Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again, the latest blockbuster in Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe, has set the box office on fire since its theatrical debut on November 1, 2024. With its action-packed sequences and a star-studded cast, fans are eagerly awaiting its transition to the digital realm. Recent reports suggest that the film may soon be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Singham Again features Ajay Devgn reprising his iconic role as Bajirao Singham. This fifth installment in Shetty’s Cop Universe not only brings back familiar faces but also introduces an ensemble cast, including Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor, and Jackie Shroff. As per financialexpress.com’s review by Eshita Bhargava, “By the interval, “Singham Again” had lost its way, becoming an unconvincing collage of misplaced patriotism, forced mythology, and absurd action. It had potential, but it was lost under too many weak layers.”
Singham Again on Which OTT Platform?
While an official announcement is still pending, reports from the Economic Times indicate that Amazon Prime Video has acquired the digital rights for Singham Again. Given the trend of rapid OTT releases in Bollywood, fans can anticipate streaming availability roughly two months after its theatrical release. This suggests a potential release window around late December 2024, allowing audiences to experience the film’s thrill from the comfort of their homes.
Box Office Success
Since its premiere, Singham Again has shattered box office records, reportedly earning over Rs 70 crore within just two days of its release, according to Sacnilk.com. The film’s timing—landing during the Diwali holiday—and its IMAX screenings have played pivotal roles in its box office triumph. As anticipation builds for its OTT debut, the movie’s impressive theatrical performance underscores its status as a major hit in Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe.
Evolution of the Franchise
Initially announced as Singham 3 in 2017, Singham Again underwent significant changes in title and storyline before its eventual release. Directed and written by Rohit Shetty, the film showcases a much-anticipated cameo by Salman Khan, reprising his role as DCP Chulbul Pandey from the Dabangg series, further intertwining the characters within the broader Cop Universe. Filming took place across iconic locations in India and Sri Lanka, with production wrapping up in September 2024 for its festive release.
