other hand, Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave it 1.5 out of 5 stars, writing, "It's all so same-old in Ajay Devgn-Rohit Shetty's Singham Again that even the new locations don't help." Eshita Bhargava of The Financial Express gave 1 out of 5, observing, "By the interval, 'Singham Again' had lost its way, becoming an unconvincing collage of misplaced patriotism, forced mythology, and absurd action."
Despite the mixed critical reception, the film has performed well at the box office, indicating a strong fan base and audience interest in high-energy action dramas.
