Sinam (2022) is a Tamil-language action thriller directed by G. N. R. Kumaravelan, starring Arun Vijay as Sub-Inspector Pari Venkat and Pallak Lalwani as his wife, Madhangi. The film follows Pari, a principled and fearless police officer who leads a peaceful life with his wife and daughter. Tragedy strikes when Madhangi is abducted, brutally raped, and murdered. Devastated, Pari embarks on a relentless quest for justice, uncovering a vast conspiracy involving sex trafficking and corruption within the police and political systems. Despite facing immense personal and professional challenges, Pari’s determination leads him to expose the culprits and ensure they face justice.

Critics have had mixed reactions to Sinam. While Arun Vijay’s performance as the grieving and vengeful cop was praised, the film’s handling of sensitive themes like sexual assault and its portrayal of retribution received criticism. Some reviewers felt the film exploited these issues for emotional impact without offering a nuanced perspective. The screenplay was noted for its predictability and lack of depth in the investigative sequences. Despite these critiques, the film performed moderately well at the box office, recovering its budget and earning a modest profit. However, it faced stiff competition from other releases during its theatrical run.
