What are the Highlights?

• Obviously Rajinikanth is a Biggest Highlight of this film, He is So Handsome and Energetic in this film, This character is a Cake walk to him and he lived in the role.
• Santhanam done a friend role of Rajinikanth and Brought Some Laughs at Parts
• Art Work of the film Done by Sabu Cyril is Simply Amazing and Outstanding, Each and Every fame that he designed was done with an Utmost Care, Even the sets in the songs like O Rabba and Mona Mona looks Colorful and Dam Set and 1940's Locations are Awesome
• Ar Rehaman Songs are Not Upto the Mark but BGM is Good
• Cinematography by Ratnavelu has brought a Grand Look for the film
• Many Scenes in Flashback are Good and the Charecter of Lingeswara Resemblances Original character of Rajinikanth
• Emotional Scenes in Second Half came out very well
• The Robbery Scene of Necklace is Good and Funny
• K S Ravi Kumar Direction is Good At Parts
• Dialogues are Meaningful Creates a Great Impact
• Climax planned in a Rajini Style, Its a funny Climax as well as a Big Minus for the film
• First Half Runs with the Hilarious Comedy between Santhanam and Rajinikanth
• A Fight Scene in Flashback entrance was good 
• A Scene where Village people search for Lingeswara and Founds in a Small Village is Good
• Movie has a Good Commercial Elements and Family Elements
• Production Values are Top Knotch, Makers doesn't hesitated in Shelling out the Bucks
• Indian Ai Raa Song is Fantastic on Screen

What Gone Wrong With this film?

• Anushka looks fat and Grand which doesnt suit for Rajinikanth, Sonakshi Sinha looks pale and he doesn't suit for the role she roped for. Even Dubbing by Singer Chinmayi doesn't suits her
• This is Just a Cameo Role for Brahmanandam and failed to Bring Laughs
• Jagapathi Babu Role Wasted and His Character is Not Justified
• The Man who roped for the British President role doesn't looks powerful
• Another Big minus for the film is Screenplay, As the movie has a very long run time the screenplay that played by the direction brings some boredom at parts
• Director Failed at some parts
• There are Many Scenes which are Unecessary extended which increased the length of the film
• Climax Planned in a Silly way, This is a biggest mistake done by Director when Movie runs in a Serious Phase, Its enjoyable but still it kills the movie flow
• VFX is Worst at Peaks, Its not Expected for this kind of Big Budget film
• Oo Manmadha song is not good it remembers Puvvalle Navvul Navvul Song in Shivaji
• There are Some Silly Logic less Scenes in the film particularly in first half
• Editing is Not Good

Finally What i Say?

Finally Linga is a Perfect choice to Enjoy yours weekend, Just enter into the theater with zero expectations and You will not disappoint, Value for your money. Rajinikanth fans likes this movie a lot and Normal audience may like the Flashback episode which is nearly half of the film which picturized with the amazing Art
