Rohit Shetty's 10th ₹100 Crore Film Broke All the Records on Diwali Release, Singham Again
A big success Singham Again has been at the box office with an excellent weekend followed by a decent show in Monday. Directed by Rohit Shetty, this is the 10th film which has entered the coveted club of ₹100 crore for him. This action-packed entertainer became the first million-dollar grosser for this film in just three days, breaking the records of any Shetty film like Golmaal 3 (2010), Singham (2011), Chennai Express (2013), Simmba (2018), and Sooryavanshi (2021). Super quick success is proof that the film has crossed acceptance levels with the viewers.
Powerhouse Cast: A Bollywood Rarity
It's the stellar ensemble cast of Singham Again that makes this film truly stand out. Shetty did what very few directors can do these days: he managed to collect seven of Bollywood's biggest stars under one roof. Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Arjun Kapoor all share the screen in a balanced manner, with every actor's star power respected.
It is a big achievement to gather such a cast in an era where multi-starrers are scarce. The rapport Shetty has with these actors, built over years of successful collaborations, played a crucial role in making this possible.
Why Rohit Shetty Stands Apart
One of the big problems with multi-star movies these days is that every actor wants their piece of the pie. Everyone is wary of screen time or whether the co-stars are going to upstage them. Rohit Shetty has a very healthy rapport in the industry. The fact that he is treating every actor fairly makes for entertaining and high-octane cinema.
Now Ajay Devgn, since ages, has a kind of relationship with Shetty, which can be called legendry. Ranveer Singh, after Simmba, just cannot help himself but talk about the good fortune of having had Shetty as his director. Sooryavanshi happened, and without any kind of hesitation Akshay Kumar went back to the cop universe. Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Deepika Padukone after having done films in the past with him were like they were going to deliver something good. This was the first film for both Tiger Shroff and Arjun Kapoor with this director, but they knew that they were in safe hands.
Even Salman Khan, a superstar in his own right, recognized the potential of Shetty's cop universe, agreeing to a cameo role, with plans for a larger part in the future.
Doing Justice to Every Actor's Role
Despite the long list of stars, Rohit Shetty made sure each of them got a chance to shine. It was obvious that Ajay Devgn would be on center stage as the icon Bajirao Singham. Ranveer Singh showed his comedy side and brought comedy to the film, but Arjun Kapoor did quite well as the villain; he has received positive word of mouth. Kareena Kapoor Khan, the lone non-cop character in the film, made sure her presence was felt.
After all, while some may say Tiger Shroff, Deepika Padukone, and Akshay Kumar were on-screen less, memorable action sequences had ensured everyone still felt their presence. Shetty balanced their roles well enough that no fanbase walked out feeling disappointed.
Bollywood has a new Benchmark
Rohit Shetty's Singham Again is much more than a box office success; it is the class in managing a multi-star cast in modern Bollywood. Mixing action, humor, and star power, Shetty has created a film that gives audiences more bang for their buck. In an industry where putting so many major actors on the screen is a rare sight, Singham Again sets a new standard for the Bollywood blockbuster.
