LEO Movie Review By Baradwaj Rangan | Thalapathy Vijay | Lokesh Kanagaraj | Anirudh Ravichander 

There was no need of Sanjay Dutt. They could have fleshed out Arjun's character a bit more into a bigger villain.

Leo had that potential to cross vikram and kaithi but the 2nd half ruined it. There was no need to finish both the villains all at once. If lokesh had skipped the flashback and kept leo's backstory as a mystery and killed only one of main villains for example sanjay dutt whereas arjun would also kill vijay's son for the same and somehow trisha divorced vijay for her son's loss keeping parthi broken and arjun becoming the main boss of the cartel where the last scene would be kamal hassan asking vijay to join the squad and arjun calling suriya giving the news of sanjay dutt's death would be an better ending and in second part we would get to know about Vijay's past. As it's the first installment of leo as an character in lcu they should have kept it as an open ending

I think loki has put himself under pressure to deliver the whole lcu, so he is having to make movies quickly. Therefore less time to fully develop the script. He is interested more in the execution part which he definitely delivers. The making quality was phenomenal

The hyena is symbolic of Leo. A social animal that lives with family, but when separated from family and attacked it gets brutally agressive! Its a foretelling of Leos story

Actually not all movies require a cameo like Vikram. Since we were so hyped up with Vikram, we expected some kind of cameo from a big star. But in POV of Leo’s universe this is just the starting point. The coming together of universes just can’t jump in with one movie. If this movie had come before Vikram, this whole point of view would have been totally different. We are still giving too much pressure to Lokesh to create mass moments like in Vikram. Give him a breather. He will come back stronger with his best when LCU foundation is set and builds up to the finale. Good review sir🤟🏽❤️

I would remember that opening scene with Vijay walking inside the coffee shop playing English song at back for decades so much style in it. If the 2nd half just trimming that flashback portion would've been Banger. Got to know why lokesh skipped flashback in Kaithi now, Loki na is not weak in love track but definitely in flashback. Hope he comes with a Banger in his upcoming films, really hyped for Vikram 2 End Game.

I liked the movie overall but it would've been so much awesome if leo flashback isn't revealed and parthiv should've stayed as parthiv regretting his past actions instead showcasing him as leo in climax. Fact that parthiv is leo should've only shown just to us(audience)!! 'Just my opinion'!

I think this is the most honest review on net! What BR says is so perfect! Unexploring so many characters was the only minus of the movie… By doing that one thing all the minuses mentioned by everyone would’ve been dusted💯

Agree with you review 100%. This movie had a lot of potential to be a masterpiece, but falls short due to weak villains and shoddy 2nd half. But this is still better than Beast and Varisu.

As an experimental film, Lokesh Kanagaraj have tried something different, but if he give importance to a good satisfying story then, automatically his style of making will give it an unique magic...in my opinion.

What If Leo is the actual villain in the movie?? He killed his own father and brother...he was acting before his wife whole time...He didnt show any sentiments in his old friend's death in front of cafe...Also remember the jump scare scene in bed...He was the only selfish character throughout the film...Even Sanjay Dutt tried to save Leo's wife and children from harm...Song is also named "villiain yaaru"

anurag kashyap interview -i want to die in loki’s movie Leo movie- “ketu vaangunan da!!” If You know. you know!!!😂😂

I honestly felt that Myskin’s portion could have been explored little longer after Sandy’s stunning impact. So does Arjun’s portion!

Second half was not bad. But not as good as Vikram. Maybe because Vikram gave enough screen time and importance to side characters so it was fun to watch, whereas in Leo it's fully Vijay show.

I don’t know if it is just me, but Lokesh seems to give the first half way more attention than the second half, he is often worried about how the first half does, more than the second half, which he thinks is in his zone. In this movie, the difference is stark between the two halves.

As Lokesh said ..The whole film is on Thalapathy Vijay's shoulder.....Vijay has excelled as a performer...Loved Leo❤

As a Vijay na fan im very happy you called out the flaws instead of giving into the hype. It makes the future movies that much better.

Anurag Kashyap, told earlier that, he would love to act in a death scene in Lokesh movie. It is Lokesh speaking through Vijay when he said "you asked for it" after killing him :)

Hyena Subramani சார்பாக படம் வெற்றி பெற வாழ்த்துக்கள்!!!

Parthi's character design was an interesting half-attempt. He was acting/sounding a bit over confident (in the default Vijay's style) from the first frame despite asking us to buy into his innocence. This was very obvious in the scenes when he was confidently fighting/handling the Hyena. It affected the believability/consistency of the character in the first half itself. But maybe they didn't care enough to get these things right! Time & money.

