Pen Singam review: First on Galatta

Pen Singam begins with Suriya (Uday Kiran), who tries to escape from a jail. As we anticipate, his memories slowly start moving backward into his past. In the flashback, we see Suriya as a newly appointed forest officer with a mission to wipe out corruption from the forest department.

Naturally, he faces threats from forest goods smugglers, led by Simha Perumal (Radha Ravi) and a police officer Parasuraman, but he never minds them. Meghala (Meera Jasmine), a girl from a poor family, is a computer operator in Suriya’s office and her dream is to become an IPS officer. Suriya and Meghala gradually fall in love. Later, Meghala passes the IPS exam and goes for training.
