Let us all agree to the fact that we are discussing Linga and Linga's performance at the BO. Comparing Rajni's star power to Allu Arjun or Vijay would be a sin. Agree to the Fact that the movie would have bitten dust had any other actor did Linga except Rajnikanth

*****Varun Tej`s debut film, Mukunda received good openings all across this Morning. The film has slow start to its early shows but is Pretty good for Regular Shows. It is looking at an around 3Cr AP/N "share" on day 1 going by current trends. The film may not fall in evening too and is expected to do good considering tomorrow is a public holiday.***
In the media NOBODY is neutral these days!

I think the last movie that was screened in Ottawa was Thuppaki. Only Rajini and Vijay movies get screened in major theaters here but recently they did not even screen Kaththi or Lingaa in any one of them. Not even a small one. I called and asked some of the distributes and they told me that they don't get good collection from screening Tamil movies. So it is unlikely we will get a big release. Maybe 'I' might get screened here. We will just have to see.
Finally gotta chance to watch the movie
Watched with almost packed house (I think only Super Star possible after this carpet bombing model adopted). Atmosphere is so electric that made me to enjoy the movie much more.
During my childhood it used to be just Rajni sir's film that we'll watch as family and we still do it. So thanks a lot to Rajni sir for giving us this opportunity.
Coming to movie
I liked it despite ifs and buts
Rajni sir as Raja Lingeshwaran was realy Rajni to me and couldn't agree present day character as Rajni sir at all Because for us image that we have for him is very high so couldn't agree him to be a pity thief.
Rajni Sir looked energetic & young in most of the places but could clearly see body double used even for songs.
about other things
Sorry didn't notice anything except Rajni sir....may be next watch :)
Seems like someone felt almost like how I felt. It is unfortunate we dont have that many "authentic Rajini fans" these days! :lol:Quote:

Authenticaa ? :lol: you continue ! Just to be clear I am not an authentic Rajini Fan !Quote:

Very strange that Lingaa is showing at Big Cinemas Edison again. That gave me the chance to watch it today evening. The theater was almost fully occupied (except perhaps a seat or two here or there). Movie was enjoyable. Younger Rajini is out of shape (relative to his movies post 2000).Quote:

This is just a normal trend for any big releases.
Mukundaa made 3 crores on first day much less than what lingaa made. he claims that mukundaa is a HIT! :lol:
You are claiming that the theater was houseful. That only makes me wonder, whether it is ture! Because it is after 12 days.Quote:

My statement is 100 percent true, give or take 5 percent :) When we discovered that Big Cinemas Edison was showing Lingaa again (at 6:45, maybe one more later, but I am not sure) we reached the place at 6:40 p.m., got our tickets, and entered the cinema hall at about 6:45. The limited capacity room (presumably about 150 to 200) was full except for the first two rows, but these mostly got filled as more people started streaming in. We paid $12 per head. There was cheer for Rajini when the super star title arrived. But the fervor was not that intense, since it is the second week crowd. The movie was good, IMO. Lingeshwaran character is vintage Rajini. The younger one was good too but out of shape (expected, with the illness taking its toll).Quote:

I have noticed a pattern in andraboxoffice. He likes one actor wannabe from tamil and hypes him and plays down the rest including Rajini. Since the arrival of twitter world, everyone is a boxoffice analyst and everyone has a source from the industry. That id never fails to big up telugu boxoffice numbers but if I recall correctly, he is not fond of maheshbabu. I wonder who are his sources. He has sources not only in andra but in TN too. Unbelievable.Quote:

Only thing he could not control is S *'s BIG OPENING in Andhra. Within few days he will say, collection dropped and then he will bring down. This has been happening from Sivaji days.. :)
Seems like someone is upset Lingaa is doing well in US. Bringing some -ve reviews and posting them as usual! :lol:
If anyone notice properly I am not intended to post negative comments but just replying to folks who instead of just enjoying the positive thing together trying to drag others...
my reply is for 'disrepect','auto'..
My initial discussions were all about movie-whether its good/average/bad..for me its average but many people cant tolerate & start bashing..engalukku ennamo pesa theriyaatha maadhri...
They are promoting the Lingaa in Jeya TV. Seems like Sonakshi accepted immediately with a "thank you"! Aushkha too! :)
What KS Ravikumar said in Jeya TV was true though..
When padayappaa came out they said muthu was better and
When Lingaa cane out, they say padaiyappaa was better.
Lingaa would be a better movie only when the next movie of Rajini comes out! :lol:
No comments
Oh.. no KSR & Rajni combo again. Hari & Rajni combo next time may work...
EXIM bank is auctioning Rajini's property as his family has a loan of 22 Crores overdue with the bank !!
Lingaa hindi beat ugly's opening? :lol:

Ugly opened to very poor collections all over of around 5% and faces an uphill struggle at the box office. The film will probably add to the huge list of these similar type of films aimed at the metro multiplex crowd but the audience does just not come, The opening of Lingaa which is dubbed from a Tamil film was better than Ugly****

Ugly, Lingaa (Hindi) Box Office Collections: Friday Opening Report
December 26, 2014 0
Anurag Kashyap’s Ugly which has released in limited screens today in multiplexes has started on a poor note as collections for the morning shows are in the range of 5-10%. The film primarily caters to niche audience which limits the potential of the film in a big way. It will have to show miraculous recovery if it has to leave any mark at the box office.
Superstar Rajinikanth’s Lingaa co starring Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka Shetty has been released in Hindi today and the movie has started poorly at the box office with occupancies in morning shows ranging to around 10-15% , it is performing better than the other Hindi release Ugly but that’s just about it.
Both the new releases this week have an uphill task as the PK Juggernaut marches into its second week with good occupancies even on its 8th day.**************
Lingaa is doing better than other new releases? :)
How its linked with Lingaa??Quote:

The Kochadiyaan movie was directed by Rajnikanth’s Daughter Soundarya Rajnikanth.
Bathroom safe raja?
Oh, I see. Apologies then :) I guess I need to pay close attention to what is going on around here. There is more to it than meets the eye!Quote:
