Forced LCU? 🙈 | Leo Movie Review | Thalapathy Vijay | Lokesh Kanagaraj | LCU 

Lokesh created something magical with the end credits of Vikram. Don’t think even lokesh can surpass the rolex scene and the high it ended the viewers with.

the beautiful thing about Vikram is we stepped into theatres wanted to see a film and got awestruck to see this is a spin off in LCU universe- I believe all the films must have that kind of nuance and not a forced installment.

I don't think Hyena was kept part of this movie was just for the theater experience or to give a mass cameo like Shivanna in Jailer to receive audience whistle. The Hyena exactly represents Parthiban's character in the movie and the way Thalapathy carried it was just awesome. Writing a opening of the flim is a art. Lokesh always establish whats is the nature of those characters very well in opening itself for example Master opening with shot for both JD & Bhavani's leg to show how the characters walk and how stable they are. Here coming to Hyena there is direct dialogue reference by Parthiban himself like "Hyenas always prefer to live in packs and if a hyena is alone here then it might have went lost" (Representing Leo) & "It is running out of fear but people mistakes it and try to hunt it down" and this is what exactly happens to Parthiban rest of the flim🫡❤️ And all perfectly connected to the last "Subramani" scene💥.

Just watched LEO, I usually agree with Jammy's take on movies. BUT NOT THIS ONE. Leo was an Out and Out entertainer. I did not find movie going down in 2nd half Infact i found it maintaining same grip across its running time. Its a must watch. Loki delivered again. Also Anirudh understood the assignment and has done the fab job especially the english tracks they blended so well with screenplay.

And the hyena is symbolic of Leo. A social animal that can be petted, but when is away from its family and attacked, it gets brutal. The hyena episode is a foretelling of Vijays life.

The hyena didn't just exist.... It showcased a deeper theme, as the hyena which is a pack animal being alone and amidst innocent ppl after losing its pack. which is a parallel to Thalapathy's character being a violent guy who had a pack but now alone among innocent people...

The Hyena is a metaphor for the Vijay's character which you realise after the movie ends. "A deadly wild beast that usually stays with its family/pack, gets separated and lands in a peaceful valley among innocent people. It changes its ways when cared for. And finally brings out its inner beast (true nature) when its new family was in danger." A perfect connection between Vijay's character and the Hyena. The Hyena's entry in the climax worked for me. A very intelligent work by tge director i would say. And i like how the director choose the Hyena. It being the natural enemy of the Lion ♌. I have been watching your videos for long now and really like your work. But was surprised that you weren't able to make this out and called the Hyena irrelevant. Also, the Hyena's CGI was beautiful and the car chase's videogamish CGI looked deliberate. Should wait and watch what the director has to say about it. Also, the LCU aspect didn't look forced to me. Its like the director took the MCU way, the whole movie belonged to Leo; much like a character introduction. And finally was being recruited to join Vikram's force. The director has already made it clear the Rolex is the main villian in LCU. And it'll be interesting to see how Vikram, Dhilli, Leo and Amar tackle him. We don't even know if Santhanam is actually dead. So, there's that. So, the weak villian aspect is definitely not going to be a problem when looked at LCU as a whole. Edit after 2nd watch: There’s this song playing in the background which goes “inga villain yaaru da” which translates to “who is the villain here”. Also, after killing Harold, Vijay’s character says “I haven’t done anything good in the past to talk about it”. So, it’s like the protagonist and the antagonist of the movie are the two shades of Vijay itself. And the rest of the characters are just playing along. Also, we don’t even know if the flashback narrated to Joshi is actually true. It’s neither narrated by Leo or the Das brothers. Also, parallelly Trisha is being told another narrative by a so called childhood friend of Parthi. By the end of the movie we realise that story is made up and there’s no reason not to be believe what Joshi was told also could be made up. Also, the guy who gave the flashback peek to Joshi just told him about what happened on a single day in 1999 and not the entire picture. Also, do you think Anurag Kashyap would have agreed to play that 5 seconds role. I feel he could have a meatier role in the upcoming movies from LCU which could show us the actual past of Leo. Leo and Rolex are almost of the same age and it is very much possible that they would have crossed paths in their younger days. (Rolex says it took him 25 years to build his empire and Leo had been gone for 20 years) Lokesh could also be cooking up some spinoff series connected to LCU. He did say that in one of his interviews. I don’t see any other reason for using Anurag in this movie. I would love it if you could have a second watch considering these points and make a detailed analysis.

