MUMBAI: Over the years, Bollywood has been trying its hand at several themes, and the audience did welcome it wholeheartedly. But a cop as a protagonist theme was relatively new to explore in Indian cinema until Rohit Shetty come up with his cop universe. Until then, Bollywood movies had witnessed central characters in uniforms. However, the story revolved around a social drama instead of focussing on the cop theme. But the scenario changed when Rohit Shetty came with his first cop drama Singham starring Ajay Devgn in the lead.

The filmmaker had hit the right button in his cop drama with a police officer being the central character, with his drool-worthy swag, determination to win over evil, and high-octane action sequences. It was a cinematic treat for viewers who were in awe of the theme, story, and Rohit Shetty’s much talked about intense action scenes. While it all started with Ajay Devgn starrer Singham in 2011, we still can’t get enough of the cop drama theme. So as Singham clocks nine years of release, here’s why the Rohit Shetty directorial continues to be an entertaining watch 

Bollywood gets its first super cop

Ajay Devgn aka Bajirao Singham was seen as an honest police officer who was all about following the law and maintaining peace among the people. He was a no-nonsense cop and definitely not the one to mess with. With Singham, Bollywood got its first super cop who was here to restore the aam aadmi’s faith in the police system.

A perfect remake

Bollywood has witnessed a trend of remaking popular movies from the South Indian cinema. In fact, the year 2011 witnessed several remakes of South movies including Ready and Bodyguard. Interestingly, Singham also joined the league and ended up emerging a successful remake which took the box office by a storm. For the uninitiated, Singham was a remake of 2010 Tamil release Singam starring Suriya in the lead.

The Rohit Shetty effect

Rohit Shetty is known for getting the nuances of action right on point. After all, his movies are incomplete without flying cars, flying men, and boisterous action sequences. The action bonanza was a visual treat and which was jubilantly welcomed by the audience.
