"Singham" is perhaps the strangest Bollywood action movie I've yet to see. It's very much in the vein of "Dabangg" and "Rowdy Rathore," with a khaki-clad, mustached cop kicking ass in the name of justice. But whereas those aforementioned movies built to a show-stopping finale where the bad guy and his goons got their violent comeuppance, "Singham" ends on an awfully downer note that seems to suggest the only way to fight widespread societal corruption is with more corruption.
While the film's many song-and-dance numbers hold up Singham's character as a paragon of virtue, by the time the credits roll our hero has had to compromise all of his values in order to stop the bad guys. What's worse is…

Ajan Devgn in the title role as a village policeman who takes over corrupt Goa and it’s leading don. Aimed at the single screen audience touting village virtues yet Singham settles all his cases by extra-legal means mostly involving flying bodies and cars. Very much a masala movie harkening back to the 1970’s with none of the social messages of that time.

Singham is what happens when Michael Bay directs a Bollywood flick. It's insane. Singham's theme song is ahhh-mahh-zing. The action is incredible, the drahmah and "comedy" is terrible, so, yeah. A Michael Bay flick.
