Review: It’s a remake of Tamil movie, Singam. But yes, it’s a very good remake made by Rohit Shetty. High voltage stunts, electrifying action sequences, very well written dialogues and  High flying cars in mid air, the movie has all that which makes it a very good action movie with fully energetic performance of Ajay Devgan and elegant and effortless performance from Kajal Aggarwal. Ajay Devgan performance in the movie takes us to the old great movies of Bollywood where angry young police officers try’s to take on the bad guys. Prakash Raj’s performance can’t be taken away, a very good one. Songs of the movie were average but the music of the movie was great. Most of the story line is almost the same as Singam of Tamil but it can be expected as it is a remake of it. First of the movie goes on a little decent one but the second part is full of action. Movie as a whole is full of action and entertainment and a must watch.
