Singam

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.

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.

Suriya's acting in the movie is awesome and enjoyed the movie. Good action and nice acting by all crew. Prakash Raj acting is just brilliant.

Singam is the man of right deeds and whole village will stand by him in case of any threat. He replicated the same at the new place he has been sent to and hence in the hour of need, everyone was standing by him.

The way he tackles Prakash is just awesome. One cop like Singam can change a lot in society. The movie shows that there are people in the system who want to do real good but are crushed by the wrong-doers is true and well known.

I vote the movie 10 out of 10. Good movie to watch. I watched even Hindi version of this movie, however it is not that good compared to Tamil.I hope right people take right inspiration from it!. The movie is an entertaining mix of reality and dramatization. The movie is not just another movie to me but based on a simple but strong theme which the movie rightly justifies.

I suggest all to watch the movie once, as it is worth.

This movie does not have a new story. Fights are also not new. The same village stuff. But the director has done the filming in such a way that these flaws are rarely seen. Many ppl are forgetting Surya is possibly the only actor to do both a classy (kk) and a mass (singam) cop story. This movie provides complete entertainment. One thing people should follow is that they should stop comparing mass movies. Mass entertainers follow a formula which is basically a logic-less formula. The main trump card in mass entertainers is the villain n the punch dialogues. So in short similarities are inevitable. So comparison is basically pointless. This movie is not for people who look out for art stuff in every movie. This gives you full value for your money if you like to be entertained. No unwanted sentiments. Descent punches. Prakash n Surya meetings are good.But there r few flaws. Comedy was not all that great. IN few scenes Surya was found to be shouting too much. So this movie is like going to a normal hotel and having hot tasty biriyani! You will enjoy it if u like biriyani!
