Suriya’s Singam 3 or S3 might have garnered mixed reviews and even audiences response to the film is reasonably good. In fact, S3 got better response from crowd compared to Nag’s Om Namo Venkatesaya. Yet S3 would not be termed as a hit given that the film is sold for high distribution rates.
On other hand, S3 would join the list of Suriya’s failures. Suriya’s last film 24 too failed to meet the high expectations. While the film has done well in Telugu, the film ended as a failure in Tamil. Overall, 24 is declared as a Box Office failure despite garnering rave reviews.
The other flops of Suriya were Rakshasudu (Massu Engira Masilamani) and Sikandar (Anjaan). Even Rakshadu got average reviews but that didn’t translate into commercial success. Whereas Sikander is a disappointment both critically and commercially not up to the mark.
Suriya’s last hit film was Singam 2 aka Yamudu 2. Now, Suriya is under pressure to choose his films wisely. Although he has good following in Telugu, Tamil, if his flop streak continues, this would affect his stardom in the long run.
