singham cringe funny
The much-awaited trailer of Singham Again dropped on October 7, and it has left viewers divided—though not in the way the makers might have hoped. Directed by Rohit Shetty and set to release during Diwali, this latest entry into the cop universe has sparked a flood of memes and criticism, with many calling the trailer nothing short of cringe-worthy.
At nearly five minutes long, the Singham Again trailer is one of the longest in Indian cinema’s history, yet audiences are struggling to sit through it. Packed with explosions, gunfire, and larger-than-life heroic entries, the trailer attempts to amp up the intensity but ends up falling flat for many. Social media users have been quick to poke fun at the formulaic approach, with comments like “Why watch the movie when everything is already in the trailer?” and “It’s a five-minute short film, not a trailer.”
Adding to the dismay, many found the expressions, acting, and screenplay entirely over-the-top. Ajay Devgn returns as the iconic cop Bajirao Singham, joined by an ensemble cast including Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, and Akshay Kumar. However, despite this star-studded lineup, the performances are being widely mocked. Deepika Padukone’s entry as Shakti Shetty, in particular, has been the subject of much online ridicule. One user wrote, “Deepika’s dialogue delivery is down the drains, man.”
The film’s plot seems to take heavy inspiration from the Ramayana, with Singham embarking on a quest to rescue Kareena Kapoor’s character, Avni, while being joined by the usual suspects of Rohit Shetty’s copverse. However, this mythical twist has not saved the trailer from harsh reactions, with viewers accusing the film of cramming too many elements into one storyline.
Fans have noted that the movie looks like a typical Rohit Shetty production, with over-the-top action scenes, blazing guns, and heroic moments every few seconds. But this time, it appears the formula has gone stale. Despite the high production budget, which makes Singham Again one of the most expensive Bollywood films, the trailer has failed to resonate. “Flop hogi. Too much khichdi,” one X user aptly summarized the general sentiment.
As viewers struggle to get through the five-minute trailer, many wonder how they’ll sit through the full movie. With complaints of excessive action, poor acting, and cringe-worthy moments filling social media feeds, it remains to be seen whether Singham Again can deliver at the box office or if it will simply become a cinematic disaster.