Better than the cgi animal ...they could have integrated Dilli in the climax ...and that could have made sense too with the constable already present

The thing with vikram was that no one expected it to be connected with kaithi but with leo lokesh couldn't suprise us the way vikram did, it may be because of the pressure of continuation of LCU

The movie is still enjoyable. The intensity and the high moments come down in the second half, but it was really good to see the movie with no punch lines and unwanted commercial elements. Loved Vijay's performance, had a better scope in this movie unlike his last couple of movies.

Thalapathy Vijay's "Leo" was the main focus of the film. The story was more so about a man protecting his last chance to redeem his past mistakes and the limits he can go to. It wasn't a Hero vs villain story. It's more a question about what a person is willing to become to protect what he has built with his heart and soul

Literally each & every character out of nowhere becoming a part of a universe in Indian cinema is a SCAM now. Feeling the same for Rohit shetty's cop universe as well

so called Indian critics comparing every South Indian movies with that so called chhapri pathan and jawaan and claiming that those movies were better.. I mean the BGM and theatrical experience of these South Indian movies>> tatti bollywood

Why do you feel the retro song fight scene was forced? That song was not just for the sake of it, it was used to catch the attention of the spree killer. Without that song playing in Tamil the spree killers attention wouldn't have been caught and he could have gone to any other shop. Lokesh gave a reason for why he chose that shop among all others.

I don't think the LCU aspect was forced, it's the characterisations of villains that were weak. Just a constable is enough to bring the hooting in theatres, such is the foundation of LCU. If they have concentrated more on the flashback, the payoff would have been better. Nevertheless, theatre experience was mad maxx, this was miles ahead than whatever the shit Atlee cooked with Vijay post Theri!

i dont understand why everyone is saying "forced lcu" when all Lokesh did was bring 1 single character Napoleon to the story and a single phone call with Vikram...If he really wanted to force ,he could have just brought Rolex or Vikram or Dilli throughout the movie

Leo is the first movie where Lokesh had to visualize a character's backstory. In all the other films, the lead characters have a mystery surrounding them. Leo doesn't have that. Personally, I enjoyed the movie except for that 15 minutes flash back. If that portion was really impressive we wouldve got a masterpiece.

Its funny how many of us become movie critics overnight (*ahem* comment section) . Firstly, no hype was generated by the movie makers or the actors themselves. We generated our own theories , LCU, blah blah and sorts and built our own hype and expectations. The movie connected for some and didn't for some. Well what can we do about it , rant all possible alternate ways of the story? Cook more theories? What will it amount to anyway? . Vikram was a masterpiece , given its element of surprise. LCU was coined by the same people who are criticizing Leo. So if there is anyone to blame here, its the audience. The day Loki announced Leo, people went rampant on LCU . And now when they got what they wanted , they expected it to be more organic and have that same element of surprise.Seriously???

Although I've not seen leo but for me Vikram became a very good movie at the interval. I was watching it on tv and the interval almost shook me out of my sleep and then came 2nd half and various reveals with it and then climax and post credit scene. I was utterly shocked and happy at the Choice i made. It's kind of poetic how many of lokesh's movies changes drastically after the intervals.

Wish your review had the same genuinity for Jawan and the crap Pathaan also!

Second half was not as strong as the 1st half for sure, but it isn't so bad how you describe it bro. There is an audience for every part of this movie, and Lokesh has catered to everyone's needs. But yes Vijay was fire af..

The naa ready dance sequence man🙈; how can he be so much elegant,energetic,dynamic,enlightening..respect👏..THALAPATHY💪

I feel it is Lokesh's least enjoyable film but not a very bad thing as it was just fine overall..we did expect it to be much more though

Personally i really liked the movie. The first half was excellent. Second half flashback scenes were average. The climax and tail end was awesome. Vijay gave one of his best career performance.Overall a good theatre experience for me.

So many plot holes.... Why does this movie even exist? 1. Sanjay dutt wants to sacrifice one of twin kids and vijay is against it and says he'll kill everyone if they touch her but he won't take revenge but goes on to live another life 😂.. 2. Sanjay wanted to sacrifice one of his twin kids, girl died... Why do they want leo now? He burned the factory? Well it was going fine... All they want is for him to acknowledge he's the son? 😅 3. Vijay asks for a Tamil police, really? You think Tamil Nadu will send police to other state because their state guy is in trouble? 😂 4. Indian village people will kill tiger, lion and cheetah if the forest officer doesn't show up soon to tranquilize it and take it back, but here they can't beat a hyena? 😂 If anyone knows about hyena, they won't charge larger beings without their pack.. 5. Ek DNA test karalete, chutiyee..... Pata chal jatah ki beta Hai ki nai... How many dead bodies just to prove he's leo? 6. Vijay has 0 feelings for her twin sister and he simply moved on... That was cold though.... 😂 Who the fckkk wrote the script? Kya phook keh likha tha script Banchood...

