Analysis:
The film has a good mix of comedy and thrill. P Vasu has shown his mark in directing these thrillers and remaking the Kannada hit number. Raghava Lawrence's role has comedy, dances exactly what his fans want from him. The comedy part will be much more than what it is in the Original. Raghava Lawrence has given his 100% as a strict CID officer and it will be thrilling to see him solving the case. Ritika's glamour adds to the film who also did a great job as his wife and particularly in the interval scene, she did an excellent work.
The film has some interesting sequences which came out as good and gripping. At times, the technical team could have elevated the film with their work but major missing of that happened in the film. The film raises some good points but they were not executed well which is a minus point. The performances are the major highlight in the movie.
In terms of the technical aspects, the film is a bit dull but still, the makers have tried to generate a nice output. Except for the Sivalinga theme song, there is no other song which is appealing. The Cinematography of the film by Sarvesh Murari is colourful. The editing by Suresh is neat. The graphic works are good.The director is successful in scaring the audiences.
On a final note, the film Sivalinga is appeared to be an entertaining one with the right mix of comedy and horror. The viewers will enjoy the tale till the end. It can be regarded as the fourth part of Muni series and the film has similarities in many ways. It will a good one for this weekend to have fun.
