Sinam HD Released

 

Arun Vijay certainly seems to love playing cop roles. That he convincingly pulls off the role of a menacing cop every time is his biggest strength. GNR Kumaravelan's Sinam, in which he plays a cop again, unfolds as both an investigative thriller and a revenge drama.

The film starts off with Paari Venkat (Arun Vijay), a honest SI, reprimanding a goon charged with murder, who he has to take to the court the following day. Meanwhile, we also get to know how Pari met Madhangi (Pallak Lalwani) and built a beautiful family with their kid Bujji (Baby Desina). Pari, being an orphan, isn't well received at his in-laws' place for marrying their daughter without their approval. While an opportunity arises for Pari to reunite with her family, a turn of ill-fated events lead to a tragedy in his life. The latter half of the film explores what really happened and how Pari seeks revenge for his loss.

Sinam's initial setting is decent and the tone that the director goes for really helps us to cope with the flow of the narrative. The emotional drama in the first half works to an extent, allowing us to get a glimpse into the protagonist's life. However, as the film progresses, we are left wanting more engaging sequences. The film, in fact, is not perfect as a thriller as well as it presents a very clichéd conflict and brings in an age-old resolution for the same. The second half of the film is very predictable and the convenient investigative procedure only makes it an average watch.

One of the film's highlights is that GNR Kumaravelan tries to break a particular stereotype in the second half. But even before we can appreciate this attempt, he falls victim to another. The last sequence looks preachy and doesn't really stir our emotion. Though the idea and the intention of the filmmaker is laudable, many events and sequences are forced and don't really add anything new.