I think we should stop comparing other movies to LEO , this time i dont really agree with tired and refused , and this was my point of view guys !

Now I have my trust issues on Salaar 😂

Lost respect the way you put the tag line and all .. not watching anymore

In my opinion the movie was very clean script wise. Hyena was a methaphor for Leo. And the cgi was pretty solid.

The biggest flaw with this movie is it is lacking on staging the emotions between the vijay and his family. Vikram’s biggest plus point is the bonding between Kamal and his grandson which resonates till the climax. Hope Lokesh will do 100% Lokesh film with THALIVAR 👍👍👏👏

So, Kaithi is still the best film so far by Lokesh... hopefully Kaithi 2 will surpass all the expectations with Karthi & Suriya together🔥🔥 on screen. 🤞🤞

I just felt that, he left too too many things in the story half told. He didnt explore how Leo got the drugs across the border, he didnt explore the past fully, he didnt explore the connections to Vikram... All of these and many more small small stories were half covered and left, which I guess is to be covered in Kaithi 2, Vikram 2 and Rolex. But I just feel at least *some* of these stories shouldve been fully explored... And what you said about Antony and Harold is absolutely right about how rushed the past was and how that most anticipated part became the weakest... I feel so sad for Vijay, he broke all his bounds, he swore, he gave stunts, he cried, he danced, he sang, he did everything PERFECTLY..... Perfect example of a hero saving a movie... I still think there is hope tho, that many half filled plots left of leo's past can be covered well in the next LCU movies... Fingers crossed

Spoilers !!!! When it comes to the 2nd half, the narration became slower due to the flashback and it is understandable as the flashback is necessary for the story. But the flashback was short and chemistry between the Das family isn't properly established unlike the Parthibhan family. One thing I understood is that the flashback was there to make the protagonist realise that the criminal family he was born to didn't even have even an iota of humanity, which he realised when his twin soul sister Elsa (played by Madonna Sebastian) was stabbed to death. So he firmly believed that Leo Das was dead and he had nothing to do with the Das family further. This is how I perceived the 2nd half.

Bruh are you a Vijay hater or something😡😡...like have some sense ...this movie is exceptional don't just spoil it by spreading sesnesless negativity . Had high respect for you but now only got to know your also paid by those haters

Jammy is the new critic of Indian Cinema who is just ranting and crying for Art-house/artistic/theatrical cinema... But.. But.. But... #Jawan 😅

The BGM was actually really good. Before watching the movie, music/songs may seem not so great compared to other soundtracks like Vikram or Jailer or Master. But on a bigger screen with amazing action sequence Anirudh's music has really lifted those scenes. Second half was little fast paced, but I really enjoyed the movie.

Leo would have it's repeat re-watch value, not only in Theatres but also in satellite re-runs also, after Master (Varisu and Beast would've had huge BO numbers but not much repeat value on TV as well).

Was really impressed by Vijay's efforts and acting❤ And like you said, I was really impressed by 1st half, 2nd half could have been better but I don't wanna get really critical cause sometimes even the best can make mistakes....

Same opinion, LCU part was well established in the first half itself but in the end they could have made some changes like making a connection between the man who call Vijay in the end. For eg:- He could have been the one who helped Vijay 20 year's ago to live a peaceful life by erasing every records about him as we know he is someone capable of doing that and thereby making a connection between them so him asking a favour for what he did 20 years ago wouldn't have made it look forced. That would have solved the loophole of the backstory too on why he decided to live a normal life without getting back at them immediately. I tried my best to not spoil it entirely 😂 Anyway Vijay deserved better for giving it all 😢❤❤🔥🔥🔥

Maybe I am in minority but i am getting a fatigue of mass action movies and forced cinematic universe

I hope the film may have fleshed out way well if lokesh was taken more time in the writing stages and preproduction because I feel the movie was completed in a very quick span and this had affected the movie. Even in a interview Neslon had said that beast can be turned out well if had spent more in the writing and due to improper availability dates and futher linesup of movies of vijay and pressure to complete the movie quickly had into turned into mess. I think the hustle in the casting the superstar and completing the movie shoot in a less timespan has turned out the mixup in second half. I hope it should be not same case in Prashant neel's Salaar. I hope the best comeback of lokesh in Thalaivar 171

I just got done watching the movie on Netflix and I highly agree, the second half let the movie down.The cafe scene was the highlight of the movie. The psycho from the Cafe scene was better than all other villains in the movie put together. Also that wig was bloody annoying.

