Singam 3

Many directors are right now in the trend of making sequels to many blockbusters released in Tamil. Hari's Singam franchise is definitely one of the most important sequels that have clicked among the masses. Adding to its success, Hari's Si3 is the third action flick of his popular cop franchise. Just like its previous versions, Si3 is a fast-paced action masala that again revolves around the super energetic Suriya as Durai Singam the powerful cop from Tamil Nadu. It must be noted that Suriya has kept the true essence of that character even after 7 years of the first Singam's release. The film follows from where it has ended in Singam 2. Hari has made sure that this film has an international appeal by adding an antagonist from Australia. Unfortunately, the film doesn't seem to be properly built in to get reach out globally. In fact, the film has the typical issues from its predecessor Singam 2 and it only seems to be a rehash of that version. We have a big cast who are left with no big scope in the film. Even, the muscularly strong antagonist is not a big threat to our Durai Singam because our hero wins over him in every single threatening moment. Soori's comedy sequences and Shruthi Hassan's scenes are quite similar to the ones of Santhanam and Hansika from Singam 2. They are not able to bring much-needed laughter which is quite disappointing. The lack of logic, the over glorifying scenes, and the superheroic action sequences are just things that are out of the world and Hari's typical style of filmmaking. The glittering effects that he uses to create the heroic effect seem to be overused throughout the film. The flaws in the writing are probably letting down the film's quality. The subplots, the unnecessary comedy tracks, and the not-so-challenging obstacles that Durai Singam faces don't keep the film engaging. Another biggest letdown would be the replacement of Devi Sri Prasad with Harris Jayaraj. Harris Jayaraj has his own style of composing tunes and Singam is probably not his fort. The songs and the background score are just average. The over-electrifying theme used for Suriya is too loud but it justifies his heroism. Despite the disappointing aspects, Si3 stays true to its genre, its initial core idea, and of course its protagonist Suriya. Well, Si3 is out and out a Suriya film. Like their previous collaborations, Hari proved that he can make a tailor-made action film for Suriya's larger-than-life star image. The way he has crafted his character makes us believe that Durai Singam is our very own superhero disguised as a police officer. Technically, Si3 is really grand in every single aspect including the cinematography and the setup. Overall, Si3 follows the same pattern as its predecessors but it's watchable for Suriya's power-packed performance.

Singam 3 a definite must watch movie for those who falls under the face-paced action genre. A great round of applause to Suriya the hero of this movie who carried the entire movie in his shoulder (apart from all the shouting) Suriya did true justice to the character. And the captain of the ship director Hari has once again proved that he is the king of commercial movies in India. This is the fastest movie under his direction.

We have to salute director Hari for pointing out the medical and electronic waste subject where corrupted politicians secretly deals with foreign countries, which is happening in India. Yes! Its is happening and great respect to Hari for pointing this out. As said earlier, due to the speed of the movie this messages was totally ignored by many. Hari could have strengthen this medical and electronic wastage problem.

Pace of the film was too fast but for no reason. It wasn't leading anywhere. Same old cat and mouse game. There were many logic loopholes, but at the end of the day its a "masala commercial" genre which was invented by us Indians which we are "proud" of. -_- Come on man we invented our own genre. Jokes aside.. SPEAKING OF JOKES.. Harris Jayaraj THE BIGGEST JOKE in this film, worst music and BGM ever for an film and it just had to be Suriya's movie (the most talked about combo Suriya-Harris). Shruti Hassan could have been totally avoided and Soori's comedy turned out to be a disastrous one.

But apart from all this the energy Suriya had for this movie will grip you towards the screen and the hard work of Hari and his team in delivering a film that wont even let you blink once is definitely worth the shot! A great action cop film ! My score - 6.9/10

Singam 3 (2017): Singam series has the rare feat of being a successful franchise in South India.Directed by Hari and starring Surya as Durai Singam,this series has gained popularity because of high octane action and racy screenplay.But If u ask me I would say that Singam is the loudest movie of India.

Plot: DCP Duraisingam (Suriya), an honest police officer from Tamil Nadu is assigned a case by the Home Minister of Andhra Pradesh Sathyanarayana (Sarath Babu). He's in charge of the murder of Visakhapatnam police commissioner Ramakrishna (Jayaprakash). Since the film is set in Andhra, Duraisingam beats up some 30 goons in his introductory scene. Through his investigations, Duraisingam comes to know about the illegal transportation of non-biodegradable wastes from Sydney to Vizag by a billionaire Vittal Prasad (Thakur Anoop Singh).

Plus Points: 1)Surya: Surya is the sole reason for the success of Singam series.But I think it would be best if he leave this series aside as he have lot of fans who expect much different movies from him like 24,Vaanaram Aayiram etc..

Minus Points: Hari is one of the few film maker in recent times who always believes that being loud is the only way to shatter box office but Why doesn't he worry about audience ears.

Soori plays a comical police constable Veeram, whose one-liners are pathetic. His portions with Shruti Haasan are cringe-worthy.Sruthi Hasan has no scope for acting in this.Anushka looks too old.Villains are not noteworthy.

No words about that loud and pathetic songs and BGM

So,S3 is another loud entry into the loudest franchise of Indian.Watch it if you are a huge fan of such films.

My rating 5.5/10

The Singam sequels are superficial cop stories. To enjoy it, you will have to distance yourself from reality. The treatment could be loud and not practically possible, but you get 100% action packed fun. This edition of Singam is no different when it comes to entertainment.

When you are going to bring back a powerful character like Durai Singam, you definitely need a strong and never-heard-before story. It has an interesting core story and Hari has done full justice to the script with an engaging screenplay.

Soori's comedy doesn't work what so ever. In most Hari films the comedy slows the tempo of the film. Though Hari has understood that and reduced the number of comedy scenes, none of the few that were shown in this film attracts you and sometimes even annoys you. The editor does have a major work to do as he has so many scenes to maneuver around than a normal commercial film. Though you laud him for giving us a crisp product, we also need to point out the fact that the final product is not smooth and few scenes get over even before it starts.

This movie was okay, not the worst but definitely not the best, I mostly watched this because of Suriya and Anushka Shetty, without them I wouldn't have given it a shot, was disappointed that Anushka wasn't in it as much as I thought she would. But even with that, Suriya/Anushka makes it bearable enough to watch.

Definitely over the top type of movie, it was interesting to see Sydney as one place in the movie, as an Indian-Australian myself.
