Cast: Suriya, Anushka, Prakash Raj, Vivek, Manoramma. Direction: Hari Music: Devi Sri Prasad Production: BIG Pictures
Suriya’s Singam has never a moment of
humdrum; tautly packed with relevant items of a commercial potboiler, it proves
Suriya’s convincing portrayal of a cop has lots to do with the success of the
movie. As his aide, Anushka plays the femme fatale and looks pretty too.

Arts
Pen Singam is a legal drama, written by the
CM. It stars Meera Jasmine in the title role as a lawyer with scope for
performance. Meera pulls it off successfully but if only the movie’s script was
tweaked for the current setting, it would have been noticed.

man hero, scheming relatives, loving brothers and a love affair.
