RJ BALAJI IS A MAN OF SUBSTANCE...!!!

[PANDIAN120621 · 7/10 · 23 February 2024]

A big round of applause for RJ BALAJI for the way he choses his script & Keeping us entertained with your roles...indeed inspires every newcomers to kollywood...

The pace of the movie picked up when Sathyaraj was introduced. Take a bow for his Unbelievable charm at this age Sir...Robo Shankar's accent and rib tickling comedy is delight to watch...While LAL's methodical acting once again proves his versatility & impact he does create in a movie...

Aravind swamy worthy cameo as God and shows that it doesn't matter where your business is as long you give right lamdmark with your talent...Though the parrot episode seems to be an emotionally bonding but it's arguably cringe too...

A well deserved success for director Gokul after a serious boxoffice mishaps in the past...Overall a neat package of family entertainment with a good intentions...

Average movie...

[sivapremasekaran · 6/10 · 27 January 2024]

First half is good but second half scenes are unrelated to the movie.1st half screenplay is awesome... This film is one time watchable if you are a movie lover. Otherwise this movie is worth watching only first half!story plot is good and conveys a good message in the End. Every work is God so work with passion!.. Story starts with a two boys who felt angry with barber and then kathir loves the working style of barber saccha...Then kathir wants to become a stylish barber so he has ambition to become a famous barber of India.. Kathir goes with lots of trouble in the movie and finally he opened Singapore saloon in Chennai with the help of his wife's father..Then after what happens is the story!

Thank you😊

First half is ok, 2nd half is out of Singapore salon

[stanleysen-chat · 5/10 · 15 April 2024]

First half is justice to the title, second half story is out of the title. Movie becomes a dance competition program.

Writer salon or shown with proper story. Both of them half baked story. And frequently showing the parrots and many might have guessed that it play an important role in the climax. But it didn't gel with the story. I was expecting the competition between hair specialists fighting for their glory. Heroine is of no use. Robo Sankar comedy and voice modulation didn't work. Satya raj is ok.

Seems director has many thoughts and trying to put together in a single movie. This could have been a 3 movies.

Cringe movie - Totally unwatchable

[sathyatheni-57103 · 1/10 · 25 February 2024]

Its one of the cringest movie in tamil cinema . First 1 hour was good , but after that it was full of cringe scenes. Akward to the core . The director absolutely had no idea in his mind . RJ balaji acting was very poor . Total waste of time . In the name of motivation , the director has made an absolute nonsense story . Acting is very poor . Only sathyaraj acting was good in the movie . Total unwanted scenes . Not sure why loki , jeeva , aracvindsamy acted in this movie . This movie only creates anger , but definitely not motivation . RJ balaji can host a radio show mow again and tease his own movie.

watchable if you are bored and can ignore logics.

This movie wasn't bad but wasn't good either.. most part wouldn't make sense but if you don't think about logic it's decent.. comedy 4/10, not very funny but was ok. Some parts were emotional but before you even fully get a grasp on the situation story plot goes to something else.. i did think the movie was aight but wouldn't wanna watch it again. Watchable if you have alot of time on your hands and don't know what to do.. don't look for logic, barely anything made sense.. don't get too much into it cause the story goes everywhere and you will forget what happened before this happened.. literally i can think of 5 different plots in this 1 movie if not more.. don't really have anything to really criticise as i didn't have any expectations before watching this, but just a thought that Rj Balaji could take way better story for his movies, really loved most of his previous movies.. this movie seemed like producer and director said "ive got way to much money don't know what to do let me put in this movie and we make a story that dont make any sense" so yeah looked too expensive.. movie was aight, some unnecessary characters, could be better. But it is what it is...movie if you feel like a silly couch potato who have nothing to do :))

tldr : only watch if you have sooo much time to killl and if you can ignore logics.

Commercial movie as it should be

[realganesh · 8/10 · 28 February 2024]

Movie: 7.5/10

This is what a commercial movie when the story is written very well.

Story and the message it tried to convey were excellently executed.

Comedy scenes were refreshing. Everyone played their part very well.

Cons: 1. The climax scene when hero decides to hold his ground after seeing the birds felt little lagging(slow).

2. Songs could been better. None of them stayed in mind after the movie.

3. The scenes where the Singapore saloon gang performs felt lagging/long.

Otherwise it's a very good movie to watch.

Some movies give satisfaction to your heart in a pleasant way. It is that kind. Kudos to the writer for the script.

Good attempt I guess?!

Singapore Saloon (2024) #dotFilmReview

In a village, friends Kathir and Basheer dream big. Inspired by a local salon owner named Chacha, Kathir sets his heart on becoming a hairstylist. The story unfolds as Kathir faces challenges, pursues his passion, and strives to open his own saloon, the 'Singapore Saloon.'

While I had high hopes for this film, especially after RJ Balaji's comparison to Velaiyilla Pattathari during the promotions, it unfortunately fell short of expectations. Although there were some enjoyable moments, overall it lacked the sharpness in writing needed to truly captivate the audience.

The childhood sequences were undeniably the highlight, delivering nostalgia and depth to the narrative. However, as Kathir grows up, the pacing slows down, and the humor, particularly from Robo Shankar and Sathyaraj, didn't quite resonate with me. Despite some claiming the first half to be a "laughter riot," I found it a bit challenging to stay engaged.

