But then again, the film has everything a Rajinikanth fan could ask for. Superbly-choreographed fight sequences, funny dialogues, his old tricks and mannerisms, his larger-than-life persona, and plenty of drama. This is the space where Rajinikanth belongs – and he rules it. In fact, there are several references of other characters urging King Lingeshwara to join politics. “Sir, you can be a great CM, PM,” the say to him with heart-felt sincerity. Suggestible? Only time will tell.
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.
