Reviews
Critical reception of "Lingaa" was mixed, with many reviewers praising Rajinikanth's charismatic performance and star power but expressing disappointment over the film's narrative and pacing. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.6/10 based on viewer votes, reflecting a divided audience response. Critics from The Times of India gave the movie 3 out of 5 stars, noting that "Rajinikanth shines in his dual roles, but the screenplay often feels inconsistent and stretched." Rediff.com highlighted the film's spectacular visuals but felt the storyline lacked the depth expected from a Rajinikanth starrer. While fans enjoyed the trademark stylized action scenes and the emotional core, some felt the plot was formulaic and hindered by outdated tropes. Rotten Tomatoes does not list a critic score for "Lingaa," but audience reviews tend to range from enthusiastic praise for Rajinikanth's presence to calls for a tighter narrative and fresher storytelling. Overall, "Lingaa" is viewed as a film that caters largely to Rajinikanth's fan base yet fails to fully satisfy wider critical expectations.
