Lingaa Movie Critic Reviews
The Power of a lead character
In Lingaa, my favourite segment is when Rajinikanth’s character in the flashback sequence the King Lingeswara who build a dam for his people but is forced to live in penury, explains what being a king really is.
And for exactly those two minutes, there is a certain brilliance that unfolds.
Of course, you might call me crazy and say the best Rajini bits in the movie were elsewhere ...

Just average
Lingaa follows the same tried and tested formula of KS Ravikumar where a comic- casual present situation built up with an epic flashback portions where Raja Lingesawaran was shown as a messiah for Cholayoor village, his character was inspired from British engineer John Pennyquick who built the Mullai Periyaar dam.

The VFX in the climax are tacky and clearly indicates that things were done in a jiffy ...

Strictly for Rajini Fans
Lingaa has pleasing moments to satisfy the Rajinikanth fan in you but the cineaste in you is not properly taken care of. Unlike KS Ravikumar - Rajinikanth's previous outings, Lingaa has an unexciting storyline with less elements of thriller, but it does offer an entertaining movie-watching experience in a small-scale ...

Lingaa - First Day First Show Fan Review
For all those of you who grew up on a heavy diet of Rajini movies...through his latest movie the super star seems to say two things straight. ..one....I am back and two..I am double energetic...Linga seems to have Rajinikanth written all over it from start to finish...The stylish intro song features the star at his youthful best...the film seems to run purely on the power of the man..the notable ingredients of a rajini movie like finger swashing percussion effects...stylish slow motion walks wit ...
