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.

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.
