Si3 (Singam 3 / S3 / C3) movie review, ratings: 

Director Hari's Tamil movie Si3 (also known as Singam 3/S3/C3) featuring Suriya, Anushka Shetty and Shruti Haasan in the lead roles, has received positive reviews and ratings from viewers around the world. 

Singam 3 aka S3 advance booking begins; Suriya's film set for a grand opening at box office

Si3 story/plot:

Si3 is a commercial entertainer, which is high on action quotient. The movie is a sequel to the superhit movie Singam 2. Director Hari has also written the story, screenplay and dialogues for the movie. The film revolves around the story of an uncompromising police chief, Durai Singam, who fights against a criminal operation dealing in deadly toxic waste.

Analysis:

Viewers say Si3 has nothing new to offer in terms of its story, but the director has added a lot of masala elements in the screenplay to make it interesting. The movie has fast-paced narration right from the beginning until the end. The first half is average and some action scenes impress film goers in this part. Soori's comedy gets irritating, many viewers say. The twist at the interval is good and the story gains momentum from here. The second half is very engaging and entertaining.

Performance:

Suriya has delivered a sterling performance. He is no doubt the showman of Si3.  Anushka Shetty and Shruti Haasan have done justice to their roles and their chemistry with Suriya is good. Thakur Anoop Singh, Raadhika Sarathkumar, Krish, Soori and Robo Shankar are also good in their respective roles. Neetu Chandra is seen sizzling in the item song and she is also a good asset of the film.

Technical elements:

Si3 has been made with a whopping budget and it has got superb production elements. Priyan's beautiful cinematography, Harris Jayaraj's wonderful music, the brilliant choreography of action and dance, VT Vijayan and TS Jay's good editing and Hari's punchy dialogues are the main attractions on the technical front, say film-goers.

Here is the viewers' verdict on the film shared on Twitter. Following is the live update of Si3 (Singam 3 / S3 / C3) movie review, ratings by audience:

#Si3 #S3 #Singam3 — 2.75/5 Standard template Hari film with essential commercial elements. Defi not bad as we thought. #Suriya one man show #Si3 #S3 #Singam3 — After a slow start, picks pace and ends well. Enjoyed the high voltage second half better than the first. Hari packs it! #Si3 #S3 #Singam3 — #Suriya delivers an earnest performance as the angry cop who holds the film together. Energy level same even after years Low point is the irritating Soori and Shruti Haasan. They continue from where they left in Vedalam. Comedy doesnt work. The usual top angle shots gives us an impression of being racy. Harris Jayaraj cld have given better bgm. Action seq fab Intro of #Suriya gave me goosebumps from 1st and 2nd part. Aptly used them when needed. Will reach the target audience

Half way thro #Singam3: @Suriya_offl's scorching screen presence shoulders the film. Hari has taken up an interesting issue as the core plot #Singam3 1st half: Superbly paced with the right amount of action and investigation scenes. Stage is perfectly set for the interval. #Singam3: Hats off to @Suriya_offl, who has retained the same energy and enthusiasm as Durai Singam. That dazzling aura elevates the film. #Singam3: Sure-shot hit on cards. Enjoyed the film. Definitely the best of the #Singam franchise. @Suriya_offl & Hari are back with a bang. #Singam3: Despite the story going global, the film is still local & accessible, thanks to @Suriya_offl's rooted performance & Hari's writing. #Singam3: A perfect mass masala action thriller from Hari and @Suriya_offl with appropriate commercial elements. Go for it
