A thief – a smart one at that – has a rich history to his background, contrary to his current condition. Named after his grandfather, Lingeshwaran is one of the classiest robbers, in association with his friends. But he is also wanted by folks of Solaiyur, for reopening an age old temple. Curious and clueless about why his grandfather is praised so much, Linga is finally forced to agree to visit the village. The young lad eventually learns that his grandfather was the one to revive the life and livelihood of the entire village, with his own money. But flashing back, Lingeshwaran is a wealthy king with a heart singularly aimed at serving people. Why and how did the king be misunderstood?
The film travels fast and consistent through the first half, starting from Linga’s dreamy introduction and his classic jewellery robbery, to the king’s challenge in the flashback. However, there is a notable lack in charisma.
Wait for the second half to bring your energy back, true Rajini style!