I feel the regular bollywood critics dissect south films to a larger extent and turn very liberal towards bollywood movies. Leo is so much better than a jawan or pathaan.

I have one question, why did you like jawaan?

The only missing thing in Leo was the interval block fight scene which lokesh does in his every movie where the protagonist and antagonist fight with someone parallely at different locations, i was expecting that, but yeah it was still great.

i don't think the lcu concept was forced. I see this movie as a story of a single character. the ending is similar to how nick fury comes in iron man saying "i want to speak with you about the avengers initiative".

I Wonder why Master and Leo aren't as good as kaithi and Vikram..the problem can be seen easily in the second half with the drag and the not so working emotional part,which i strongly believe would have never been Lokesh's idea ..

Still this film is far better than masterpiece films of so called spy Universe 😂 Lokesh and thalapathy rocked again 🔥🔥

Dude he delivered two masterpieces in a row go easy. Not a bad film in any regard and audience raved with the connections to the universe. Due credit to Lokesh. Hopefully Vikram 2 is back at the level of storytelling we expect from him

I agree the second part was down, but I guess its a good fortune since you can explore some little things missed in this movie in future movies , (Like what if Leo might have already met Rolex somehow during his prime). For me the only downpart was the Villains!

Here are some reasons why I think Leo is a very good and epic movie: The acting is superb. Vijay gives a career-best performance as Leo, and he is supported by a strong cast that includes Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun. The action sequences are well-choreographed and exciting. Lokesh Kanagaraj is known for his stylish action sequences, and he delivers once again in Leo. The music is excellent. Anirudh Ravichander's score is both catchy and atmospheric, and it perfectly complements the film's tone. The film explores some interesting themes, such as the nature of violence and the importance of family. Overall, I think Leo is a very good and epic movie. It is well-acted, well-directed, and well-produced. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of action movies, Vijay, or Lokesh Kanagaraj. Here are some specific examples of what I liked about the movie: In the first half, there is a scene where Leo is confronted by some thugs in a cafe. He tries to de-escalate the situation, but they are relentless. Finally, he is forced to fight back, and he does so with brutal efficiency. This scene is a great example of Vijay's acting skills and the film's excellent action choreography. The song "Nareddi" is one of the best songs I've heard in a Tamil movie in a long time. It is a catchy, upbeat song with a great dance sequence. The song is also used to great effect in the film, as it provides a contrast to the violence and darkness that is about to unfold. The film explores the theme of violence in a complex way. Leo is a man who is capable of great violence, but he does not enjoy it. He only uses violence when he has no other choice. The film also shows the devastating effects that violence can have on both the victim and the perpetrator. The film also explores the importance of family. Leo is a devoted husband and father, and he is willing to do anything to protect his family. This is one of the things that makes him such a relatable and sympathetic character. Overall, I think Leo is a very good and epic movie. It is well-acted, well-directed, and well-produced. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of action movies, Vijay, or Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Most LCU movies revolves around the drug socity and the war between gangs and police. That is the core of the universe. It does not revolve around karthi or kamal. This film revolves around parthiban/leo character that's why it felt force. But still like the movie. Best takeaway vijay performance 🔥🔥. The best in the long time. I felt the fights could have been grounded as the coffee shop fight scene rather than heavily depending on cgi. Agree about villians not menacing as rolex or santhanam. Over all its a good flick that could be little more better.

Better than YRF spy universe by miles You are being kinda biased here

Leo is better than jawaan in my opinion and i think its a good thing, every movie cannot be Vikram and khaidi. And i think movie length should have been more with giving enough time for das family and could have given enough time to both first half and second half. First half was given less time and people are expecting lcu movie characters cameos, could have been done better with the same plotline. Hoping for great characters to come in the lcu.

I feel you bro.. I got up at 4am to watch leo at 5:45 am... The hype was soo unreal and i couldn't even sleep because me and my friends were that excited for the movie.. It was such a disappointment at what we got.. It was the difference between the reality of not living up to the expectation and hype...