Initially, the second half didn't offer much improvement, with weak conflicts dragging the story. However, the introduction of Aravind Swamy's cameo injected some much-needed intrigue, especially with the dance group subplot. The film managed to redeem itself somewhat towards the end, particularly with the heartfelt Chacha reunion scene, which I found genuinely touching.

Overall, while the film excelled in its opening and closing segments, the middle portion left much to be desired. Nonetheless, it's commendable for its attempt at storytelling.

This is a beautiful movie for those who dare to be different and follow their passion

[msuriyascience · 10/10 · 6 February 2024]

This movie will interest you only if you have chased your passion. If you are an average Joe this will not happen. Gokul shows a lot of courage and expertise in sculpting his characters. The protagonist RJ Balaji shows phenomenal increase in his capacity as a daring dreamer who is courageous enough to follow his passion. The first half is good but the second half is philosophical ( but not preachy).

Overall one of the best films of the year. If you are an average Joe forget seeing the second half. After many years after being moved to tears by the film Aruvi this is the next film which did it.

"Singapore Saloon: A Lackluster Cinematic Misfire"

[arima-mano11 · 3/10 · 22 March 2024]

As a film enthusiast, I recently had the displeasure of watching "Singapore Saloon," and I must say, it was a cinematic disappointment from start to finish. The movie failed to deliver on multiple fronts, leaving viewers with an unsatisfying and forgettable experience.

One of the most glaring issues with "Singapore Saloon" is its lack of a compelling storyline. The plot meanders aimlessly, lacking coherent direction or meaningful character development. Viewers are left wondering what the film is trying to achieve, as it fails to engage or captivate with its narrative.

The performances in "Singapore Saloon" are equally underwhelming. The cast members deliver flat and unconvincing portrayals, failing to evoke any emotional connection or investment from the audience. Character motivations are unclear, and interactions feel forced and unnatural, further detracting from the overall viewing experience.

Moreover, the technical aspects of the film leave much to be desired. The cinematography is uninspired, with dull visuals that do little to enhance the storytelling. Sound design and editing are also lackluster, contributing to a disjointed and unpolished final product.

The pacing of "Singapore Saloon" is another major flaw. The movie drags on unnecessarily, with scenes that overstay their welcome and add little value to the overall narrative. Viewers are left bored and disengaged, struggling to find reasons to stay invested in the story unfolding on screen.

Additionally, "Singapore Saloon" suffers from a lack of originality and creativity. The film relies heavily on tired clichés and predictable plot twists, offering nothing new or innovative to the genre. It feels like a rehash of familiar tropes without adding any fresh perspective or insight.

In conclusion, "Singapore Saloon" is a lackluster and uninspired cinematic effort that fails to leave a lasting impression. With its weak storyline, unconvincing performances, technical shortcomings, pacing issues, and lack of originality, the film falls flat and struggles to justify its place in the world of cinema. I would advise potential viewers to steer clear of this disappointing movie and explore more engaging and worthwhile cinematic offerings.

Is this the worst film ever?

[Vetrrich_Chelvan · 1/10 · 14 March 2024]

Singapore Saloon is a wannabe emotional film that has no idea on how real life functions and all it wants is to seek attention from its audience with its pathetic screenplay that lacks logic, characterization, scene continuity, and, whatever that it that makes a good film.

If you are looking to get inspired from this movie, I'm telling you, watching paint dry, is much more entertaining than this. I had to watch the whole film in 1.5x speed as it is too slow and things don't make sense; Everything happens to the main character and he basically does nothing to become a millionaire.

When I heard about this film, I thought it would be revolutionary since in India, cutting someone's hair is associated with certain caste only. R. J Balaji's good for nothing film skips all the actual issues that a person would face to become an entreprenur and the entire narrative of this film is constructed on weird consequences that is way too improbable to happen to a single person.

Beautiful movie and Mr. Sathiyaraj is adding extra strength to movie in comedy.

[rameshsmn · 10/10 · 3 March 2024]

Beautiful movie with lot of comedy and Mr. Sathiyaraj is adding extra strength to movie in comedy. Second half should be shorten by editor otherwise movie is enjoyable. Cameraman work is awesome.

Movie is telling that all the jobs are equal and can be done by anyone if they have passion in doing it and also if issues comes in life do not struck up and end your life, there should be always alternative to move forward and achieve the goal and movie is telling to take care of nature along with your routine work.

Totally, it is family watchable entertainment comedy movie and lot messages can be get from this movie.

A Motivation movie with something new villans

[bhuvaragar · 10/10 · 26 January 2024]

Literally Made me to flow tears 😭 and also motivated to work hard for what I like Actually a Great worked movie Says about some of "social issues" "self confidence" even a "devotional" "environmental " contents filled with full of beautifull works actually my father likes this movie more it's one of the rare piece because of that Also a beautifull love story literally says how a comman man love can be break and fixed later life takes it decision own some time unexplainable.

A motivational epic backround score which shows it head in every turning point

Only doubt is about his second love (Because he loved job first)

A NICE MOVIE

[nidhinpvr · 10/10 · 24 March 2024]

A nice feel good movie worth for watching every single minute is worth. A special concept and feel good story climax makes emotional and it's good guys. Lal makes a special character and rural people and parrot makes a special emotional connection to the movie so watching is worth and every minute makes a good feel and some scene personally connect to my life so it makes comfortable for me and think about past. And if your are a bird lover you can connect easily in climax scene and sathyaraj also makes a good character and it's funny + good story and camera angle and graphics also good in parrot.
