Singam 2 Review


Story

The story takes off with the clippings of Singam from where it ended. Duraisingam (Surya) joins as NCC school teacher in Thoothukudi following the orders of Minister working as undercover agent. He tracks the illegal activities of criminal networks and gets to know the smuggling activities of Bhai (Mukesh Rishi). He takes charge as DSP once he gets the needed evidences and in this regard he comes across international drug dealer Danny? How does he trap him and bashes up the baddies forms the rest of the story.

Performances

Suriya carries the film on his shoulders and he brings out the required body language and needed energy for his powerful role as a cop. He is a charmer and conveys much through eye expressions and shows his terrific screen presence. He lives up to the expectations bringing intensity to his character.

Hansika delivers a decent performance and her role in the film connects to the main plot. Anushka is glamorous but shares screen space just for the songs.

Vivek and Santham entertains in their hilarious roles, Vijay Kumar bags good role as minister, Rahman, Mukesh Rishi and Danny delivers what is required.

Technical Analysis

Priyan’s cinematography is on top rate capturing the beautiful Tuticorin and the South African locales. The songs have been shot well, though DSP tunes are mediocre except from the soothing ‘Puriyavillai’ number. Background score is not so impressive. V.T Vijayan and Jay’s editing could have been better. Screenplay is racy though predictable.

Analysis

Director Hari has planned to make Singam 2 as racy as possible and incorporate loads of commercial elements. But it has turned overdose in the second half of the film. Despite weaving it with racy and taut screenplay, overdose of action and too many negative characters, it turns repetitive. The lighter scenes are more enjoyable than the loud and numerous action sequences.

Vivek and Santhanam provides some relief to this non-stop action entertainer. Santhanam makes it entertaining in the scenes like Kamal’s Viswaroopam, Gangnam dance moves,, Arabian Kudirai episode.

The initial scenes of first half drag on but the story picks up pace when Suriya takes charge as DSP and the interval is quite good while the second half has more racy screenplay. Climax is yet another downer.

Predictability plays a spoilsport to this commercial mass entertainer though the proceedings are racy.
