Simmba movie review: With whistle-worthy action sequences and explosive dialogues, Ranveer Singh-Rohit Shetty's year-end treat will make you wish they had collaborated sooner
We have come to associate directors with their signature style of filmmaking. Karan Johar is known for his larger-than-life themes, Sanjay Leela Bhansali delivers opulent dramas, Imtiaz Ali has the pulse on modern romances and Aanand L Rai is the master of telling the most ordinary stories, extraordinarily. Similarly Rohit Shetty is known for entertainers, with a lot of action and comedy thrown in the mix. What's interesting this time around is that he has company in Ranveer Singh, who personifies entertainment. The film sounds promising right from the word go. So it is with great excitement that I go for a press screening of the film and here's what I thought of it...
Anyone who has watched The Lion King, would first think of the cute little lion cub from the film when thinking of Simmba. Not anymore. Ranveer Singh is here to steal the name and also the roar. Simmba provides complete bang for your buck. But it will also make you rue all the years Rohit Shetty and Ranveer Singh have wasted without collaborating. And it will make you wish they come together again and soon. Simmba will ensure you end the year on a high. Watch it with your family and ideally in a single-screen theatre for the complete experience.
