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.