The day i saw u with film companion i already knew it u are so paid critics

Jammy it is still a lot better movie than Pathaan or Jawan. That's the truth

This movie was different commercially and filmmaking was done superbly, even though the storyline looks expired the screenplay stands out , actor vijay aced an actor here by giving his 100% , as a whole this movie was such a treat to watch, go enjoy it in theatres

Bruh you think cameo in pathaan makes more sense than the cameo in leo... idk why people are making it sound bad but i thoroughly enjoyed leo tho completely disagree with your opinion on this one

I usually agree with your reviews on most of the movies, indifferent of the language. But can't ignore the fact that you praised bang average flicks like pathaan and jawan, just because it was a better movie than the previous SRK films and also the dreadful creations that came out of Bollywood lately, but severely criticize Leo because its not as good as kaithi or vikram. In the perspective of a neutral viewer it would seem from your reviews that pathaan is a better movie than Leo, whereas the opposite is actually true. Would love it more if your reviews are more equal, with regards to the industry from which the movie is coming.

You mentioned movie "A History of Violence" in your review. What a movie it is!! I saw it in 2008 by borrowing CD from the library in Ornagevale, CA (some great memory). I saw that movie twice in a week.

Hyena is a metaphor too just vijay character like the hyena is alone and looking for a shelter after leaving its home and peaple try to kill it u can link it with vijays character arc

To understand this movie and Vijay's acting. You have to watch again. Only tamilians can understand this movie but anyway its No. 3 in LCU after kaithi and vikram.

You praised jawan for its illogical flashback but when it comes to Leo you critique it because it's vijay I don't understand why you are always critical about vijay if it was srk you would have been like wow masterpiece if you can't review our South movies don't review it

Spoilers. When Leo said that he killed his friend because of his father I thought his friend was going to be Rolex and Antony wanted him dead because he was trying to 1up Das and Co. Then if it was Rolex calling him in the end instead of Vikram that would've been so cool.

Aint no way Leo is as underwhelming as Jawan. Its pretty hard to believe that Jammy rated Jawan higher than this.

Leo >>>pathaan and Jawan

The napoleon sequence was decent although the other LCU reference at the end was just super cliche, like all of a sudden the CAMEO somehow has Leo’s number and knew what stuff he did. pretty cliche

I felt in the second half the story dropped immensely after a solid first half but the mind blowing action and Vijay's performance compensated for everything, Loved the Hyena CG but chase scene CG was horrible.

This is a typical south bombay guy reviewing a massy film kinda thing. I just came from last night show and thoroughly enjoyed the movie. People were whistling and clapping. Couldn't relate to anything which you mentioned here.

There is a Quote by Parthurnaax "What is better? To be born Good, or to Overcome your Evil Nature Through Great Effort?" Parthiban was doing the latter all along.. 🔥🔥🔥

It’s a simple story with a good presentation,this will realized down the line for sure

Lokesh genuinely failed to carve out a good screenplay. A missed opportunity! There is no interconnectedness in the second half which will build a good emotional connection between the trio of Vijay,Arjun and Sanjay Dutt. Thank God Thalapathy still nourished the first half! So much for the hype 😶

I think Lokesh must have bumped into Anurag Kashyap somewhere on the day of shoot and asked if he is free for a 1min role

Same GOES for PATHAAN & JAWAN too, I haven't seen this actor but as a Fan I also went to see both SRK Movies for some good script experience but such blunders are present in both the movies commonly Deepika Padukone is a useless addition to the scripts. I hope they dump her from both scripts soon.

1st comment, love your thoughtful videos. Would love to understand how your review process has evolved over the years. Thanks

There is an inside talk that the second half is actually directed by Rathna Kumar, Loki's assistant. There seemed to be some creative differences between Loki nd Vijay which led to this.

Yes Leo is below kaithi and Vikram....but creating a universe and maintaining consistency is a tough job.....hats off to Lokesh, he respects audience...i enjoyed,.Leo will b monster hit.... waiting for lokesh next movie 😘

My pulse rate was 155(yes, I checked on my watch) while watching the cafeteria scene. The tension was so palpable. And yes, LCU angle felt forced.

How can you say this is a disappointment and rave Jawan ?????

Nah leo better than jawan

In recent times , it’s just the celebration of an actor rather than having a compelling story . Only exciting upcoming project for me is Dunki and Animal

The song naan ready was badly chopped and censored 😑

It maybe down to that fact Lokesh had co writers for this movies, vs the others. Also like he mentioned in the interviews there was a release date set even before shooting began. Creating the rush. But he will learn from this, even though it will make loads of money.

Naa ready's interruption had to do with the censoring. You had to check that song's controversies among political parties.

