A movie that created a lot of hype has lived truly up to its expectations. The movie is a cop story but the silver line in this film is the treatment given to an ordinary storyline and full credit to director Hari for the same. The pace of the movie is on full throttle right from the introduction fight of Surya till the end credits roll-over. Both Hari and Surya were under tremendous pressure to deliver a racy entertainer as their previous cop movies in “Saamy” and “Kaakha Kaakha” were absolute entertainers. Incidentally Singam (Lion) is Surya’s 25th film and to be honest he has selected an apt story under a talented director for his landmark film. Read More
The tagline of the movie spills the beans much before one gets to watch it fully. With a tagline that reads “Rent At Your Own Risk” effectively pulls down the suspense element of the story pretty prematurely. Jagmohan Mundhra who wanted to make an original thriller has finally not got more than a re-make of the hit flick “Single White Female”. The characterization is weak, the plot is even weak and the final outcome is just ordinary. When Tanushree Dutta and Neetu Chandra play pivotal roles in the film its a foregone conclusion that the former would be in the thick of things for her acting while the latter would be in for some skin show.
