The last hurrah of the summer vacations
is here. During the last weekend of the
two-month long celebration for school students,
comes Suriya’s twenty-fifth film,
Singam arrives. Well, there has been a buzz
around this film ever since it was announced
a few months back. The obvious reason for
that being the star cast of the film. Suriya’s
red hot run at the box office has made each
of his films enter theaters with more and
more expectations tagged to them each time
round. Add to that the fact that the film
is being directed by Hari, the rural action
specialist, Singam automatically became
one of the biggest draws of the summer.
So, what is Singam all about? Anyone who
has watched TV over the past one week will
have a fair idea of what to expect from
the movie. Suriya appearing as a cop for
the first time since Kaakka Kaakka is the
USP of Singam. Everyone will be eager to
see whether Suriya is able to reprise the
same glory that he garnered with the portrayal
of Anbuchelvan, IPS. This time round, he
will be playing Duraisingam. And, from the
look of it, Duraisingam |

will be a totally different cop from Anbuchelvan. If
Anbuchelvan was the quiet, but lethal cop who
believed more in getting the job done rather than talking
too much, Duraisingam seems to be the daringly outspoken
type who lets his adversaries know what they are up
against. There have been a few parallels drawn against
Duraisingam and the unforgettable Aarusamy, played by
Vikram in Saamy.
Hari’s penchant for action is well known. All
his films basically belong to the action genre and he
has surprisingly delivered good products each time without
deviating too much from a path that has become a bit
predictable. Only his last film, Seval, was a bit of
a disappointment and he will be looking forward to erase
those memories by delivering a huge hit in Singam. And,
may it be third time lucky for the Hari-Suriya combination.
It is not that their two earlier films, Aaru and Vel
have done badly at the box office. But, this pair is
still waiting for their first big hit.
On the other aspects of the film, Vivek makes an appearance
in a Hari film for the first time since Saamy, where
he had rocked. It has been surprising that Hari took
such a long time getting back to Vivek, but he has kept
delivering some good comedy with Vadivelu in all his
films. The comedy track of Singam will be even more
hilarious than that of Saamy, claimed Vivek during the
audio launch. Let’s wait and see. Anushka is one
of the big draws of Singam. Her presence in Kollywood
seems to be growing by the day. One big project after
the other has been following her and let’s see
where Singam takes her.
Devi Sri Prasad’s music has hit the right note
with the audiences and Sun Pictures has taken care that
everyone in Tamil Nadu knows about the film. The promos
at first did create quite a flutter with Suriya uttering
one of the loudest and most bombastic dialogues of his
career. And, there also seems to be plenty of high adrenalin
action. Come Friday, the Singam will roar. |