I went to this movie only and only to see lokesh's movie. The movie was fine but there are some moments which could have been given more importance. I think instead of extending the last fight, they could have given that time to show flashback in a more elaborative way of exploring the relationships between these characters. Anirudh's bgm did not give me chills as it did in Vikram.

Just something i observed or felt. I have been following your channel from a long long time and i see almost all your videos. Keepup the good work

I think south audience like myself liked the movie more than the north. We are just happy to see Vijay doing things he already haven't done before. The CG on the hyena was great btw. I don't understand what fault you saw in it, but the other CG elements looked half baked tbh, but it worked for me. Personally I loved the movie. I thought it was a great action entertainer.

ANMOL, I WAS REALLY WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW FOR ETERNITY. AFTER THAT I WANTED TO BOOK MY TICKET. AS I AM A FAN OF LCU AND THE DIRECTOR BUT WITH LEO TRAILER, I AM HALF INTERESTED IN IT. BUT THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW IN SUCH EARLY TIME AND ACCESSING EVERY FACTS OF IT. ❤

Okay, Hear me out. I think people are misunderstanding what the 2nd half is about. It feels like a completely different movie, especially something like the old commercial movies done by Vijay, because it is supposed to. I was thrown off by how off the flashback portion felt but this interpretation made sense as the movie progressed. I think this whole movie is a meta commentary on Vijay's career. The flashback portion is the Vijay we've been used to seeing. 1. Over the top stunts with poor wirework 2. Vijay being a gangster and finding redemption after a traumatic event 3. His usual sister sentiment 4. Going against his father 5. His usual mannerisms The Parthiban portion of the movie is an analogue of how Loki perceives an action star should be. A deeply flawed human who has an external as well as an internal conflict he has to overcome. The fact that the action and writing returned right back to form once the flashback ended is what sealed this interpretation for me. Parthi also mentions that if he wants others to believe Leo is dead, he has to first believe it himself. From the way Vijay fit into the character of Parthi, I think he might have started believing. Also keep in mind that this is not the first time Loki has used an actor's career as meta. The whole Ghost storyline in Vikram was a commentary on the assumed dead career of Kamal Hassan. The fact that the leads' names were not mentioned in maanagaram was a meta indication of the actors' relative unpopularity. Let me know if this makes sense.

05:00 I'm sorry I have to disagree with this part for sure. Hyenas lives in pack it got separated from their group and finally made a bond among the parthi family forming a pack(I'm completely ignoring the domestication part of Hyena for the sake of film). Similarly when Leo Das come out of his gang he form his family and starts a new life. I believe the director is establishing that Hyena and Leo are the same. That's why vijay has empathy for the Hyena and agrees to give a second chance even though the Hyena has caused a destruction for the society.

There is a scene in Kaithi where Dili tells Bijoy, he used to work in a bakery. I feel a scene where Dilli approaches Parthiban and asks for a job would have been a better ending. Just my thoughts 😅

Cop universe spy universe and you call this universe a scam 😂😂😂

Sorry jammy but I have disagree with you about the hyena.There is an importance for that hyena scene.The hyena symbolize devil's dark deeds i.e vijay's character fights with it and controls it but doesn't kill it because he knew it when the time comes he need to use it.

I really don’t understand why a lot of folks are seeing the first half vs second half difference. I felt the movie is absolutely amazing. This is definitely, for me, better than John Wick, a million times over 🤷 I do have to disagree about the background score being “forgetful” because it’s exactly opposite to that I’m thinking maybe because I don’t watch many movies myself these days. Maybe if you’re a viewer that’s very familiar with Indian cinema these days would find the experience different 🤷 Regardless, it’s a very entertaining film, go watch it!

I really enjoyed leo and the integration of LCU in this movie and yes i agree there were a few issue in the second half of the movie but it never made me feel unsatisfied with its action or story. I guess people are disappointed at the fact that it wasn't really at the level of kaithi or vikram wich i kind of agree but i still think its an amazing movie

I feel the main reason was may be the love story that was shown and Sanjay's character not being properly setup ...this was for 15-20min after which the film again picks up the pace and makes good work

Am i the only one who think the hindi movie reviewers are very liberal while reviewing hindi films and so strict while reviewing south films?

Master was a Thalapathy Vijay film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. After watching Leo till first half I thought this is an out n out Lokesh Kanagaraj film Starring Thalapathy Vijay. But the second half disappointed man😑

On behalf of all Vijay Sir fans in the world we wish this movie a great success.🇮🇳❤💯🔥👍
