Lingaa poster from Facebook
The image from KSR's Facebook page (lingaa.jpg), which shows stills of KSR, Rajini, Sonakshi, Anushka, and Rahman, is not an appropriate representation of the film, especially for the infobox. It is just a publicity graphic and the images of the actors do not reflect the way they are portrayed in the actual film (for example, the image of Rajini is from Sivaji). Please refrain from adding it back and wait till an official production poster is available. EelamStyleZ // TALK 06:21, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Separate information on Box Office Collection
I would like to suggest that the information on box office collection is kept separate from the critical response to the film. As the current information may not be accurate given that the movie is ongoing at present. Based on http://www.ibtimes.co.in/rajinikanth-lingaa-first-day-collection-ap-telangana-box-office-616960 & http://www.ibtimes.co.in/lingaa-box-office-collection-rajinikanths-film-makes-huge-openings-set-beat-vijays-kaththi-617051 the movie seems to have a better collection rate as opposed to what is indicated in the article as "below average" takings.

I believe the box office collection information has an updated source : http://www.ibtimes.co.in/lingaa-box-office-collection-rajinikanth-starrer-creates-new-record-worldwide-beats-kaththi-617111 This reference would not qualify as a " below average in box office from the audience" as stated in the 3rd paragraph.

 * support replacement of  of "and received mixed to negative reviews and below average in box office from the audience.[6]" from the lead with content per Talk:Lingaa The source in our article does not verify the Box Office claim and the IB Times above refutes the box office claim. The source currently in the article is merely reposting of fan tweets, something that we dont care about.
 * per the source above,support inclusion of "The film had an opening weekend box office collection of ₹37 crore world wide and becomw  one of the top grossing Tamil films in the United States earning USD$806,910
 * On December 15, 2014, The International Business Times ran a story about fraudulent reports that had been circulating that Lingaa had reached a box office number of 100 crore its first weekend, on December 16, it estimated a world wide first weekend box office of  ₹80 crore.
 * Changed "received mixed to negative reviews and below average in box office from the audience" to "received mixed reviews". Best to wait a few days for definitive box office data. -- Diannaa (talk) 03:53, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Change the error regarding reviews and performance at box office. Change the text "and received mixed to negative reviews and below average in box office from the audience" to ",but despite receiving mixed reviews from various critics, the film performed exceptionally well in the box office."

The film did NOT do poorly in box office. It also did not receive negative reviews; it received "mixed" reviews.
