Singham Again first review out

Umair Sandhu seemed unimpressed by the third installment in the Singham franchise. Sharing his review on X, he said that it is an average fare with the director following a tried and tested formula. However, that does not work in its favour. "First Review #SinghamAgain: All that glitters is not gold. Only Action & Cameos then again Action & Cameos & then Action & Cameos in the Climax. #AjayDevgn Character is neglected by all Cameos lol. An Average Fare for Masses. Childish kind of Story & Dialogues," he wrote on X.

Is Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 worth the hype? First review out

Umair Sanshu watched Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 at a censor screening and shared his review of the film on X. He seemed disappointed by Kartik's performance but was impressed by the duo of Madhuri and Vidya, which he called "paisa vasool". His overall verdict of the film was average. "#BhoolBhulaiyaa 3 itself is a forced film. There isn't anything new in the premise to explore and that too with the same main lead.#VidyaBalan & #MadhuriDixit Combo only Paisa Vasool. #KartikAaryan is so irritating. He is the Worst Choice for series. Average (sic)," he shared on X.
