6/10
Seriously...

Warning: Spoilers
I went to see this movie with my family, I didn't have I expectations but I was totally unprepared for the horror that awaited. The movie, in my opinion, was the worst movie this year. The beginning was a bit funny, thanks to Santhanam's comedy, but the flashback was a disaster. I know there are many kind people in the world, but come on, who in their right minds would be kind enough to lose their post, all their wealth and their status all for some people whom they've never met before? Actually, I was sort of rooting for the evil British guy, because he was WAY MORE likable. Sonakshi Sinha was very irritating and the whole plot was sort of unbelievable, and not in a good way. The ending was even worse! The filmmakers rushed the end way too quickly, with not enough time to get to know the main villain all that well. I know Superstar is old, but was it necessary to put in all that jumping and prancing around. And there were loads of goofs too, such as:

1. When Lingaa is hiding with Anushka in the cupboard, Anushka accidentally steps out. The CCTV camera would have picked this up and when the police review the CCTV footage, they would have seen her. Yet, the police do not call her for an inquiry.

2. After he stole the necklace, he put it on Anushka and walked out in a crowd. There had to be some guards nearby and even if there weren't, it's very unlikely that nobody saw the huge necklace and wondered why someone would be wearing a priceless necklace in the middle of the night for no apparent reason.

3. When he was trapped in the temple, he was wearing his normal clothes, the temple is dusty and full of cobwebs and there is no source of fire. But, when the temple opened, he was wearing a dhoti, the temple looks good as new and they had fire (even if there was a fire source, it is highly unlikely that it would still function after 70 years).

4. Why did the villain bring Anushka on the hot air plane? I know he loved her and all, but by then, he had known she was on Lingaa's side, so he must have guessed she would try to stop him.

5. At the end the police forgive Lingaa for theft and just ask him to come for an inquiry because he was "royalty". He was a thief who stole a priceless jewel and eluded police capture, yet the police are very kind to him.

These are only some of the faults in this movie, so do yourselves a favor and DON'T WATCH this movie.
