Singam 2

Frist Half : The first half is interesting with comedy and action packed scenes. But this portion is quite lengthy. Other than than Hansika's portion, Santhanam's comedy were all entertaining.. No need to say about Suriya.. he is at his usual best.. Charming , powerful and natural..

Second Half: The twist at the interval sets your mood to enjoy the thriller. The movie goes at a fast pace when compared to the first half. Some action packed performances such as the rain fight and Suriya taking over as Deputy Superintendent of Police are all superb and power packed. Though climax is much predictable, the action packed performance of Suriya and others make it a worthy film to watch.

Performances: Suriya - As usual, Suriya excels in his role and he has delivered a brilliant performance.dialogue delivery, eye expressions, body language and live energy has redefined screen presence! What a show! The biggest challenge of doing an action packed 'mass' role is not to over do it and he pulls it off with ease. Singam 2 is all his show and he rocks in action, dance, comedy and romantic scenes. His dialogue delivery is natural. Acting is more matured in Singam 2 compared to its prequel. His dance performance in "Singam dance" is remarkable.

Anushka and Hansika: Anushka seems to have less scope for her role, though in second half she does her role perfectly.She has done justice to the given opportunity. Her chemistry with Surya is sure to rock you again. Hansika is effective and her role is meaningful and integral to the plot. She has also done justice to her role.

Santhanam and Vivek: Santhanam is an enjoyable and his sequences livens up the proceedings. The Viswaroopam Kamal sequence or the Kadhal Vandhale scene, He makes us ask for more of him in the film. Vivek hasn't got much scope compared to the prequel.

Villains:

Mukesh Hari and Rahman as the key antagonists , deliver it neatly. Danny Sapani, the London based artist as the international drug dealer is fearsome initially but tapers down towards the end. He could have been much better

Music: Kanukullae and Singam dance are the highlights of the movie. nice to watch in big screen..

VERDICT :

Singam 2 is a typical Hari style movie, which is routine, long and racy. The director has forced too much content, which demands more characters and time. But he has made it watchable and enjoyable action entertainer. Singam 2 is not as good as its prequel, but is definitely a good movie. This movie will come as a relief for Suriya after Maatraan. Thanks to Hari. Watch it for Suriya's Superb performance and some power packed action scenes

Rating- 3/5

As usual Hari's racy screenplay and Surya's energetic performance are the main highlights of this movie.Female leading character, Anushka has been ignored in this film. Hansika had made her part good. The songs seems to be worse. Santhanam and Vivek excelled in humor part. A little bit slow moving screenplay could've made this movie more interesting.Even though story is predictable doesn't makes viewers get bored. But overall these movies Singam 1 and Singam 2 are made marvelous by SURYA. Watch the film for SURYA. BGM and Songs : 3/10. Cinematography : 6/10. Story Screenplay Direction : 8/10. and finally SURYA's performance : 10/10. Finally a worth watch movie.

From the beginning till the end singam2 is an all in all action entertainer, Surya's acting & screen presence boosts the screenplay of the movie.Though Danny sapani does a fair enough job a villain like Prakash raj is missed.Addition of Santhanam to the cast provides better hilarious scenes & hansika motwani does a brilliant job to her role, i don't think anyone else could have done a better job.Songs are visually good and they fit perfectly in the movie as there as no unwanted songs at unwanted situations. Director Hari should be appreciated for not repeating the mistakes which he committed in singam1. Overall singam2 is a perfect sequel for a perfect entertainer !! don't miss it !!

Singam 2 (2013) Review:

This film is definitely a bigger sequel but if you analyze the concept of class vs mass in this film the later takes over. The mass part takes over at the cost logic and class. What do you expect from a 100% raw commercial movie? If your answer is a movie with some repeated nonstop heroic action packed stunts rather than some reasonable screen play, story and stuff. Get in for one and only Surya who is bagging the entire movie with his fierce looks and eyes popping out of anger to finish his enemies trio.

Coming to the casting of course Surya sweeps it all. About lead heroines of the movie, Anushka had nothing but few songs and scenes, Hansika had some role but she hardly fits to the role as a school student in Thuthukudi. The movie also had plenty of other known faces but none had much contributory screen space to show case their role properly.

Coming to the technical parts of the movie, direction and cinematography was so average. Music got so repeating tunes from the first flick. It was so annoying and irritating to look at the amateur level of graphics in the movie in many places.

The story started from what they left in the last movie. But I guess from the last scene of the first movie it was very implicit that Anushka and Surya got married and they were on the way to Thuthkudi where I remember Anushka was with her newly married style of makeup. But totally this was the other way around in this movie like they didn't get married and so on.

But if you are a die-hard fan of Surya and wanted only hero kicking and fighting the villains get in for this movie and enjoy.

Verdict: Singam 2 total Surya mass and nothing else.

The movie is a 100% mass entertainer so don't expect any artistic quotient/ logic in it. All lead actors performed well to this mass and racy script. Santhanam and Vivek nailed every comedy scene . Its uncommon to find them in a single movie. If you ignore the hype of the Duraisingam character then you may blame the director for predictability in screenplay which is a demerit. Still IMO, it is one action-packed mass movie that couldn't get better and enjoyed every scene. If you are a fan of movies like Dhool and Ghilli, then I'd recommend this movie. My favorite scene is the one that starts 5 minutes before the interval and spans 5 minutes after it.