Positives 1. Vijay's acting and screen presence 2. Good 1st half 3. Sandy & Mysskin registered as good villains compared to the rest Negatives 1. Too many actors not used properly 2. There is no emotional connect, many scenes seem disconnected in 2nd half 3. Rolex curse - You keep hoping for a big connection to LCU that will save the 2nd half, but it never arrives (at least like how you wanted, the last minute phone call seemed just like that - last minute)

If the 2nd half was atleast 50% as good as 1st half, we would have had another vikram.

The car chase could have avoided, the last climax fight could have been made more realistic, it was technically sound film but the story line was weak!

Went to the film with great expectations on Leo das and came back as a Fan of Parthiban .. POV; Common Man Fighting for his family >> any of the Gangsters

Overall, Vijay's acting in this movie was soooo good. The 1st half was a slow burn which really did worked for me. But the 2nd half was rushed. The writing in the second half just gone out of hand. For me, the second half was a let down. If lokesh had spent more time structuring the second half the movie could have been so better . As a whole (For me) it was an average experience.

when I check out a review, it's like writers are out here creating characters, and we can totally boss our own movie direction with AI. That's the vibe that hits me when I'm all up in a review. 🎥🔥😎

Hope u will interview with lokesh again for the break up. Kindly ask him whether rathnakumar directed the second half ??

Lokesh is one dimensional so he for sure will be caught n now he is exposed. Next in line is sandeep reddy n Prashant neel. These people are not shankars, maniratnams rajamoulis, bhanshalis or hiranis. They are the real legends.

Still i feel MANAGARAM is best film of Lokesh, after that in all his films we can only see Action Director work through out the films, and ofcourse Anirudh's BGM, everytime he write story not with pen but with gun and sound... Next movie is Thalaiver 171, there also Anirudh and Anbariv play huge roles, so lokesh doesnt need good story, Drugs, guns & Sound is enough to complete the films, that is the reason he already have ready lineups such as "KHAIDI 2" "VIKRAM 2" "ROLEX " "MAYAAVI" "T171'' "LEO 2" Prabhas film (speculation ) Ramcharan film (speculation ) one film for Hombale films (this news is True ) He can make film effortlessly with his gun & sound formula.😢😢

Lokesh said last 45 mins is exceptional😂. But I wasn't satisfied wt 2nd half. Last 15 mins I liked in 2nd half but it can be done more Better. Vijay done 100 percentage in acting whr 1st half it was new Vijay without his usual style n swag but in 2nd half thr was a little bit to satisfy his that category fans who came expecting that. But its gd watch, esp for the next part of this film. But villain s cld had done more powerful but bc of fans request Lokesh protected Trisha akka😂. Thr were sudden cuts in movie before forming a emotion n cont censor cuts too done damage

Nobody Le Anuragh Kashyap : Thanni can poda vanthaen maamu : )

Lokesh do better in Thalaivar 171.... History repeats! 👍

It was pure remake of history of violence.frist see the trailer of history of violence then talk

That comment about the wife enjoying violent sex is well-spotted, I hadn't thought about it from that angle. The psychological fallout the son and the wife have to deal with in History of Violence is one of the most fascinating aspects of the movie for me. The wife suddenly doesn't who this man she has been with for 20 years and has to try to lead a family (at least in front of the society) knowing who her husband is. The son discovers parts about himself even he didn't know and there are questions about the personalities you inherit vs the ones you build. Even the impactful scene at the end where his daughter accepts him into the family because she's the purest one in the family and sees through him for what he is or trying to become which is a loving father and husband. There are no such moral questions in Leo and the emotional scene between the daughter and the father is just fitted into one throwaway line Here Vijay's stardom is used in a way to see him get one over his wife and then to get his son saved. No moral questions are asked

This was really bad. First half ok. Second half was terrible. Emotional scenes really really bad. 1/5

If Parthi and Leo arent the same person, this movie could've been much better. Because since they are the same person, the emotional scene has become gaslighting scene. The family man's pure struggle to save his family has become fake. Yet the 2nd half flashback and LCU connect was a major drawback. And why leo didnt go and revenge for his sister's death right away? Why putting up a drama saying hes not leo and pretending to stay away yet he knows one day he will be recognised by Das gang? Wtf is this narabali concept? First half was insanely good. Sandy and mysskin should have been throughout the film. Hope Lokesh can redeem himself in the next thalaivar film.

Leo looks to be not an usual cat and mouse hero-villain story, its completely and completely about the protagonist tale from beginning to end. Just loved Vijay’s performance in this❤

Vijay was the main redeeming factor after watching the whole movie. Vijay in Leo is has done a great job....but the supporting cast and villians should have been done better. But Vijay's character will be a great addition to LCU.

