Like many popular Tamil movies, Lingaa is yet another movie with a social angle. The trend of patronizing movies, wherein the lead sacrifices something for the sake of the society continues. In this case, the lead of the movie is none other than Rajnikanth.
Rajnikanth (Lingaa) is the grandson of Raja Lingeswaran, who didn't leave a stone unturned for the sake of building a dam for the people of Solaiyur in Madurai district of Tamil Nadu. Not only did he resign from his job as a collector under the British Raj, but he mobilized resources including all his personal wealth, expertise as a civil engineer, disbanded social caste unrest to achieve the objective and this made him immensely popular among the locals. Not everything was smooth, however, as the British worked to conspire against his plans. Back in the 21st century, his grandson faces a similar task of saving the town from the evil plans of a local MP.
Rajni, well into his 60s now, looks at least a couple of decades younger. Sonakshi looks comfortable in her role as a 1939 saree clad Tamil female. Santhanam is funny as usual.
Walk into a Rajni movie and you are bound to see some action. What with Rajni flying off bikes off a cliff onto a hot air balloon and kicking a bomb to deflect its course - this movie has its share of Rajni-tics. All said and done, this makes for a decent entertainment on a chilly weekend in Delhi. Enjoy this movie with your cup of coffee. Three stars to this movie.
