"Lingaa" is directed by KS Ravikumar. The director and Rajinikanth's Jodi had created magic on-screen at earlier occasions. They were part of blockbuster films like "Muthu" and "Padayappa". So, the expectations are very high from the audience this time. Rajinikanth will be seen in dual roles in "Lingaa".

The story is partially set in the pre-independence era with the subject of the film revolving around the construction of a dam. He has paired up with Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka Shetty in different time periods.

Reviews
The reviews from international audiences have been good. People, who ever has been the film, has given thumbs up to "Lingaa". Rajinikanth's electrifying screen space, the much-hyped train scene, the flashback episode, and the storyline are being praised by them. Santhanam's comedy is a plus point.


"Lingaa" is packed with action, emotional and thrilling moments. KS Ravikumar has loaded the screenplay with punch dialogues.Anushka seems to be eye-candy. But the big drawbacks are said to be the CGI and the climax. People are not happy with the unbelievable action sequence.

Find below the audience reviews.

  • #Lingaa Thalaivar intro scene is rocking especially the actual location. U will understand when you see the movie
  • #Lingaa Anushka looks gorgeous
  • #Lingaa Thalaivar looks sooper! Super dialogues and energetic dance. Awesome! Loving the movie so far
  • #Lingaa @sonakshisinha Eshwara excellent performance. All the best!

Just came back after watching ‪#‎Lingaa‬ A total masala entertainer from KS Ravikumar. Amazing performance from Super Star. Santhanam and Sonakshi have also done well. Anushkha looks awesome! Karunaas - Is he there in the movie? Movie goes senti after the interval. Not many punch dialogues from our Thalaivar but his dance and movements are amazing! I didnt like the makeup at all. Overall a movie to watch if you are a ‪#‎Superstar‬ fan! Didn't like the climax at all due to unbelievable action stunts! Overal 3/5 for the movie! He is a legend and you should watch the movie for him!

Razik4ever Writes
#Lingaa was just good not the best. Flashback portions in the second half much better. Rajini was young and energetic. Anushka just wow
Content is strong enough but screen play lost the pace in some scenes. Rajini takes the film overall. Liked Raja Lingeswaran #Lingaa
Too much artificialness and CG for Rajini. That climax super man stunts are unnecessary even if he is Rajini #Lingaa

#Lingaa - The screenplay and the story of lingaa suits thalaivar's image and he has done awesomely in his own style.
#Lingaa Heroines are just part of the movie- story revolves around thalaivaar he carries it superbly especially his dialogues superbly done
#Lingaa ARR done is part well and good. I wonder how come KSR organised and handled so many people throughout the movie, he alone can do tat
#Lingaa One word - KSR is genius, you will find that while watching this movie, no one else can bring this magic in this time line...
#Lingaa - SUPER STAR title card is awesome and we were awestruck.. brilliantly done, fans gone crazy while watching the bday scene superb...
#Lingaa -last but not least - KSR brilliantly planned bday scene and gave a chance to sing bday song 4 thalaivaar, theatre paduchu overjoyed

#Lingaa 1st half. Its completely #Rajini show. Style studded and Rajini mannerisms and dialogues. Hardcore Rajini fans will love it.
#Lingaa 1st half. Train sequence is the highlight. AR Rahman BGM is in sync wit Thalaivars style and walk. Anushka is ok. Sonakshi seems gud
#Lingaa 1st half. Film is high on production values. Grand sets & authentic feel. Santhanam is gud. Karuna is ok. Its Rajini show al over!
