To say the truth, this film doesn't deserve the spoiler button. Why? Because under the name "Singam", you're gonna watch the director's own 2003 flick "Saamy" starring Vikram and Trisha, modified to an extent, as if to avoid any resemblance. So by revealing the plot, I wouldn't have made much difference. This film is supposed to be Surya Sivakumar's 25th film, so you go into the theatre expecting at least a decent movie. But what you wouldn't have expected is, as the film proceeds you'll realize more and more that it has been influenced to an alarming level by Saamy, so that during the climax you are going to know exactly what is gonna happen. Actually, despite this, the film could've kept you quite engaged but for the unnecessary song sequences which seemed determined to break the pace of the film. The director has wasted the talents of the award winning actor Prakash Raj. Anushka Shetty has almost no role in the movie except for song sequences and other scenes probably present to remind you that she is the heroine. Surya's on-screen antics (the unforgettable roaring lion appearing every time he slaps a guy, whoa!) and gravity defying action sequences makes you wonder why a comedian was ever required in the film. And the comedian Vivek's comedies are average too. Overall, sadly a run-of-the-mill 25th film for Surya. But still, as many say, actor Vijay could learn a lot from Surya about acting in masala flicks.
