Singaravelan (/sɪŋɡɑːrəveɪlən/) is a 1992 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film[2] written and directed by R. V. Udayakumar from a story by Panchu Arunachalam.

It revolves around a villager who is tasked with locating his urbanite cousin and marrying her, with the intention of reuniting their separated family.

Though the film attained cult status in Tamil cinema, it received criticism in later years for glorifying misogyny, sexism and stalking.

To prove her wrong, Velan sings a song while adorned with various musical instruments, but Sumathi insults the performance.

Velan attempts to attract Thaiyamma, Sumathi's guardian, by visiting her house daily.

Sumathi's uncle Natesan, a retired IG, visits Velan to warn him to stop teasing his niece.

There, he realizes his father is Kaliannan Gounder, an industrialist who disowned him due to his passion for music.

Their love becomes strong when Sumathi hears that Velan is very serious at a hospital as he was attacked by some men hired by Natesan as he lied about being the son of an industrialist.

[14] The Indian Express wrote, "The script betrays an episodic approach, but [Kamal Haasan] carries himself with poise in a role that does not make much demands on him, except for some spirited dancing and singing, and the pack of comedians made up of Goundamani, Charlie, Vadivelu and Manorama, despite some ridiculous attempts at humour off and on, make a generally good impression.

"[15] Sriram of Vannathirai appreciated Udayakumar for giving a different kind of masala film starring Haasan.

[5] The scene where the title character and his friends visits a computer centre to digitally visualise what Sumathi would look like in present-day gained popularity for its comedy.
