Movie – Singam
Director – Hari
Cast – Suriya, Anushka, Prakashraj and others

Plot synopsis:

This is the 3rd film in the Suriya – Hari combination and I had an expectation that this film would be good and both did not disappoint. This action movie is about Duraisingam, who is an honest and bold cop and is loved and revered by his village people. The story starts to up pace from the time Prakashraj enters the scene. He is a ruthless person who extracts money from builders and land owners threatening them that work will not progress if cash is not paid to him, but there is much more to Prakashraj and his henchmen which gets revealed in the latter part of the film..

The encounter between Prakashraj and Suriya takes place when Prakashraj is ordered by court to sign in Nallore Polices Station (Suriya’s village) for 15 days. Prakashraj does not appear directly and asked another person to sign in his place in Nallore, but Suriya finds this out and immediately makes Prakashraj comes to his village. Prakashraj comes all fired up and threatens Suriya, and at this instance the village people gather in support for Suriya and break the glass of Prakashraj and their henchmen and also threaten Prakashraj, to which Prakashraj is in total shock.
Singam
This is one of the most interesting scenes in the first half apart from Anushka’s freshness.

Prakashraj after being humiliated by Suriya, transfers Suriya to Thiruvanmiyur as Inspector, where he makes Suriya suffer to the point where he wants to return to his hometown. Anushka brainwashes him at this time and coerces him to take up on himself to rid the city of Prakashraj. The screenplay in the second half travels at a breakneck speed. The body language of Suriya is exceptional and he looks the part. The comedy by Vivek is not much to talk about as I personally feel he has lost his edge in this film completely and the background song just irritates you every time you hear it.

The veterans Vijay Kumar, Nasser, Radharavi and Manorama have done their part well. Especially Radharavi has got a good role, that of Suriya’s father and he has made full use of the opportunity. The songs in this film by Devi Sri Prasad are hummable, especially songs sung by Baba Sehgal and Shaan. Overall this film is a hat trick success by Suriya Hari combo, and the director has also given a hint that there could be a sequel to this film.
