Singam

The movie was so excellent. Surya acted very nicely. Action scenes in the movie are superb. Songs and BGM in the movie are superb. The movie was so excellent.

Cop-stories seem to be order of the day. One-man army. One honest cop against the corruption and the evils in the society. It started with "Pokiri", "Dabbang" stamped it and now there are cop-stories are being churned out in plenty.

Just like "Dabbang", the plot is the "Ssssh" word. Its the format, presentation and punch which rules the roost and transports you into the 70's/

80's genre of film making where creative liberties were aptly justified when the audience taste-buds for poetic justice was satiated. The plot is wrapped with good performance from the protagonist and his nemesis, death-defying action sequences and romance with the lady thrown in as relief moments.

Surya:: This is the first Surya movie I have watched and must admit that he has a great screen-presence. His novel mouth-ache adds to the cop character.

Anushka:: Gets a few songs to shake her body and weave a romantic track around the plot.

Prakashraj:: As usual he is himself, super-confident as ever. Ensures to hog the audience attention every time he appears on the screen.

Songs are good. Background score is engrossing. Action sequences as mentioned earlier has a punch, though a few places it seems to imitate Rajinikanth style. Comedy wasn't upto the mark, but passable. I watched the dubbed Telugu version namely "Yamudu" and the make-suit has been done well.

A very gud energetic and action packed movie from Surya. The film focuses on the wisdom, intelligence of bright police officers(exemplified as Surya) against cunning criminals. A touch of anti-corruption is present in this movie like most of the present movies. This film starts from Nallur(Tuticorin) and ends in Nellore(A.P). Surya(Dorai Singam) is very much energetic, serious,and audacious police inspector. The starting song is as usual a message song. Anushka(Kavya) is a homely girl in the same village, who falls in love with the daring Hero Singam because of his friendliness, good character and his courage. When small issues are going on in nallur, there comes the villain(Mayil Vahanam) Prakash Raj who is expert in kidnapping and doing all sorts of corruption in Chennai. When Surya threatens him, challenges him, and make him feel ashamed with the support of the village people, villain gets him transferred to his area to take care of him.Then how the hero and villain faces each other is the film. The climax is different from all other films. The film has a touch of the film Saamy. May be bcos of the same director. Romantic scenes are less, but the songs are very romantic. Hats off to Music Director DSP and Baba Sehgal.Kaadhal Vandhaale song ROCKS!!! Vivek's comedy scenes are not much hilarious. Altogether a great MASALA film! Special appreciation to Director Hari!

Suriya and Hari are reuniting for the third time in Singam which seems to be a usual action masala film with a massy Suriya. Suriya's film selections, since the past decade, work to his favor, and Singam looks like the perfect mass entertainer fitting to his star image. After Kaakha Kaakha, he is wearing the police uniform which fits him perfectly. Unlike the classy and stylish cop Anbuselvan that we loved in Kaakha Kaakha, he is playing a massy and larger-than-life cop Durai Singam. Well, Durai Singam is police who doesn't bend for any antagonists. Suriya is a superpower on screen and definitely, his ferocious appearance adds a lot of energy. He throws punch lines, beats the bad guys, and of course, speaks a lot of social messages. Suriya's convincing and intense performance is an interesting factor in Singam. After Suriya, it's Prakash Raj who rules the film. He might be the cliche villain in the film but his performance would be engaging in the film. He has few places where he wins over Suriya which increases the excitement of the film. Anushka who plays the female lead doesn't have much to do in the film but there are two scenes where her character has the proper justification to be in the film. One where she proposes to Suriya and the other where she motivates him to come back as ferocious as he was before. Singam is a typical mass entertainer which follows the same route as Hari's previous films. What's special with Singam is that Hari constantly adds the energy pumping mass scenes to keep the audience engaged. The film might be not so fresh but Hari's treatment in the writing part works in the film. It's true that the film glorifies Suriya's larger-than-life image and that his character in this film is not so interesting because his characterization is similar to the age-old perfect police officer that we had seen way back in Moondru Mugam. Unlike his previous films, we definitely miss that actor in Suriya because he doesn't have much scope to perform instead he is here only to entertain. Adding to this, Devi Sri Prasad scores well with his album and his background score adds so much energy to the film. Overall, Singam is an entertaining action film that lacks logic but works for its magic.
