Plot
[edit]DCP Bajirao Singham, is now married to Avni Kamat, who works in the Cultural Ministry, and has a son, Shaurya. He is transferred from Mumbai to Srinagar for three years. Once there, he is attacked by the Chief of Lashkar, Omar Hafeez, who had fled from Pakistan to Sri Lanka and started selling drugs after his sons, Riyaaz and Raza's plans were thwarted.[a] Singham successfully arrests him, but Omar arrogantly threatens him about the danger coming towards him, Sangram "Simmba" Bhalerao, and Veer Sooryavanshi for killing his sons. Singham meets Home Minister Raj Jaishankar and tells him about the drug syndicate operating in India and how they are being transported from Sri Lanka to the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu. Using the profits from the drug trade, Omar wants to initiate another terrorist attack on India. Jaishankar commissions a new squad, Shiva Squad, led by Singham and his fellow officers, ACP Daya and ACP Devika, to stop and destroy Lashkar.
Two years later, Avni is hosting a theatre production of Ramlila, depicting the journey of Lord Ram and Sita. Singham catches a ship sailing towards Tamil Nadu from Sri Lanka and finds drugs in the containers and arrests four men working for a person named Danger Lanka. Upon interrogating them, the arrested men reveal that three of Lanka's associates were residing in Madurai. Singham calls upon DCP Shakti Shetty from Madurai to arrest and escort all three of them to Mumbai, which she does promptly. However, on the same night, Danger Lanka arrives at the police station, kills all the policemen, and rescues his three men. Shakti feels guilty for not being able to save the police officers, but Singham consoles and tells her to track them down.
Meanwhile, Avni departs for Rameshwaram to shoot some footage for the production along with her colleague, Mrigya. Singham sends Daya along with them. Upon collecting footage for the production, Avni is about to go back to Mumbai when she is abducted by Danger Lanka. He reveals that it was a plan made by him and Mrigya. On hearing of Avni's abduction, Singham and his team leave for Rameshwaram. Meanwhile, Daya tails and finds Avni, rescues and helps her to run away. However, she is chased by Lanka's men and in the ensuing chase, throws her bangles, which were gifted by Singham, as a mark for him to trace. While trying to save Avni, Daya gets brutally injured by Lanka. Avni is then rescued by ACP Satya Bali, who considers Singham his inspiration and takes her to his home. Singham reaches there and meets Daya, who is in a critical state and airlifts him. He finds Avni's bangles and finds out that she is with Satya.
Lanka reaches and attacks Satya's home, and in the midst, Avni is shot and abducted by Lanka. Singham arrives there, meets Satya, and saves his family. Lanka goes back to Sri Lanka and reveals to Singham, his true identity as Zubair Hafeez, Omar's grandson, who wants to take revenge on Singham, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi; and Mrigya reveals her identity as Iqra Hafeez, Zubair's aunt whose husband, Raza, was also killed by the three of them. They reveal that they both stayed in India for two years to keep an eye on Singham and Avni. Zubair tells Singham to bring Omar along with Simmba and Sooryavanshi and take Avni back with him. Singham vows to him and Omar Hafeez to save Avni.
Zubair reaches Colombo and keeps Avni hostage. He tells Singham to send Simmba to Sri Lanka to check on Avni. Singham goes to Shivgarh and meets Simmba. He agrees to go to Sri Lanka and meets Avni and tells her that Singham is coming to rescue her. Just as Zubair tries to trap Simmba, he escapes from Zubair's clutches by destroying his hideout. Meanwhile, Singham secretly reaches Sri Lanka and with the help of a few RAW agents, finds Simmba and Avni. Jaishankar sends Omar Hafeez to Colombo on a military plane. Shakti and Satya arrive at the port the next day and help Simmba and Singham to rescue Avni. Sooryavanshi joins them in their fight and together they rescue Avni. Singham kills Zubair and goes back to India along with Avni and his team, while the military plane carrying Omar Hafeez returns to India with him. Avni is finally able to wrap up her production of the Ramlila show as it becomes a huge success.
