The
picture is a releasing poster of the famous movie Singham. Iconically picture
represents the actor, Ajay Devgan and the uniform clearly states that he is a
police officer in the movie.
It
contains the protagonist, which by trailer we know is the Singham. But, in the
picture, three heads, in the fashion of National emblem, are presented. Being a
police officer, wearing a uniform, symbolically states that he stands for law,
order, and justice. Low camera angle is used to establish the character’s
authority. Even the source of the light is also from a lower angle, front side
and hence the shadowy lions of the national emblem symbolically presents the
shadow of the protagonist. He is wearing black goggles and the first button of
his shirt is open, which imply that though he stands for patriotism and moral
position, he would bend the rules to get justice. His character traits are
implied by these signs. Plus, the goggles and mustache add to the masculine
implications of the character.
The
background shadow of the national emblem of the three lions from Ashok Stambh
signifies the idea that the police officers stand for justice and victory of
the truth. The line Satyamev Jayate is not present but implied by such a
connection. The three lions stand for courage, intelligence and strength. In
the poster, the protagonist is also presented in the same way. The uniform
symbolically and the protagonist indexically stand for the truth.
The
background saffron shade is iconic to the color of lion, so is the name
Singham. The lion stands for courage and power. It signifies that the
protagonist and the police are courageous.
