The real fun begins, though, when Singaram, rendered uncommonly courageous by a temporary victory against Olakkai, suddenly decides to win over the neighbouring red Indians as well.Įnter Athri Kesa (M S Bhaskar), who, in a truly marvellous role, sports feathers a mile long, trots magnificently on horses and speaks a language that has to be constantly translated. G V Prakash isn't really at his best, here. Singaram stumbles and stutters through gun-fights and a budding romance with Pali aka Pappali (Padmapriya) with whom he sings a couple of colourless duets. Having given a rather interesting flashback to Singaram, complete with special effects, bleak cinematography and harmonica music, the gang returns to Jaishankarpuram (a brilliant homage to South India's James Bond and homegrown cowboy) where all the women are dressed in flowing skirts and bonnets, and the men in flared trousers and wide-brimmed hats. Thus, they offer a trade-off - if he will pose as Singam, they will give him their temple's treasure - a stone that's a clone of the Texas Mullangi, to take back to his village. They need Singam to vanquish evil but all they've got is Singaram, his look-alike. Malignant entities like Olakkai (Sai Kumar) and his boss, Kelattukkattai (Nasser) from USApuram have risen up again, and the people suffer terribly. Some years ago, he disappeared and no one knows where. Turns out there's an identical double for Singaram - he's the Lightning Warrior Singam, the man who can spin guns in a flash, shoot like a demon and is a nightmare to his enemies. Of course, there's a reason behind their kind act. Sentenced to death for his crime, he's saved in the nick of time, cowboy fashion, by a band of horse-mounted warriors comprising of Dagulandi, Viruma, et al (Ilavarasu, Mauli, Vaiyapuri and Ramesh Khanna).
