Cinema மினிமா's Movie Review on 'Singam-2'

Cast: Surya, Santhanam, Vivek, Anushka, Hansika Motwani
Cinematography: Priyan
Editing: V.T.Vijayan
Music: Devi Sri Prasad
Written and Directed by: Hari

The team that roared during the success of 'Singam' comes back again in its sequel 'Singam-2', where Surya and Director Hari join their Hands for the fourth time. This has certainly created much anticipation and lots of expectation over this movie. Does the movie live upto its expectations??

Durai Singam is back into action of destroying the sea smuglers. Surya as Durai Singam has cameback with double energy and double action than what he showed in 'Singam'. The same cast in 'Singam' [Vivek, Anushka, Radha Ravi, Nasser] repeats in 'Singam-2' with the addition of Santhanam, Rahman and two other villains. Anushka is just used for her Skinny dance and Hansika plays a short and sweet role. [இத்தன பேர் இந்த படத்துல தேவையா Director Hari அவர்களே???]

Vivek and Santhanam puts up much effort in making the audience engaged with the movie. Their comedies are so enjoyable. Surya, Vivek and Santhanam are the backbone of this film. Villains Mukesh Rishi and the African Guy are needless extra additions to the film. [Surya சார்.. நீங்க Backboneங்கிறதால படம் முழுக்க backdropla கத்திகிட்டேவா இருப்பீங்க???]

The songs are too bad to hear so as the Background Music. Devi Sri Prasad just makes the BGM that is loved by Andhra Fans. Tamil Cine Fans really hate this loud BGM. [சார் உங்க கைல DRUMS  இருக்குங்கறதால இவ்ளோ sound ah அடிச்சு காத கிழிப்பீங்களா??]

First half of the movie was quite good to watch. But the second half was watching a movie in fast forward action. Seeing the movie, what I thought was, Director hari has prepared a lengthy script and has tried to fit them all into 168 minutes, which has ended up making the screenplay much faster and unfinished. This reflects in cinematography and editing too. The top angles shots and close up shots all go in vain due to the fast paced screenplay and editing. Cinematographer Priyan and Editor V.T.Vijayan's work goes in vain. Few stunts are unbelievable and are out of trend too. [இன்னும் எத்தன நாள் தான் கயிறு கட்டியே பறந்து பறந்து அடிப்பீங்க??]

There are lots of unanswered questions in the movie:
--> How can a Indian cop arrest and bring back a criminal of South Africa in South Africa even after the mission gets cancelled?
--> What happened to Rahman atlast?
--> It was pretty much clear in First part of singam that Anushka and surya got married at the end. But how come they show Surya and Anushka didnt get married in 'Singam 2'??

Positives:
--> Surya
--> Santhanam
--> Vivek

Negatives:
--> Screenplay with over dosage
--> Loud BGM
--> Lengthy Script

Though Singam-2 has got ingredients to serve a great treat to the audience, the over dosage of screenplay has made the movie to fail in giving the magic that which 'Singam' did in 2010. திறமையான நடிகர்கள், அட்டகாசமான கதை, பட்டய கிளப்பும் திரை வல்லுனர்கள் என அத்தனை அம்சங்கள் இருந்தும் திரைக்கதை கந்தலாகிப் போனதால் சிங்கத்தின் உறுமல் ரசிகர்களின் குமுறலாகவும் கதறலாகும் மாறியது..

RATING - 5.5 / 10 [Restricted to Surya Fans alone]
