Snapshot of the story
Rohit Shetty has made good action movies as a small town cop Singham (Ajay Devgan) who is honest, likes to help all and can not tolerate injustice (in short a perfect cop) gets entangled with a gangster who uses his political power to make his life a mysery. It is a face paced story showing how he overcomes these challenges.
Ratings and Reviews of Singham
Storyline
Ajay Devgan is an honest cop living in a small town who believes in helping people. Because of the small locality every one knows each other. Every thing goes smoothly until the day when Singham wants a local high profile goon Jaykant Shikre (Prakash Raj) to see him in police custody. He tries to avoid this by using his influence which did not work and he needs to visit the police station. With revenge in his mind of this humiliation Jaykant Shikre uses his political power and Singham gets transferred to this locality and then starts the cat and mouse game between them.
This is the most interesting part of the movie as the goon Jaykant Shikre and Singham try to have an upper hand with each other and this is the part of movie where action, drama and love follows. The role of Singham suits very well with Ajay Devgan. The movie has some strong dialogues and larger than life image of an Indian hero. There are some action scenes where we defy the laws of gravity and is entertaining to watch.
In this high action drama director Rohit Shetty has introduced a moving story. Debutant Kajal Agrawal looked beautiful and very impressive in her first movie. Singham finds plenty of convolution in the story and it was good to see how entire police department stands against the goon and overpowers them.
On Screen Chemistry
The charismatic appearance of Ajay Devgan’s steals the show, romance is not the theme of the movie and could be the reason it has not been showcased as well. This is typical of the movie where there is fight over good and bad and one may think if one never gets tired of such stories? Singham does not have a strong storyline but fast paced movie which this is, keeps the audience interested.
Rating
Singham score 6.5 out of 10 for good performance of every actor especially Ajay Devgan and Prakash Raj. Action scenes were good but did not have freshness which we expected.

Snapshot of the story
This is the story of a young man Siddharth, (played by Aamir Khan) who is an acting member of the mafia that terrorizes local people and asks for protection money from vendors. Then happens the series of incidents as he stands against the mafia to protect the local vendors.
Theme of Story
Siddhartha is an amateur boxer and arm of the mafia run by Ronnie (played by Sharat Saxena) who uses muscle power against those who do not give protection money. The local people and vendors are terrified by them and are also backed by political power who override the law and order. Aamir Khan’s brother Jai (played by Rajit Kapoor) takes care of Ronnie’s accounts of all the extorted money. There is a social activist who raise the voice against Ronnie and tries to build a team against the mafia but in the process gets killed by them. Siddhartha becomes the lone eye witness of this murder and from that day he starts to keep his distance from Ronnie.
Aamir Khan meets Alisha (played by Rani Mukherjee) who is member of the biker’s gang and this is the most romantic part of the story where they start dating and fall in love. Aamir gained popularity with a real stunt which runs against the speeding train to win the bet with biker’s gang as to jump off the track as late as possible.
After meeting Rani Mukherjee, Amir Khan comes to know that the social activist was the brother of Rani and decides to file the lawsuit. Ronnie want Rajit Kapoor (being elder brother) to convince Aamir Khan not to do so and take as much money he want but he reject the offer and as result Ronnie kills Aamir’s brother. Revenge in his mind, Aamir challenges Ronnie for one to one fight. These action scenes were pictured very well and connect with audience.

On Screen Chemistry
As always Aamir Khan gave his best, this was the 2nd movie of Rani Mukherjee and she also impresses with his screen presence. Duo Jatin-Lalit worked hard to create the romantic music and song rendered by Aamir Khan “Aati Kya Khandala…” was the chart topper for long time. Stand amongst the finest movie makers Vikram Bhatt is a versatile director that has made comedy, horror, drama and this time he tried action movie but could not justify with Ghulam with weak story line and direction.
Conclusion
Ghulam gives the loud and clear message to raise the voice against wrong doing and mafia which is danger to every ones independence. Movie does not run on the flat note and has many high and low in the story that some time spoil you experience but Aamir Khan with his strong and emotional performance made a hit.
Rating
7/10
