[Tamil Movie] Lingaa (Rajinikanth Latest Movie)
The first song in Lingaa shows Rajinikanth flouncing his long jacket in different parts of the world and at one point, if the subtitles are to be believed, he sings, "Pal, don't lose control of your sense." Too late, sir. This Pal lost that battle a long time ago. To some, the greatest evidence of my lost and still-not-found sense is that I watched Enthiran twice. Like in Enthiran, Rajinikanth has a double role in Lingaa, the Tamil superstar's first release in four years. However, KS Ravikumar's film isn't quite bonkers enough to be hailed as the best Rajinikanth film. It is, however, ridiculous enough to make you burst out in giggles every few minutes for the better part of Lingaa's 175 minutes. Lingaa (Rajinikanth) is a petty thief and grandson of Raja Lingeswaran, who is revered in the village of Solaiyur because he built a dam and a temple back in 1939. When an engineer is stabbed to death with a deer antler in 2014, one of the elderly gents in the village says that it's imperative that Raja Lingeswaran's descendant be brought back to Solaiyur. Why? Because, dude, Rajni.
The problem is that Lingaa hates his grandfather because the raja left his descendants with nothing but poverty. This is why he calls himself Lingaa instead of Lingeswara, which is his original name. Personally, I'd wonder about any person who voluntarily chose to call himself Lingaa, given its phallic connotations, but that's just me trying to not lose control of my sense. In order to get Lingaa to Solaiyur, KS Ravikumar's screenplay neatly and studiously copies the central trick of William Wyler's How To A Steal Million. Rajinikanth plays Peter O'Toole — and that there, ladies and gentlemen, sums up so much of the tragedy that encircles being an Indian man, woman and/or screenwriter. Our Audrey Hepburn is Anushka Shetty, who plays Lakshmi, a Solaiyur resident who is determined to take Lingaa back to the village.
