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.

, are in the payroll of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). There has been a nagging doubt in my mind about the integrity of the cricket commentators in what they say and utter. Hardly anyone you could find among them who speaks or spoke about the policy and wrongdoing of the BCCI. They all sang all the time in praise of the Indian Premier League (IPL), main money spinning spearhead of BCCI, and never even mentioned about it when discussing the phenomenon of ‘too much cricket-no rest’ for Team India. Why only two of them? Most of them are fed and enriched by the richest cricket board of the world. If our beloved legendary cricketer Gavaskar says IPL is healthy wealthy and wise, what can we lesser mortals do but to flock on to the three-hour shows! That’s the crux of business, you see! 
In the overseas fast pitches you need technically sound proficient players who have to be test players only. Dravid was made an icon for the IPL tournament which was done clearly for money. And, he was dropped from limited overs national team, that was too done for money only. In the Indian flat fours-sixes pitches the unorthodox and technically less proficient or even faulty cricketers can deliver more eye-thundering shots. Poor Dravid has no option but to retire from limited overs matches after the England tour, because he knows that he will be dropped again in the near future.
