While the legal tussle between Rockline Entertainments and Balaji Studios over Lingaa continues, the Rajinikanth-Sonakshi Sinha starrer released on Friday opened to mixed reviews. Apart from Rajini’s trademark style, his ‘heart of gold’ scenes, director KS Ravikumar eats chunk of screen time with his lethargic screenplay.
Especially the second half of the film completely revolves around construction of Singanoor dam which is too tiresome. Whereas, in Chiranjeevi’s Indra Rayalaseema is drought-prone area but there director B.Gopal tactically solved it with a single song. In fact, the same director KS Ravikumar in Padayappa (Narasimha), showed how Rajinikanth turned his hillock into granite and becomes rich in a single song.
Contrary to these in Lingaa, KS Ravikumar put more effort on dam, how it’s constructed, lands issues boring the audience. Had this been avoided, at least fans would have been happy. Even the first half of the film is too slow to sit through. Let’s see whether Rajini pull it off?
