Not sure.. some saying he is doing cameo and a WOW suprise at the end

Maybe they are announcing another cop movie with akki next year along with cameo

I thinks that's the case. But I won't call it exactly a coup cos Akki has played cop before.

Rapid review of Simmba: The climax is cracking, but the movie isn't consistently good

The good vs evil tale is predictable, but isn't yawn-inducing

Published: December 27, 2018 12:45By Manjusha Radhakrishnan, Chief Reporter, tabloid!

Director Rohit Shetty's films are an acquired taste.

His leading men are high on style and low on subtlety. Simmba, starring a strapping Ranveer Singh in police officer's uniform, is no different. It's loud as ever.

Singh plays the title role of a roguish corrupt cop who undergoes an abrupt transformation when a woman gets raped under his watch. Singh's swagger and cavalier attitude towards his law enforcement job is spot-on, but gets excessive at points. Sara Ali Khan has very little to do and is on call to look pretty.

The good vs evil tale is predictable, but isn't yawn-inducing and a timely cameo from Ajay Devgn, the hit star of Shetty's Singham series in which he played an irreverential police officer, liven things up. The climax is cracking, but the movie isn't consistently good.

Read my full review in Gulf News tabloid! soon.

Cast: Ranveer Singh, Sonu Sood, Ashutosh Rana and Sara Ali Khan.

Stars: 2.5 out of 5

Well atleast she did not find it boring and her main grouse is that it is a typical hero vs villain tale. A Rohit film getting a 2.5 is the norm but a 4 star review is shocking😆

yes i read the tabloid short review and it isnt terrible, she did like some parts of the movie and said the climax is very good, a big plus point is that she said it isn't boring

yep getting 2.5 stars is very normal for a rohit film 😆 khaleej times giving it 4/5 was a surprise, the reviewer seemed to really like the film

Reviews have begun I see. So far so good. In the end, mass audience will be the judge. I personally dont think it can go too wrong. Judging from the last IV, everyone was acting so confident and sure about the movie and had such smiles on their faces. Hoping for the best.
