The trailer for Singham Again has dropped, and while fans were gearing up for a blockbuster, it seems like Deepika Padukone’s performance has left a few eyebrows raised—and not in a good way! Instead of the fierce Lady Singham we expected, viewers got a taste of something more like a caricature.
Right off the bat, Deepika’s portrayal appears to have missed the mark. Some fans couldn’t help but compare her to her previous role as Meenamma in Chennai Express, with comments like, “Is she back to her Tamil thangabali accent?” Ouch! It’s as if she brought her old bag of tricks but forgot the spark. The result? A lot of cringe-worthy moments that left fans scratching their heads.
The internet had a field day with this one. Social media lit up with reactions ranging from playful jabs to full-blown critiques. “Deepika ka action?” someone chuckled, followed by a laughing emoji, as if they were watching a comedy skit rather than an action-packed thriller. Another user chimed in, “CRINGE Pro Max!!”—a title that’s not likely to make it onto her résumé anytime soon.
Jokes were made about her “buy one get one free” deal with Tiger Shroff, implying that the duo might just be two peas in a pod of mediocrity. And then there was the classic: “Never thought after seeing Arjun Kapoor and Tiger in the cast, someone could act worse than him. But congratulations to Deepika!” Oof, that one stings.
But wait, there’s more! The performance was so jarring that some viewers wondered if they’d accidentally tuned into a parody rather than a serious action film. Comments like, “Deepika looks miscasted” and “her dialogue delivery was absolute cringe” started rolling in, almost like clockwork.
As the trailer runs its course, audiences are left with one burning question: Did Deepika’s performance put the “ding” in Singham? It’s hard to say, but fans are definitely hoping for a redemption arc when the film hits theaters.
Singham Again is set to release on Diwali, and while the film boasts an impressive lineup of stars, Deepika's role has certainly become a talking point. Will she win over fans when it finally premieres? For now, the trailer has certainly provided some entertaining—if not bewildering—moments. Here’s hoping for a more impressive showing on the big screen!
