Storyline

Sub-Inspector Durai Singam lives a fairly wealthy lifestyle in Nallore along with his parents and a sister. He uses the powers vested in him wisely and well, and is, therefore, respected by everyone. He meets with and falls in love with Kavya Mahalingam but faces strong opposition from her Chennai-based businessman father, who does not approve of him. Before things could be sorted out, the High Court directs an influential gangster, Mayil Vaaganam, to report to Durai. The former initially refuses to attend, but relents and attempts to vainly use goon power to intimidate Durai and instead ends up humbled and humiliated. Upon the latter's return to Chennai, he ensures Durai gets transferred there and prepares a plan to terrorize and humiliate not only Durai but also his friends and family with impunity.

2hr 30 min of fun

This movie does not have a new story. Fights are also not new. The same village stuff. But the director has done the filming in such a way that these flaws are rarely seen. Many ppl are forgetting Surya is possibly the only actor to do both a classy (kk) and a mass (singam) cop story. This movie provides complete entertainment. One thing people should follow is that they should stop comparing mass movies. Mass entertainers follow a formula which is basically a logic-less formula. The main trump card in mass entertainers is the villain n the punch dialogues. So in short similarities are inevitable. So comparison is basically pointless. This movie is not for people who look out for art stuff in every movie. This gives you full value for your money if you like to be entertained. No unwanted sentiments. Descent punches. Prakash n Surya meetings are good.But there r few flaws. Comedy was not all that great. IN few scenes Surya was found to be shouting too much. So this movie is like going to a normal hotel and having hot tasty biriyani! You will enjoy it if u like biriyani!
