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.

As usual Hari's racy screenplay and Surya's energetic performance are the main highlights of this movie.Female leading character, Anushka has been ignored in this film. Hansika had made her part good. The songs seems to be worse. Santhanam and Vivek excelled in humor part. A little bit slow moving screenplay could've made this movie more interesting.Even though story is predictable doesn't makes viewers get bored. But overall these movies Singam 1 and Singam 2 are made marvelous by SURYA. Watch the film for SURYA. BGM and Songs : 3/10. Cinematography : 6/10. Story Screenplay Direction : 8/10. and finally SURYA's performance : 10/10. Finally a worth watch movie.

From the word go, Singam 2 clearly establishes that it's fulcrum is only action and the quantity of romance, sentiment and comedy that occupied equal proportion in Singam is less here. The film opens up with an item number of Anjali with a vigilant Suriya who also keeps her company in waltz but conveys to the audience that he is a man on a different mission.Director Hari adheres to all his usual ingredients from music to method of action scenes to the cavalcade of four wheelers to the structuring of sequences. He is known to string the various elements of commercial cinema viz. romance, action, sentiment and music in an entertaining fashion and he does the same in Singam 2 too with a racier screenplay that gives a lot of scope for action.Suriya shoulders the film big time. The sincerity and dedication of this artist is something that needs to be lauded. Suriya with his dialogue delivery, eye expressions, body language and live energy has redefined screen presence! What a show! The biggest challenge of doing an action packed 'mass' role is not to over do it, as its a very delicate thin line to cross. Suriya in Singam 2 pulls it off with consummate ease.The actor brings in a majestic and a respectable color to the police attire and his dexterity over action sequences is remarkable. Dialogues like "appa amma solra pechai kekkaama vera yaar pechai keppanga" when mouthed by Suriya brings out the earnestness of the statement. The efforts the actor has put in to his dancing is also visible with the 'Singam dance'.The rain fight in front of Suriya's house, revved up by DSP's RR, Suriya taking charge as Deputy Superintendent of Police, Thoothukudi and Suriya making the first arrest of Danny are all power packed sequences.Hansika is effective and her role is meaningful and integral to the plot. Anushka is charming and has screen space in the second half. Santhanam is an enjoyable addition to Singam 2 and his sequences livens up the proceedings be it in the Arabian Kudirai episode, the Viswaroopam Kamal sequence or the Kadhal Vandhale scene. He makes us ask for more of him in the film.There is a long list of ensemble in Singam 2. Mukesh Hari and Rahman as the key antagonists supported by Naan Kadavul Rajendran deliver neatly. Danny Sapani, the London based artist as the international drug dealer is fearsome initially but tapers down towards the end. Sankarabaranam Vishwanath also makes a cameo. Music director Devi Sri Prasad soothes the audience with a melodious 'Puriyavillai' number. Rest of the tracks sound like an extension of the earlier enterprise. Kannukkule number suffers from wrong placement. Cinematographer Priyan neatly captures the Tuticorin and the South African soils and the car chase sequence in Durban has been done well. V.T Vijayan and Jay, the editor duo have worked in tandem with Hari to keep the proceedings pacy.The predictable nature of the plot and the climax could well be the downers of this otherwise well packed action entertainer.To sum it all, with Hari's racy screenplay and Suriya's terrific screen personality, Singam 2 strikes big time. Mass masala guaranteed ! Verdict: Watch it for Suriya. Screen presence redefined !

Frist Half : The first half is interesting with comedy and action packed scenes. But this portion is quite lengthy. Other than than Hansika's portion, Santhanam's comedy were all entertaining.. No need to say about Suriya.. he is at his usual best.. Charming , powerful and natural..Second Half: The twist at the interval sets your mood to enjoy the thriller. The movie goes at a fast pace when compared to the first half. Some action packed performances such as the rain fight and Suriya taking over as Deputy Superintendent of Police are all superb and power packed. Though climax is much predictable, the action packed performance of Suriya and others make it a worthy film to watch.Performances: Suriya - As usual, Suriya excels in his role and he has delivered a brilliant performance.dialogue delivery, eye expressions, body language and live energy has redefined screen presence! What a show! The biggest challenge of doing an action packed 'mass' role is not to over do it and he pulls it off with ease. Singam 2 is all his show and he rocks in action, dance, comedy and romantic scenes. His dialogue delivery is natural. Acting is more matured in Singam 2 compared to its prequel. His dance performance in "Singam dance" is remarkable.Anushka and Hansika: Anushka seems to have less scope for her role, though in second half she does her role perfectly.She has done justice to the given opportunity. Her chemistry with Surya is sure to rock you again. Hansika is effective and her role is meaningful and integral to the plot. She has also done justice to her role.Santhanam and Vivek: Santhanam is an enjoyable and his sequences livens up the proceedings. The Viswaroopam Kamal sequence or the Kadhal Vandhale scene, He makes us ask for more of him in the film. Vivek hasn't got much scope compared to the prequel.Villains:Mukesh Hari and Rahman as the key antagonists , deliver it neatly. Danny Sapani, the London based artist as the international drug dealer is fearsome initially but tapers down towards the end. He could have been much betterMusic: Kanukullae and Singam dance are the highlights of the movie. nice to watch in big screen..VERDICT :Singam 2 is a typical Hari style movie, which is routine, long and racy. The director has forced too much content, which demands more characters and time. But he has made it watchable and enjoyable action entertainer. Singam 2 is not as good as its prequel, but is definitely a good movie. This movie will come as a relief for Suriya after Maatraan. Thanks to Hari. Watch it for Suriya's Superb performance and some power packed action scenes Rating- 3/5
