The much awaited
movie which is said to be equivalent (if not the best) from Rajinikanth’s
previous hit – Bashaa have been released!
Released on 12th December (obviously they chose the
“thalaiva’s” date of birth!).
The movie starts off
with a song with straight line of rib/belly bearing hot chicks from god knows
where donned in a skimpy, teeny weeny leather suit (Much to the delight of the
audience who started whistling even before Rajini even appeared!- this is also
called as eye-candy)
Ok now the storyline
– There was a small village called Solaiyur , where Lingaa’s grandparents and parents
are originated from . As the flashback shows (yes flashback!) Solaiyur was
suffering from severe drought.
But before the discovery
of the village’s condition, there was a prince name Raja Lingeswaran
who was at that time was very educated and by education was an engineer was
serving in the British army. He made his usual rounds and knew that he need to
help the people of Solaiyur (all heroes have this heroic criteria of helping
the needy, ahem), Next, during the meeting (some sort of meeting with the
ministers within the British goverment), Raja Lingeswaran
proposes that the village need to build a Dam (and mind you this is after he
witness an entire family jumped inside a dried well through his binoculars-
some crazy shait). The family committed suicide as they do not have any food
and supplies to sustain their growing family. British refuses to help and so
Raja Lingeswaran used his own money and with the help of the entire village
constructed the entire dam (again in stress that he was by education a
certified engineer).
The usual took a turn – the dam was
constructed, the villagers were very rich and had full resources to man their
own crop and entire living with the help of the dam as it provided never ending
source of water, but yes the twist! (They call it intermission in most tamil
movies), Raja Lingeswaran was thrown out of the village and live a life of a
common man (How ungrateful!)
Anyway, back in the real age, Lingaa is
the decendant of Raja Lingeswaran (note that his name is Lingaa – which is
short for Lingeswaran – he was named after his grand daddy). He was summoned to
go back and help as there was a very evil MP (as we expected- the villain!) Who wants to get the benefit from the dam that
was previously constructed by Lingaa’s engineer grand pappy. So yeah –
corruption happen since those days. Initially reluctant to help – as he was a
very “talented thief” in the city, he did agree ‘finally” after seeing the hot
and spicy belly bearing Anushka who bail him out from jail wearing saree (yeah
they can’t resist that)
Entire storyline was interesting BUT...
Yeah the BUT. It wasn’t as what everyone expected to be, the way it was done
fall short of expectation, there wasn’t any UHMPH impact as in Bashaa. but I’m
sure Rajini is not going to complaint much as within 3 days the movie raked in 34
crores – which is equivalent to RM 18 million(gulp!- I won’t be able to see
that much in my entire lifetime ) .
All in all, it is still a good watch
especially during this rainy season and all hail thalaiva!
