Singam II is a 2013 Indian Tamil-language action drama film written and directed by Hari. Produced by Prince Pictures, and distributed by 2D Entertainment, it is a sequel to Singam (2010) and the second installment in the Singam trilogy. The film stars Suriya in the main lead role, alongside Anushka Shetty, Hansika Motwani, Danny Sapani, Mukesh Rishi, Rahman, Vivek and Santhanam. The music was composed by Devi Sri Prasad, while cinematography and editing were handled by Priyan and V. T. Vijayan.

Singam II was released on 5 July 2013 and became a commercial success. A sequel titled Si3 was released on 9 February 2017.

Eight months after killing the extortionist Mayil Vaaganam, former police officer Durai Singam goes on an undercover mission working as an NCC master in a Thoothukudi school and studies the illegal activities happening in the city. The only people who know about the operation are the Chief Minister Kumaravel and Home Minister Ramanathan. Sathya is a 12th grade student who falls in love with Singam, though Singam is waiting to marry his lover Kavya. Singam's father Soundarapandi is enraged about him leaving the police force, where he also forbids the marriage between Singam and Kavya, as he fears that Kavya's billionaire father Mahalingam might take Singam away to manage his business empire and that Singam will lose respect with his relatives.

Susai, a local who works as peon at Singam's school, shows the parts of Thoothukudi and tells about the rogue happenings in those places to Singam. Singam requests Ramanathan to transfer his colleagues Erimalai and Damodarai to assist him. Singam later learns that Sathya is the niece of an influential crime boss named Thangaraj, who is involved in Financial and Seaway scams. Thangaraj is in partnership with Bhai, who controls the southeast coastline of Tamil Nadu. Bhai and Thangaraj have connections with the international gangster and drug lord Michael Kong alias Danny. Singam does not know about their connection and keeps Bhai in his off-duty surveillance. Due to a verbal fight in a pub, Bhai's chief Saghayam, a drug importer, kidnaps a girl from another caste after her brother insults him, and holds her ransom until sunset. This causes riots between both gangs in the city, and Singam's school principal has to close the school for the day.

With his connections, Singam takes charge as the new DSP and saves the girl, where he is praised by the public and also forgiven by his father. Sathya learns that Singam and Kavya are strongly in love and distances herself from them. Later, Singam finds out about Thangaraj and Bhai's partnership, where he decides to arrest Saghayam at the harbour, who has brought Danny with him to attend Thangaraj's new hotel party. Sagayam is arrested, along with Danny for insulting the police. Thangaraj tries to make Singam release the duo, but to no avail. Bhai sends an army of goons to bust Danny and Saghayam out of prison. Singam's efforts are spoiled and is suspended for unruly behavior. Singam warns Bhai that he knows about Danny and will return soon. Singam meets Ramanathan at Chennai and proposes plans for an operation to arrest all of Danny's associates in India. Singam is re-appointed and gets his superior suspended. He gets authorization to kill drug dealers on sight even without evidence.

Since the next load of drugs is ready to be delivered by Danny, Bhai decides that Saghayam will deliver the drugs to him in Kerala and will bring it back, but is arrested by Singam. At Singam's engagement function, Mayil Vaaganam's former ally "Harbour" Shanmugam informs him that Thangaraj has hired goons to attack his family that night. Singam fights the goons himself where he places a drug bag inside Thangaraj's house and imprisons him. The next day, Singam learns that Sathya is dead by consuming poison, despite previously being told by Singam about her uncle's illegal activities. He realises that she didn't die by suicide, but Thangaraj killed her as she knew the truth and to save Danny. Enraged, Singam seeks permission from Ramanathan for traveling to South Africa as his marriage with Kavya will take place in three days. Singam arrives in the country and joins Major Kyle Ambrose and the police to confront Danny, who has taken sanctuary with a Durban-based don Alex. Singam and the Durban police chases them, where he defeats Alex's and Danny's men and during the chase Alex gets killed. After a long fight, Singam confronts Danny in his ship and arrests him. Singam drags Danny and puts him back to the same cell from which he escaped and made him realise the power of Indian Police. Singam reunites with Kavya and gets promoted to DCP for his efforts.
