“Singam” means Lion. The movie tells the story of Durai Singam (Surya Sivakumar), an honest police officer who lives in Nellore, which lies between Vijayawada and Chennai. Durai Singam is very much interested to run his father’s provision stores but his father wants him to become a police officer and so he does.

Singam solves civil cases on his own attempts and becomes very successful. Meanwhile, Singam comes across Kavya (Anushka Shetty), daughter of a rich businessman (Nasser) who comes to spend holiday. Kavya is impressed by the good nature of Surya and falls in love with him.

Meanwhile, in Chennai, notorious gangster, Mayil Vaaganam (Prakash Raj) is spreading fear among people. He threatens people by kidnapping their kids. Then in a case, Vaaganam faces Shingam and the two gets into a big fight.
