After
making
a
promising
debut
in
Kumki,
Vikram
Prabhu
could
not
create
the
same
magic
in
his
next
two
movies
Ivan
Veramathiri
and
Arima
Nambi.
Now,
he
is
returning
with
Sigaram
Thodu
in
which
he
plays
the
role
of
a
cop.
The
movie
is
directed
by
newcomer
Gaurav
and
produced
by
UTV
Motion
Pictures.
Apart
from
Vikram
Prabhu,
Sathyaraj,
Monal
Gajjar,
KS
Ravikumar,
Sathish,
Kovai
Sarala
and
others
are
in
the
cast.
Sigaram
Thodu
has
D
Imman's
music
and
Vijay
Ulaganath's
cinematography.

the
review...
Sigaram
Thodu
has
the
right
balance
of
all
the
necessary
commercial
ingredients.
Newbie
Gaurav
Narayanan's
movie
has
a
gripping
screenplay
and
the
realistic
execution
that
makes
the
movie
an
interesting
watch.
The
script
is
backed
by
good
performances
from
all
the
actors
including
Vikram
Prabhu.
Not
to
forget
the
huge
contribution
made
by
the
technical
team.
Murali
Pandian
(Vikram
Prabhu),
the
son
of
disciplinarian
ex-cop
Chellapa
(Sathyaraj),
doesn't
have
high
expectations
or
ambitions
in
his
life.
All
he
need
is
a
9-to-5
bank
manager
job.
The
young
boy
is
not
keen
on
working
hard
and
tries
his
best
to
woo
the
people,
who
work
in
bank,
in
order
to
get
a
bank
job.
On
the
other
side,
his
father
has
some
big
dreams;
he
wishes
to
see
his
son
as
a
police
officer
and
more
importantly
he
wants
his
son
to
be
the
best
cop
in
the
state.
Rating:
3.5/5
Whether
Murali
Pandian
fulfils
his
father's
dream
or
will
he
pursue
his
own
dreams
should
be
seen
on-screen.
The
director
has
thrown
light
on
hi-tech
thefts
like
ATM
robbery,
credit
and
debit
cards
forgery,
etc.
In
the
first
half
of
Sigaram
Thodu,
the
story
makes
us
believe
that
it
is
any
other
crime,
which
could
be
easily
committed
by
layman
with
a
little
bit
of
luck.
But
the
second
half
stuns
you
as
the
story
opens
up
and
reveals
how
smartly
it
is
done.

First
Half
The
first
half
is
fairly
engaging
except
the
dull
romantic
sequences
of
the
lead
stars.
The
last
twenty
minutes
before
the
interval
is
very
interesting.
Second
Half
The
flow
of
the
story
in
second
half
is
good
and
thrilling
parts
remain
highlight
here.
Once
again,
songs
work
as
a
speed
breaker.
However,
post-interval
session
works
better
than
the
first
half.
Performance
Sigaram
Thodu
brings
out
the
best
from
Vikram
Prabhu.
Sathyaraj,
Sathish
and
Erode
Mahesh
pull
of
their
roles
well.
Even
director
Gaurav
has
enacted
his
role
of
an
antagonist
to
perfection.
Tech
Departments
Imman's
music
is
good
and
his
background
has
high
impact
while
watching
the
movie.
Ulaganath's
cinematography
is
top
notch
and
Praveen
KL's
editing
is
commendable.
Verdict:
Verdict:
Sigaram
Thodu
is
well-researched
product
and
wholesome
family
entertainer.
