Singham is a 2011 Indian action film directed by Rohit Shetty and starring Ajay Devgn in the lead role of sub-inspector Durai Singan. The film revolves around Singan, who is known for his fearless attitude and strong principles. He comes to a small village in Tamil Nadu to work as a police officer and soon becomes aware of the corrupt practices of the local goons led by Vaaganam.
Vaaganam, played by Prakash Raj, is a powerful and influential man who uses his wealth and connections to manipulate the system and carry out his illegal activities. He kidnaps children from wealthy families and demands hefty ransoms for their release. Singan, having a personal vendetta against Vaaganam, sets out to stop him and bring him to justice.
The film features high-octane action sequences and intense drama as Singan battles against Vaaganam and his associates. He is also faced with challenges from his own colleagues, who are either corrupt or hesitant to take action against Vaaganam due to his power and influence.
The film also explores Singan's personal life, including his relationship with his fiancee Kavya, played by Kajal Aggarwal, and his friendship with fellow officer Ravi, played by Prakash Raj's son, Siddharth. Singan's loyalty, dedication and bravery are put to the test as he races against time to save innocent lives and bring justice to the small village.
Singham was a commercial and critical success, leading to two sequels, Singham Returns (2014) and Simmba (2018), both directed by Rohit Shetty and starring Devgn in cameo roles. The film's dialogues, especially Singan's iconic catchphrase "Aata majhi satakli" (I have lost my mind), have become popular cultural references in India.
