Simmba Review thread - Page 2

After watching the first day, first show of Rohit Shetty's masala entertainer 'Simmba', there can be no doubt that Ranveer Singh can give a huge complex to any Kathakali artist. The navras coursing through his face in the first half of the movie is such that even we are hard pressed to keep track of all the emotions.

The plot revolves around the character of Inspector Sangram Bhalerao (Ranveer Singh), a corrupt police officer whose sole mission in life is to make money. How he has a change of heart post a heinous rape case he encounters forms the cruz of the story. Sara Ali Khan plays Sangram's love interest Shagun -- a role she plays with great gusto -- though unfortunately other than a few foot-tapping dance numbers with the hero she somehow fades into the background.

Ranveer proves a complete package -- here's an actor who can dance like a dream, do action like a true star, crack jokes and, when the situation demands it, specially in the second half of the movie, turn serious. Shetty's tried and tested formula works well enough for 'Simmba' to keep us hooked to our seats. He even pulls in his favourite Ajay Devgn towards the end as Inspector Bajirao Singham in an extended cameo. SPOILER And just when you think you've seen it all, Shetty manages to pull off a major coup at the end -- guess who's slated to don the police officer's uniform in 2019?

We'd give it 4 out of 5 stars purely for the entertainment factor.