In the post-credits scene, Inspector Chulbul Pandey visits Singham's cabin and asks to join his Shiva Squad.

Critical reception
[edit]On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 31% of 16 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.4/10.[62]
Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost rated 3.5/5 stars and notes "The blockbuster combo of Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn has again hit the bullseye and delivered a perfect Diwali entertainer."[63] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated 1.5/5 stars and opined "It’s all so same-old in Ajay Devgn-Rohit Shetty's Singham Again that even the new locations don’t help. Neither does all the blatant-referencing-and-copy-pasting of Ramayan."[64] Eshita Bhargava of The Financial Express gave a rating of 1/5 and writes "By the interval, “Singham Again” had lost its way, becoming an unconvincing collage of misplaced patriotism, forced mythology, and absurd action. It had potential, but it's lost under too many weak layers."[65]
Rishabh Ganguly of Times Now rated 3.5/5 stars and highlights that "Do not expect to get a strong storyline, tear-jerking performance or unexpected twists from Singham Again. Logic and Rohit Shetty entertainers do not align and if you are a fan of the latter, this movie will live up to your expectations."[66] Sana Farzeen of India Today rated 3.5/5 stars and writes "Rohit Shetty reimagines the Ramayan in his cop universe with Ajay Devgn as Bajirao Singham, offering a blend of humour, drama, and action."[67] Dhaval Roy of The Times of India rated 3.5 /5 stars and wrote "The movie is unabashedly entertaining, cheesy, and wild, with moments that will have you laughing out loud. Singham Again unleashes a high- octane blend of action and entertainment. Despite some flaws, this actioner roars."[68] Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com rated 2.5/5 stars and notes "Singham Again is action heavy, so its appeal is limited to fans of the genre."[69] Bollywood Hungama rated the film 4.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "On the whole, Singham Again is a big Diwali dhamaka. While it suffers from a screenplay of convenience and a weak soundtrack, it compensates with mass-pleasing moments, the parallels with Ramayana and the coming together of major stars – a phenomenon seen in Bollywood after ages."[70]
Shilajit Mitra, writing for The Hindu, calls the movie "ostensibly an action potboiler and an Avengers-like ‘team-up’ movie but playing like an ad for the tourism ministry's Ramayana trail."[71] Prathamesh Jadhav of The Free Press Journal rated 3/5 stars and wrote "In a nutshell, Singham Again is explosive and entertaining even if the tale continues to be predictable. The film scores high in terms of the scale, the drama and the impact!"[72] Eba Fatima Azeem of News 24 rated 3/5 stars and opined "Singham Again is a swaggering, action-packed film with a Ramayana-inspired theme and is ideal for fans. Even with its predictable story, it delivers exactly what you’d expect."[73] Jaya Dwivedie of India TV News rated 3/5 stars and wrote "Singham Again is a power packed film which you can definitely watch once. The story of the film will entertain you, some scenes are definitely irritating, like Ajay Devgn shooting with his fingers, but overall this film is worth watching and deserves 3 stars."[74]
Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times writes, "Singham Again has a strong second half with engaging performances, especially by Ranveer Singh, but suffers from a chaotic first half."[75] Komal Nahta of Film Information wrote, "On the whole, Singham Again is a super-hit and will do extraordinary business. It will work in the multiplexes as well as single-screen cinemas and will appeal to men and women, girls and boys, young and old, rich and poor."[76] Scroll.in wrote, "If it were not for Ranveer Singh, Singham Again would be borderline boring."[77] DNA India wrote "Ajay Devgn is in his element but in a better way. Despite this being an established franchise, Singham Again doesn't try to go beyond the set pattern, which tremendously works in the film's favour."[78]
Davesh Sharma of Filmfare.com rated 2.5/5 stars wrote, "All in all, watch Singham Again for its massive star presence and non-stop action. It’s strictly for action buffs and Rohit Shetty fans."[79] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave 2/5 stars and opined, "By far the brightest spark in the film is Ranveer Singh. With his constant chatter, he is indeed funny for the most part."[80]
