Just when you thought that the film was resolving in a pretty decent manner and when all the knots were being untied competently, comes a shocker of a stunt sequence in the climax where the action happens in a bike and a hot air balloon. The length of the movie is a downer too.
To sum up, Lingaa is a mainstream entertainer with some substance, playing to Rajnikanth’s strengths. Low expectations and high patience levels would enable you to enjoy Rajnikanth’s screen persona.
