Movie Singham! Loving the Honest Super Cop!

Honest cops, almost an extinct species, are always common peoples’ hot favorites, because they are immensely capable of doing immense good to common people despite the ‘system’. Real life honest police officers are adored as heroes and reel life heroes portraying honest cops are worshiped all around. Particularly at a time when fight against corruption is at an all time high in India you will rejoice seeing your hero cop exterminating corruption with the power of a lion (Singham) punch.

Remake of the original 2010 Tamil film of the same title, Singham in Hindi has become a super duper hit. It is directed by Rohit Shetty of new Golmaal trilogy fame (check old Gol Maal), produced by Reliance Entertainment and starred by Ajay Devgan in the lead role of Bajirao Singham-the honest super cop. The film is a real power-punch with high voltage action, powerful dialogues and high intensity performances. The plot may have structural weaknesses and logical flaws, but its strength lies in the enactment bringing back the Bollywood action genre with a bang. The movie is a bundle of good intentions, positive energy and clean entertainment. A few hilarious scenes also highlight Rohit’s mastery over comedy. Powerhouse performance by Ajay Devgan and evil incarnated in Prakash Raj’s role as the antagonist.

The movie rekindles memories of a few very good cop movies portraying honest efficient police officers like Zanzeer of the early seventies, Hukumat of the late eighties staging a comeback for Dharmendra and relatively recent movies like Sarfarosh (Aamir Khan as the honest cop), Shool (Manoj Bajpai) and Gangajal (Ajay Devgan). All these films were huge hits blessed by the masses. We also remember character actors like Balraj Sahni and Iftekar in various memorable honest cop roles.

The climax of Singham is pure utopia. Your dream-come-true kind of a situation which is bound to wipe out evil and corruption from the face of India if realized in reality. No harm wishing all that. It’s only good that can inspire cowardly souls.

Let the Honest Super Cop rule India. With the unbelievable power of a punching lion. India needs it desperately.

The VIP Brat: A Study in Contrast!

Here we’re talking about only two compartments inside a particular AC 2-Tier coach in a particular daily train under the Indian Railways that departs a particular originating station at around noontime and reaches the destination city early morning the next day. The train is popular because it is superfast and always on time. That fateful noon too, the train was ready for boarding about one hour before departure. We cut to the inside of that particular coach having those two compartments for our contrasting study. Two elderly couples were in a state of considerable distress. One of them, both technically senior citizens, had been allotted two upper berths and the husband was at his wits end how to proceed, because his wife was being taken for check-up after surgeries in both of her knees—she could hardly walk and her climbing up the berth was a sheer impossibility. The husband was also on the wrong side of the sixties, but he thought he could manage the climbing once he managed a ...

Mitali: The Trauma of Losing a Sibling

Maybe I lied to her when I used to reassure her that she was going to be alright and was going to resume her life in some measure of normalcy in the future years; maybe all my gestures/expressions were false when I used to run my fingers across her forehead or embrace her on occasions when she was able to move around a bit; and maybe all my exhibitions of love care and responsibility were exposed as superficial when I failed to turn up in Delhi where she along with my mother were treated during September-October, 2022 (my mother Urmila Chakravarty was also diagnosed with dental cancer the same month the same year as she was) and when all the members of my parental family and the in-laws converged. Since that fateful day in August, 2022 when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer to that disastrous day of March 6, 2025—the day my younger blood sister Mitali (Mainu) Chakravarty Sarma (November 2, 1963—March 6, 2025) passed away in the wee hours in a hospital in Guwahati after giving a bra...
