What happens
Singham is a 2011 Indian Hindi-language action film directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Reliance Entertainment, based on a script by writers Yunus Sajawal and Farhad-Sajid. A remake of the 2010 Tamil film Singam by Hari, the film stars Ajay Devgn as the titular character Bajirao, an honest police officer, while Kajal Aggarwal, who returns to Hindi films in her first full–fledged role, and Prakash Raj, who reprises his role from the original film, appear as leads. Singham marked Devgn's and Shetty's return to the action genre after several years. It was theatrically released in India on 22 July 2011 with generally positive reviews from the critics towards praise for action-emotional drama, dialogues and homage to 70s masala films. It opened with strong box office response; the film earned ₹87.6 million in India on the first day and a worldwide total of ₹1.41 billion against a ₹410 million budget, becoming a box-office blockbuster. Singham gained a cult film status over the years, particularly for Devgn's portrayal of Bajirao and Raj's portrayal of Shikre. After the film's success at the box office, Devgn and Shetty collaborated for the sequels Singham Returns (2014) and Singham Again (2024). Devgn reprised his role in Shetty's directorials of Simmba (2018) and Sooryavanshi (2021), which together form Shetty's Cop Universe. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
