Movie : Lingaa
Theater : Rajdhani, Dilsukh Nagar, Hyderabad
Show Time : 9 to 12 PM, 12/12/2014
Theater Feel : 2 out of 5 (5 being best)
Movie Rating : 3 out of 5 (5 being best)
Overall Impact on Audience : 2.5 (5 being best)
Its not just any other movie. This movie is Special. It is Rajnikanth's movie after 4 years. With Ravi Kumar as its Director, It is meant to be a super success for the Superstar.
Whistles start way before the actual movie starts. When the curtains raise, and the titles are On, You can only listen to the non stop Whistles(I personally cant whistle though).
The actual movie starts with team from government drilling a dam to check if it is standard enough to sustain incoming floods. There is a temple just nearby the dam, when Government started drilling the temple, the head of the Village(Singanuru) K Viswanath stops the officials. The very night the official is killed near the temple by Jagapathi Babu, the MP of the constituency and resident of the Village Singanuru. The Very Next day, K Viswanath calls upon entire Village and tells them that he had a dream The kinship of the Raja Lingeswara has to open the temple and search for them. The next take, you see Rajni stepping down a Limo and the start of O Rabba song. The song was choreographed pretty well. The locations were exotic. A good amount of money is definitely spent on the song like any other Rajni's movies. So Audience thought that Rajni is leading a Lavish life some where in the world being son of a Raja. But the next scene after the song reveals what Rajni is doing now. He is in a jail dreaming about traveling around the world.
Rajni does not like his grandfather Raja Lingeswara though he is named after him. He is under impression that his grand had all the Raja Bhoga and left nothing for his father who died as retired school teacher. And Rajni cuts his name to 'Lingaa' and is a thief. Beautiful Anushka Shetty comes to his rescue and bails him out of the jail. Brahmanandam is SI of the sub jail. Very short role and nothing impressive. Anushka is a news reporter and grand daughter of K Viswanath. She came to take Lingaa back to Village. But Lingaa does not. Lingaa steals Anushka's gold chain and sells it to the usual jewelry shop owner where the owner makes a deal with Rajni to steal a 3 crore necklace from a shopping festival. Lingaa steals it and hands over it to the owner. The stealing scene is good and Anushka was indirectly involved in it. The jewelry owner promises to pay 1.5 crore to Lingaa's gang the next day. When Lingaa goes to the shop, He see the police taking the owner to Jail. With no future insight except for being caught by Police, He goes to Anushka and understands that it is a ploy played by her, with no more options he agrees to go to Singanuru to open the temple.
After this there is a theft, Big flashback(lengthiest flashback I have seen), Final fight scene with Jagapathi Babu. That is how movie ends. Just like any other Rajni's movie. Watch out for more in Theater.
Most of the Rajni's Movie follow the same formula like the one below :
1) Grand pa Rajni spends all his wealth for the poor
2) Child Rajni or Grand Child Rajni comes and again rescues the same Village.
Highlights of the movie :
1) Rajni
2) Train Scene
3) Kurnool district repeating multiple times.
4) Construction of Dam and graphics
Thumbs down in the movie :
1) Cant expect Rajni to fight like 20 year old Bruce lee.
2) Weak Story line, would have been a better story a decade ago
3) Music was lackluster, Rahman did not produce enough his least best score.
4) Boring in patches.
5) Not a sound ending.
6) Screenplay looks amiss sometimes.
I think, Rajni has to stop making such movies and do some experimental movies. He should try acting his age in one of the future movies to thrill his fans. I don't like some guy who is not fan of Rajni talk funny about him neither do any other fan.
Whatever, You can watch lingaa if you are fan of Rajni, If you are not, you can watch once.
Verdict : Baba was better than this movie!!!
