Singam 2 (2013)

Singam 2 (2013) Review:

This film is definitely a bigger sequel but if you analyze the concept of class vs mass in this film the later takes over. The mass part takes over at the cost logic and class. What do you expect from a 100% raw commercial movie? If your answer is a movie with some repeated nonstop heroic action packed stunts rather than some reasonable screen play, story and stuff. Get in for one and only Surya who is bagging the entire movie with his fierce looks and eyes popping out of anger to finish his enemies trio.

Coming to the casting of course Surya sweeps it all. About lead heroines of the movie, Anushka had nothing but few songs and scenes, Hansika had some role but she hardly fits to the role as a school student in Thuthukudi. The movie also had plenty of other known faces but none had much contributory screen space to show case their role properly.

Coming to the technical parts of the movie, direction and cinematography was so average. Music got so repeating tunes from the first flick. It was so annoying and irritating to look at the amateur level of graphics in the movie in many places.

The story started from what they left in the last movie. But I guess from the last scene of the first movie it was very implicit that Anushka and Surya got married and they were on the way to Thuthkudi where I remember Anushka was with her newly married style of makeup. But totally this was the other way around in this movie like they didn't get married and so on.

But if you are a die-hard fan of Surya and wanted only hero kicking and fighting the villains get in for this movie and enjoy.

Verdict: Singam 2 total Surya mass and nothing else.

Fmovies: Surya has done extremely well as usual. You can believe in Hari's screenplay, although it is old as the earth. Screenplay has got good pace but sometimes you might be wondering about some logic. When i was in the theater, i felt like they were showing in 16x forward speed. I thought they gave no time to think about any logic so that cameras have been swung all over 360°. In commercial films like this no director can stop thinking about killing lead role especially when you have two actress in the movie. I must say about music DSP thinks he is a rock star. But he is not. Surya's most disappointed movie in terms of music. Final verdict: 6 out of 10. Go have some fun if you have no other job.

Iam so wonder how they saying this movie as excellent,Marvellous.Is there anything logical sequences in the movie,more than 30 actors acted in the movie no one got good character,every one is faded each and every scene,only Surya covered the whole movie for his sake.When coming to story nothing much to offer as usual same Masala.In first part Anushka got married with Duraisingam but later in second part they showing her as unmarried due to some reasons.How they recognizing this scenes.Lot of noises and too much fast forwarding editing,eyes are really paining.Second half oh god can't able to sit in Theatre,songs are very bad nd as well as irritating background music from Dsp,Hari must know to present the script well,a poor attempt by his team,Danny Sapani a good villain in Hollywood wasted in this movie,he can been seen in three scene only,there is no scope for comedy superstar Santhanam and Vivek.Hansika and Anushka does a cameo in the movie.If there is 50 scenes in movie,maximum 40 scenes covered by Surya itself,always shouting and jumping six feet to beat the baddies.

Singam 2 fmovies. Singam 2 is a kick ass action Mass Masala film of typical Hari style with all the necessary ingredients...he has crafted this film with all those things that a Hari film has...except for the songs all other things are good...Santhanam impresses yet again...Vivek hasn't got much to do...jaw dropping stunts by Anal Arasu...and some top notch camera work by DOP Priyan!...coming to the heroines...Hansika is a surprise package with Anushka reprising her 'Glam Doll' role...all the other supporting cast are OK...Danny Sapani,Mukesh Rishi and Rahman do their part well...'Singam Dance' is nicely choreographed...finally coming to direction...Hari is the king in Mass Masala movies...he has proved that yet again with a good screenplay and extracting a terrific performance from Surya!

Duraisingam, the much-loved character of the 2010 blockbuster, Singam, starring Suriya, is back and he triumphantly returns with his family and friends for a second round of entertainment and applause.

The enthusiasm with which he is received is evident from loud screams, shrill whistles and thunderous clapping in packed theaters.

Director Hari Gopalakrishnan has dared to make a sequel of the hugely successful Singam, a proposition that is not only a rarity in Tamil cinema, but has also proved to be extremely risky in the past. Sequels do have a tendency to fail but Singam 2 obviously doesn't fall in that category.

The director has retained most of the original cast -- Suriya, Anushka Shetty, Vivek, Radha Ravi, Vijayakumar, Nassar and Nizhalgal Ravi -- and made some new additions -- the glamorous Hansika Motwani, comedy superstar Santhanam, and British actor Danny Sapani. Actress Anjali has been roped in for an item number. Prakash Raj, from the original cast, has been dropped.

Cinematographer Priyan wields the camera and the editing has been handled by VT Vijayan.

Singam 2 opens with a recap of its prequel, thus aptly setting the mood. Singam ends with Duraisingam (Suriya) accepting a new mission from the Home Minister (Vijayakumar). Though duly appointed as the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Tuticorin, Duraisingam is working undercover as an NCC commander, who is in charge of uncovering a smuggling racket that has been dangerously spreading along the coast of Tamil Nadu.

Satya (Hansika Motwani) is a student in the same school and has a huge crush on Duraisingam. As the story unfolds, we learn why Duraisingam does not marry Kavya (Anushka Shetty) as expected. Not knowing that Duraisingam is an undercover, his father (Radha Ravi) stops talking to him and refuses to let him marry Kavya.

The chief of the smuggling ring is a huge dangerous looking African Danny (Danny Sapani) and he supplies illegal drugs to two local smugglers in Tuticorin, Bhai (Mukesh Rishi) and Thangarasu (Rahman), who incidentally happens to be Satya's uncle.

Meanwhile, Duraisingam continues with his underground surveillance operations to collect enough evidence against these drug lords. The rest of the story is about how the lion vanquishes its enemies.

Vivek, as sub-inspector Erimalai, has been sidelined in favor of Santhanam, who has his own comedy track. Santhanam shows us why he is such a crowd puller with his brilliant one-liners and incredible comic timing.

Hansika is the surprise element in Singam 2. Her avatar as a student is so deglamorised that you barely recognize her.

Anushka does not have much to do in the film.

In fact it is just Surya and only Surya all the way. Suriya's makeover with a stylish mustache was much appreciated in Singam and he continues to look handsome in Singam 2.

Predictably, the film has a lot of power-packed action sequences and the story races along with a tremendous pace keeping you engaged throughout. In spite of the number of characters in the film, the screenplay is extremely clear cut, with every role outlined beautifully.

The only negative would be the length -- the movie runs for almost three hours. A slightly shorter version would have created a greater impact.

Devi Sri Prasad (DSP) who had earlier composed the music for the original film returns here. Though not extraordinary, all the tracks are lively, peppy, and foot-tapping numbers. DSP manages to keep up with the

From the beginning till the end singam2 is an all in all action entertainer, Surya's acting & screen presence boosts the screenplay of the movie.Though Danny sapani does a fair enough job a villain like Prakash raj is missed.Addition of Santhanam to the cast provides better hilarious scenes & hansika motwani does a brilliant job to her role, i don't think anyone else could have done a better job.Songs are visually good and they fit perfectly in the movie as there as no unwanted songs at unwanted situations. Director Hari should be appreciated for not repeating the mistakes which he committed in singam1. Overall singam2 is a perfect sequel for a perfect entertainer !! don't miss it !!
