Singham
Singham is a 2011 Indian Hindi-language action film directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Reliance Entertainment, based on a script by writers Yunus Sajawal and Farhad-Sajid. It serves as the first installment of Shetty's Cop Universe. A remake of the 2010 Tamil film Singam by Hari, the film stars Ajay Devgn in the lead role as a police officer named Bajirao Singham alongside Kajal Aggarwal and Prakash Raj, who reprises his role from the original film.
Singham marked Devgn's and Shetty's return to the action genre after several years. It was theatrically released in India on 22 July 2011 with generally positive reviews from the critics towards praise for action-emotional drama, dialogues and homage to 70s masala films. It opened with strong box office response; the film earned ₹876 million in India on the first day and a worldwide total of ₹1.41 billion against a ₹410 million budget, becoming a box-office blockbuster.
Singham gained a cult film status over the years, particularly for Devgn's portrayal of Bajirao. After the film's success at the box office, Devgn and Shetty collaborated for the sequel Singham Returns (2014) and Singham Again (2024). Devgn reprised his role in Shetty's directorials of Simmba (2018) and Sooryavanshi (2021), which together form Shetty's Cop Universe.
Inspector Rakesh Kadam, an honest officer, is falsely accused of corruption by Jaikant Shikre, a powerful crime boss, politician, and businessman running illegal rackets in Goa. Unable to bear the disgrace, Kadam commits suicide. His widow, Megha, vows revenge, declaring that justice will prevail.
The story shifts to Shivgad, a village near the Goa-Maharashtra border, where Bajirao Singham, an upright police officer, commands the local station. Respected for his informal yet effective problem-solving methods, Singham wins the villagers' admiration. His father Manikrao's childhood friend, industrialist Gautam Bhosle, visits Shivgad with his family, including his daughter Kavya. A series of comedic incidents lead to Kavya falling in love with Singham, admiring his integrity and simplicity.
Jaikant, out on conditional bail for murder, is required to report to Shivgad but sends a proxy. Enraged, Singham demands Jaikant sign in person. Humiliated by Singham in front of the villagers, Jaikant uses his influence to transfer Singham to Goa, where he begins a campaign of harassment. In Goa, Singham discovers the extent of Jaikant's criminal empire, supported by corrupt officials like DSP Satyam Patkar, who is his senior. Despite attempts to intimidate him, Singham wants to go back to his village but gets stopped by Kavya who encourages him to fight against Jaikant and stop his crime network. Being mentally tortured, Singham starts dismantling Jaikant's operations by arresting his henchman, Shiva, on trumped-up charges. Shiva's arrest reveals Jaikant's involvement in Kadam's downfall. Jaikant escalates the conflict by kidnapping Kavya's sister Anjali but is thwarted by Singham, who rescues her. Jaikant's political party wins the election, and he becomes a minister, further complicating matters. He issues transfer orders for Singham, forcing him to leave Goa.
At a police function, Singham accuses his colleagues of betraying their duty by protecting Jaikant. His words inspire them to join his fight. With the support of the entire Goa Police Force, including Patkar, who has a change of heart, Singham leads a raid on Jaikant's residence. Jaikant is captured after a dramatic chase and is executed by the officers in a staged encounter, seated in Kadam's chair. The team exposes Jaikant's crimes, clears Kadam's name, and restores Megha's dignity. The film concludes with Singham and his colleagues saluting Megha, symbolizing the triumph of justice and integrity.
After the success of the Tamil film Singam, directed by Hari in 2010, the film's remake rights were sold by the producers for Hindi and Kannada versions. The co-producers of the Tamil version, Reliance Big Pictures purchased the Hindi remake rights and announced in November 2010 that the version would feature Rohit Shetty as director and Ajay Devgn in the lead role.
