Social media sensation Sampoornesh Babu has made a splashy debut with Hrudaya Kaleyam followed by a brief cameo in Current Theega. Since then, there's a huge anticipation for his second movie. After essaying a thief in his maiden movie, Sampoo wears a khaki and dons cop hat in Singham 123. The two-minute-odd trailer turned many heads and set a big buzz among movie buffs. In addition, none other than actor-producer-educationalist Vishnu Manchu turned writer for this action spoof garnering curiosity.
Plot:
Singham (Sampoo) is a powerful, angry police inspector who is transferred to Singarayakonda on a mission to end the criminal acts of Lingam (Bhavani). Singham learns that he has a past connected to Singarayakonda and his father Jangam (Prithvi) was eliminated by Lingam. Singham is determined to take revenge and vanish Lingam. In between, Singham has a love-interest Chandini (Sanam Prasad). What forms rest is Singham 123.
Performances:
Sampoo in his usual style tickled the funny bones of the viewers. His nuances keep you hooked and it's not often you hear the kind of jokes Sampoo cracked in Singham 123 which give you a real belly laugh. Sampoo's spoofs of big heroes make this movie a laugh riot. Sanam Prasad is okay and easy on the eyes. Actor Prithvi's presence is an additional advantage. The movie should be watch out for the banters exchanged between Sampoo, Prithvi. Bhavani as an antagonist fits the bill.
Technicalities:
Writer-producer Vishnu recruited good director, cast. Director Ajay Sharma decently directed the movie and lives up to the expectations the film generated with its hilarious trailer. Music and Re-recording enhances the experience and makes the movie a pleasant watch. The crisp editing comes in handy for the film.

Analysis:
Telugu movie lovers have been fascinated towards spoofs. Spoofs might not be new, but catering yet another spoof movie is not an easy task. One should laud the audacity of producer Vishnu for doing it perfectly and roping in Sampoo to carry off the film on his shoulders. Appreciate newcomer director Ajay Sharma who churned out the movie like an experienced filmmaker. Vishnu's fast-paced screenplay keeps the movie going without any drag. Like any other revenge drama, Singham 123 doesn't has a great story. But it's enough to entertain the crowds in B & C centres and even engage the multiplex audience as well.
No-holds-barred spoof scenes are hilarious. References to hit Telugu movies and their hit scenes are fun to watch on big screen. Sampoo didn't spare Telugu stars like Allu Arjun, Balakrishna, Pawan Klayan and these are expected to keep one in splits. Watch it without asking any logics and definitely it's going to be a laugh feast.
Bottomline: Get Ready for Belly Laugh
