Lingaa Movie Review

Lingaa movie review: Like all his films, it is basically three hours of Rajini Saar doing his thing. And it is three hours of full-on 'masti' and 'mazaa'.

'Lingaa' is made for the fans and definitely it would entertain Rajininakth fans, for others watch it with low expectations.

Linga is a treat for die hard Rajini fans. However, the film has a very predictable story and we suggest you keep your expectations low.

If only the editing of 'Lingaa' had been crisper, over 30 minutes of the film could have been tightened. But the movie belongs entirely to Rajinikanth, no one else.

Whatever the reviews and critics say, no Rajini fan is going to miss this film for sure. For the rest, I would say, it is still a pleasant time-pass entertainment.

'Lingaa' is certain to take an earth-shattering opening as advance booking for the Weekend has been fantastic. In all possibility, It is expected to be biggest opener ever for a South Indian Film.

If you feel the goodwill of Rajini's onscreen character Lingeshwaran help grow the brand aura of real-life Rajini, you know very well the movie has worked on you.

The screenplay of Lingaa skittles from cliché to cliché, packing in every stereotype you can think of. What saves this film from complete disappointment is Rajinikanth the larger-than-life superstar.

If you have seen Rajini films in the past, you would know what to expect. I went into theatre expecting a fun film with a good message and plenty of Thalaivar magic.

Watch it if you are a Rajini fan. Even as a masala commercial, Lingaa entertains.

The audiences may or may not but Rajnikanth surely deserves better. But meanwhile, if you are his fan, Lingaa is a wet dream.

The entire film is low on whistle-worthy moments. Given that this is a Rajini film, we expect punch (and punch dialogues) in the scenes but strangely, the film lacks energy.

Although, Lingaa arguably is one the better films of Rajinikanth in a long time, the actor remains a slave to his trademark mannerisms - which do not allow him to sink into the character.

If you go to watch the film to witness the Rajinikanth mania, you'll be pleased. Otherwise, the cineaste in you will not be assuaged.

Age old story, bad narration, weak sound track makes this three hour long film painfully boring to watch. Lingaa fails to please even the diehard fans of Rajanikanth.

Rajinikanth's mesmerizing energy let down by writing. But give it your time for Superstar's non-diminishing charisma.

The film does test your patience at times, but Rajini papers over those moments with his trademark charm, witty dialogues, and not a bit of help from his gang of thieves.

Rajnikanth movies are known for creating magic on screen with nice story and punch dialogues. Though the intention is to create a good content, the magic in Lingaa is missing.

'Lingaa' gives Rajinikanth a ticket to entertain his fans and he doesn't let them down.

Given all the action packed sequences accorded to the actor known for his kicks and punches, one can't complain much for this piece of masala entertainment, at the least Lingaa will go well with the ardent fans of Rajinikanth.

Like always, the best of Rajinikanth did the magic. His dual performance is highly appreciated. K S Ravikumar gave a three hours treat to all the Rajini fans.
