Silukkuvaarpatti Singam movie review: When a story is this flimsy, it is impossible to get invested in a single character.
Silukkuvarupatti Singam movie cast: Vishnuu Vishal, Regina Cassandra Silukkuvarupatti Singam movie director: Chella Ayyavu Silukkuvarupatti Singam movie rating: 2 stars
Silukkuvarupatti Singam is yet another run-of-the-mill comedy film that is filled with crass and sexist jokes. Vishnuu Vishal plays Sakthi aka Sathyamoorthy, a constable who doesn’t care about his job and is extremely passionate about his half-boiled egg (go figure!). He is accompanied by Bhaskar (Karunakaran), another constable who wants to do his job well but isn’t allowed to because of the attitude of every other cop around him. Bigg Boss fame Oviya whose cameo was highly publicized is introduced in the film even before her entry as all the principal characters in the film have objectified her in the first two minutes of the film. The villain is Cycle Shankar, a pitiless rowdy who murders cops in broad daylight and gets away with it comfortably.
The first half takes its own time to introduce all the other characters in the film. There is share-auto Chandran, a local goon of Silukkuvarupatti and ex-minister Mansoor Ali Khan. Regina Cassandra is Raji, Sakthi’s love interest. The initial dialogues and “romance” between the lead are cringe-worthy. Sakthi sees her for a second and immediately bursts out in a dream sequence and sings about how he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. There is a scene where Sakthi sniffs her and asks what soap she uses in front of a kid! Even the kid is bothered by it and turns away. Regina seems totally out of place in a small town as a teacher.
Cycle Shankar gets arrested and beaten up by Shakti for mistakenly knocking a plate of half-boiled egg out from his hand. He spends four days in the lock-up for this! We get rape jokes. A woman tells the cop to book her alcoholic husband in a rape case because he comes home drunk and rapes her only to get dismissed and not taken seriously. There are half a dozen sub-plots, a dozen characters and it ends up being a giant mess without provoking a single laugh.
The saving grace of the film is Yogi Babu whose dialogue delivery and comic timing is spot on. When a story is this flimsy, it is impossible to get invested in a single character. There is a scene where Vishnuu Vishal disguises himself as a woman and the locals chase her for a fix. It is in such bad taste. The climax is just a weak attempt to tie all the loose ends together. With its inconsistent and problematic humour, it is far from a laugh riot. The film doesn’t accomplish what it sets out to do.
, Download New Movie Apple gave everyone a glimpse at the future of the iPhone with last year's iPhone X, positioning it at the top of its lineup. With a “notch” and Face ID, the iPhone X was the iPhone of the future, and it came with a price tag that required you to pay EMIs well into the future. The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus were meant to be the more accessible offerings, continuing Apple's “business as usual” model of delivering solid, incremental updates at prices that were only marginally higher than their predecessors. With 2018, however, it seems the future is here, as Apple has gone all-in with the iPhone X ( Review ) design language across the entire lineup. For the second year in a row, we get not two but three new iPhone models, but this time, they all look pretty much the same — like the iPhone X, but at different sizes. Physically, the iPhone XR sits between the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max . It's priced in iPhone 8 Plus territory, which means Apple has elim...
, Download New Movie We are sending away 2018 and we look back and see what were the most popular phones over the past year. While there are 20 phones in the yearly selection, the list of manufacturers is scarce. To be more precise, two out of every three devices come from either Xiaomi or Samsung. Samsung brought us 7 of the most popular phones in 2018 - hardly a surprise that the world's largest manufacturer dominates the popularity chart. Somewhat less expected is that Xiaomi got 6. Last year , the number for the Korean manufacturer was the same, but the Chinese maker is up by one, showcasing that the global trend of Xiaomi catching up to the big guys is on every level. The most popular phone of 2018 was the Redmi Note 5 Pro and it completely smashed any competition. It was so popular, that the other two Xiaomis following couldn’t gather the same number of hits even if they combined their powers. Samsung eventually caught up with the Galaxy A8 (2018). The love for midrangers is...
