Singham First Look: Trailor & Poster

While we're on angry (not so) young men, the first look trailor for Singham was out on pretty much the same day as the Ghayal Returns trailor.

On first glance, the key elements from the Dabangg theatrical trailor are to be found tough rustic cop, cop vehicles lined up in army rank fashion, rising sun, most importantly the larger than life savior of the people beating up the goondas that sweet Tamil pulp fiction would applaud. And of course, uptempo background score that only signals doom for those who dare to defy Singham. My favourite part of the promo: the end of it. Not being sarcastic, it is pretty neat when Singham kicks a villain already on the ground. Kicks him all the way to a police barricade with such brute force, that the metal barricade does a 360 degree turn to reveal the release date of the film.

Honestly, this is just a modified version of the Dabangg theatrical. But originality be damned, for the trailor is  being lapped up on YouTube with 106, 215 views even as we speak.

For those of you who are still interested, the first look is out in Bombay Times and HT Café as well.

 A simple one-sheet caricature which shows Ajay Devgan as Bajirao ‘Singham’ the cop comparable to a lion. He is shown as ferocious (and glum) with a caricature of a lion above his head albeit in softer shading. The colour scheme is brick-red with subtle hints of orange and a blingy brown title. Arrgghhh, no more Dabangg-ifying please !! (especially if the shades do not sport lit-up heart shapes in them)
