| Storyline Sub-Inspector Durai Singam lives a fairly wealthy lifestyle in Nallore along with his parents and a sister. He uses the powers vested in him wisely and well, and is, therefore, respected by everyone. He meets with and falls in love with Kavya Mahalingam but faces strong opposition from her Chennai-based businessman father, who does not approve of him. Before things could be sorted out, the High Court directs an influential gangster, Mayil Vaaganam, to report to Durai. The former initially refuses to attend, but relents and attempts to vainly use goon power to intimidate Durai and instead ends up humbled and humiliated. Upon the latter’s return to Chennai, he ensures Durai gets transferred there and prepares a plan to terrorize and humiliate not only Durai but also his friends and family with impunity.

Lot of expectations from Surya for his 25th film, well this movie has all the masala to complete silver jubilee. Storyline is good, screenplay is superb, this is one of the best movies of Surya till date. He is furious in the film & is expected from the director as the title itself says singam,pace of the movie is good. Anushka dazzles. Vivek is OK. Songs are catchy at times. Prakash Raj with his starry looks is amazing. The best scene of the movie is when Prakash Raj says to Surya that he can transfer Surya within minutes & that is what surya wants to happen so that Prakash Raj can accept his defeat. Overall its a good 2hrs 30 min entertainment.
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.
once again director hari and actor Surya given the movie that all mass elements added with a racing screenplay..
Surya as a cop did a very fantastic role..
anushka is so beautiful in the movie specially in song sequences.
prakashraj asusal performance is good..
devisri prasad music is treat for first benchers.
vivek comedy is good..
all technicians worked well for the movie.
overall its pure hari film.. with great acting by Surya..
deserves the best film for family entertaining movie of the year..
