Pune: We are almost sure that today is one of those days where young Rajinikanth fans won't mind getting out of bed early. On the auspicious occasion of the Thalaiva's birthday, fans from all around the world are getting ready to see their hero on the big screen after four long years.
Going by the trailers, 'Lingaa', directed by KS Ravikumar is set in two eras -- a pre-independence British era, and the present-day world. Co-starring actresses Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka Shetty, the music for 'Lingaa' has been composed by AR Rahman.
Will Rajinikanth's latest film break Box Office records yet again? Will his fans get a new reason to cheer him? Will we finally get to the bottom of the most important question -- is there nothing Rajini can't? Prajakta Hebbar from IBNLive.com is in the theatre, waiting to find out.
8:27 AM All right, folks! Stay tuned for the Tweet Review of #Lingaa by @imsopraj. First day, first show!
8:33 AM Look at this eager bunch of @superstarrajini fans! This is one "enthu-cutlet" crowd in #Pune :D #Lingaa
8:47 AM We're in a difficult position today. Can barely hear the dialogues with all the hooting and cheering. Might as well join in! Woohoo! #Lingaa
8:55 AM Woah! @superstarrajini makes a kick-ass entrance in a slick ride. 64 yrs old or not, he's got some smooth dance moves in the song #OhNanba
9:06 AM #Lingaa opens with a village contemplating the reopening of an ancient temple. But they need the heir of their King Lingeshwaram to do it
9:07 AM We are totally going to try to make #Lingaa's catchphrase #ComeOnBoys happen :D
9:13 AM All the swag aside, @superstarrajini's is not known for his comic timing. But he's hilarious in #Lingaa! Hahaha!
9:17 AM Not to exaggerate or anything, but @superstarrajini's jewellery heist in #Lingaa is as awesome #OceansEleven. Very desi, very quirky.
9:22 AM Everybody in #Lingaa urges him to join politics. "You'll be great as a CM, PM". Suggestive? ;)
9:26 AM Special effects/sets in the song #MonaGasolina are hilariously quirky -- old saloons, pirate ships. @arrahman's tune is super catchy too.
9:30 AM Hehe. We like #Lingaa's style of twirling his hair when he's about to come up with some diabolical idea.
9:36 AM #AnushkaShetty looks fresh and adequate as #Lingaa's love interest.
9:39 AM #Lingaa credits announced that all elephants featured in the film are computer generated. But we could hardly tell. Very realistic.
9:42 AM Okay. In one scene, @superstarrajini stares a snake into submission. #Lingaa
9:48 AM We're happy to see that #Lingaa makers have got even the tiny details right in the flashback version of the story, set in the 1930s.
9:50 AM Not just costumes and sets, but even the cricket bat @superstarrajini uses to beat up the goons is of the older era. #Lingaa
10:03 AM "I haven't failed, I have just postponed my success," says @superstarrajini to a British Govt officer. Word. #Lingaa
10:28 AM #Lingaa pace has slowed slightly with the arrival of Sonakshi Sinha.
10:47 AM So @superstarrajini is tackling issues like casteism, racism, women's rights, famine, patriotism, and superstition in #Lingaa
11:08 AM #Lingaa could have benefitted from some crisp editing post-interval. Sigh. We liked the drama and the patriotic speeches, but.
11:19 AM There's a scene in #Lingaa where @superstarrajini feeds his enemies with delicious home-cooked food. They swallow it with tears of regret.
11:34 AM .@superstarrajini climbs a bike to chase the goons, the entire movie hall hoots, screeches & thumps. Can't hear the dialogues again. #Lingaa
11:39 AM Wow. #Lingaa climax. All the laws of physics were awesomely surpassed by @superstarrajini in at least 10 ways. Mind = EXPLODED
11:46 AM A complete entertainer, #Lingaa could have benefitted with better editing.
11:48 AM #SonakshiSinha, #AnushkaShetty, and the supporting cast was mere that -- a pretty decoration for @superstarrajini. #Lingaa belongs to him.
11:49 AM There were many times we wondered if certain scenes would be applicable IRL. But only @superstarrajini could pull them off. #Lingaa
11:50 AM Thank you for staying with us throughout the Tweet Review of #Lingaa. Let's all get going and celebrate Thalaivar's birthday now.
