Singam3’ an entertainer that Surya’s fans will love
By Mythily Ramachandran
Durai Singam, the Sub-Inspector from Thoothukudi (Tamil Nadu) is in action again.
‘Singam3’ fits well into director Hari’s template of a mass entertainer-an honest policeman while taking on criminals also finds time to romance with beautiful women amidst breathtaking visuals that transport viewers fancy-free to distant lands.

Tamil actor Surya returns as Durai Singam, and the star delivers his role with aplomb, in true singam style. His screen presence is a commanding picture throughout and not even once does he go overboard.

Tamil actor Surya returns as Durai Singam, and the star delivers his role with aplomb, in true singam style. His screen presence is a commanding picture throughout and not even once does he go overboard.
Singam, the Sub-Inspector from Toothukudi, is deputed on work to the neighbouring state of Andhra Pradesh to investigate the murder of a senior police officer Ramakrishna (Jayaprakash).
Durai Singam is in pursuit of the suspects and we soon learn that Vishakapatnam port is under the control of Reddy, a goon. Reddy is also hand in glove with an Indian billionaire, Vithal (Thakur Anoop Singh) from Australia in an illegal activity, that Singam unveils.
Singam’s ire is provoked and he charges roaring to make the kill-
Oru Thavaru Seithaal, Athai Therinthu Seithaal, Athu Devan Endraalum, Vida maaten (One mistake made, and if that is done deliberately, even if it is God, I will not spare him).
Hari’s story is, of course, predictable. As long as you don’t question Durai Singam’s invincibility, who with his bare hands flicks off adversaries very easily, you have an entertainer that makes you forget the world outside.

The fast pace of narration and breathtaking visuals by cinematographer Priyan prop up the film. Anushka Shetty playing Singam’s wife Kavya and Sruthi Haasan, as an investigative journalist in love with Singam, lend glamour, designer clothes et all.
What slows down the fast pace of the story is comedian Soori as Singam’s constable and his dry humour. Soori’s style of beating people has repeated again and certainly does not tickle you in any way. It’s getting annoying actually. The jokes fall flat on their face.
Another thing lacking was a really powerful antagonist. Vithal’s character could have been written better.
‘Singam3’ is a mass entertainer and a Surya show all the way.
Of course, the star lives up to his image.
