• Singham calls for reinforcements, and this includes the usual with a few newer additions – DCP Shakti Shetty (introduced by Deepika Padukone) and rookie cop Satya Bali (introduced by Tiger Shroff). After a brutal attack on a police station that led to the death of officers, the team gets serious. They track Avni via Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, where a high-powered chase and rescue mission ensues.

Singham Again Box Office and Review

• Singham Again opened with an impressive box office number, thus making around INR 43.7 crores on its opening day alone. It collected a net of INR 125 crores on its opening weekend, which was a good start.

• The film eventually grossed approximately INR 316.45 crores in India and about INR 73.19 crores overseas.  This naturally brings th worldwide total to around INR 389.64 crores.

• Although the casting was impressive, and the box office crossed the INR 300 crore mark globally, the movie had underperformed. This was in comparison to the large film budget of around INR 340 crores. This ultimately resulted in the movie being rated as an average performer with moderate success.

• In terms of reviews, Singham Again received mixed reviews, and audiences praised the high-octane action scenes and the star-studded ensemble. The entertaining crossover of characters was another good thing about the movie.
• However, this was not devoid of criticism. The plot was called ‘predictable’ with a narrative that felt repetitive and lacking freshness. 

Connection with Mythology, and the epic ‘Ramayana’.

• The movie has a connection with the Ramayana mythology is primarily symbolic. It is woven into the film’s narrative via character parallels and thematic elements. 
• In the movie, Singham’s wife Avni is producing a play called ‘Ram leela’ – a traditional theatrical rendition of the ancient Hindu epic, the Ramayana, that narrates the life and challenges of Lord Rama.
• In this Ram Leela theme, which serves as a metaphor for the storyline. Bajirao Singham mirrors Lord Rama, who embodies righteousness and duty. He is also shown as a relentless fighter against evil.
• The criminal syndicate led by Omar and his grandson, Zubair Hafeez, symbolically the evil, or more particularly, the demon king, Ravana. Avni’s kidnapping symbolises the abduction of Sita by Ravana, as shown in the Epic. This is akin to Lord Rama’s quest to save Sita.
• The film thus uses the Ramayana’s timeless conflict that was shown several hundred years ago – but with a modern twist. The theme remains the same – an ensuing battle between good and evil that amplifies the story of justice and heroism. 
• This positions Singham as the modern-day Rama, who battles the evil and dark forces to restore peace and uphold dharma. This makes the mythological narrative a cultural backbone to the high-octane action thriller film.