If you look form the point of view of lokesh plans for LCU, you would understand why the 2nd half was subtle. If he dwells much into Leo’s past than there would be nothing left for a part 2. Mansoor Ali khan mentions that the story he told happened in a day. So there’s more. Knowing lokesh, he’s smart in leaving Easter eggs. I’m sure we will see more of Sanjay dutt and Arjun in Leo part 2 if it happens.

Now here comes the much awaited review from a best reviewer of ours ❤️

I don't understand these critics they need directors to direct according to their taste or for audience need. This same critic praised vendhuthaninthathukadu which was not engaging at all to audience

Agree with the review. I've watched all Lokesh's film at least 8-10 times. There's no semblance of his sensibilities anywhere, especially in the second half. Rather looked like a half-baked Rathnakumar directorial with lots of loose-ends.

Madonna character cud hav been replaced by another male actor with a disability by birth but loved by Leo..Sanjay and Arjun shud hav been shown as age old worshippers of satan..and they shud hav tried to sacrifice Leo’s disabled younger bro when leo turns against Sanjay and Arjun and henc gets shot at..Leo should hav known some rare formula of drug which if rehashed only Das and co can return to their old pride which should hav been the reason behind searching for Leo..in the movie there is no solid purpose as to why Leo needs to be brought back inspite of sacrificing so many ppl in the villain side..totally carelessly written second half and flashback

Arjuns opening shot and bgm and his expression and makeup and throughout the whole film, he was so smashing and outshone Vijay and Sanjay both! Sexy hot fantastic acting etc is not saying enough about the potential that lokesh could have developed. Such a waste that he had to die in the end.

When i saw GVM sir scene of offering him a drink and he refusing it..i thought there is going to be a master connection..how? expected all in the Parthi family would die,and he becomes drunkard and becomes the Professor in "MASTER" who keeps drinking to overcome the loss.!! Parthi aim in the first place is never to stop drugs or he had any plans to hunt down the villains..so VIKRAM calling and telling that closing one drug place is not enough mroe needs to be done was somewhat funny for me.....LEO could have been a character on its own who is still at large , there was no need that parthi to be a LEO, which would have given even more time for LK sir to write a even a bigger plot for him later.

The negative reviews say that the Villains are not powerful. 🥲That's the same question Lokesh brings up in the movie, which is #VillainYaaru da? - The Villain is #LeoDas and the hero is also #Parthiban. The rest of the characters are just supporting characters only. 😅 - Even @duttsanjay is not a bad person compared to #Leo. He saves Leo when everyone decides to kill him. He saves #Leo's family from the serial killer villains. - He never came to the cafe to kill #Leo, he came to ask for his son. He acts according to his beliefs and that doesn't make him a bad person 🧐. There's a scene in a cafe when Leo and Anthony meet up at the cafe. - Behind Anthony's head there will portray an angel 😉 while behind Leo will be a sharp evil crown. Even #HaroldDas respects his brother #Anthony's decision, which is to sacrifice either Leo or his sister and he decides not to hurt a girl and chooses Leo. It shows his respect for his brother (Anthony's decision) and Harold never breaks the rules of killing them. - Harold will kill Leo's sister only when Leo burns all the products of Dass & Co. - Everything that Anthony and Harold want is to bring Leo back and build the empire he destroyed. That is why they actually celebrated by lifting #Leo's picture when they confirmed that it is Leo. After all, family's love never fails all the years. (@ThePeakyBlinder #PeakyBlinders) 🖤 - @Dir_Lokesh concludes to us that Leo is the Villain when Leo tells the audience that he has nothing good to say about his past, since he never did anything good. Not only that, he will also kill anyone who comes in his way to identify him as Leo Dass in the future.

Finally now people will understand how over rated lokesh is and how much people are over hyping that mid director

Mark my words... One day , we all are gonna regret criticizing this movie

Ok so, not sure if you’re going to read this but nevertheless the veterinarian was killed to show that anyone could be killed at any moment, I think it was perfect that they killed the doctor because he was a necessary person but also a disposable character. Next coming to the great horned owl, it speaks wonders about why and how Parthiban came to be an animal rescuer and portrays his love for animals at a deeper scale. The marriage of a minor character was to show the special bond he shared with his small circle and to boost the cafe scene. If you’ve really read up until here and are interested in the rest leave a like.

Great review as always! Do you think most of the open ended characters in this movie actually are a planned effort to easily expand them in other #LCU movies?

Would love to see the Lights camera action segment where BR throws all these questions at Lokesh. Hope that happens

Lokesh failed?? Just watched Leo after listening all those mixed reviews since morning ...yes, it's not the best movie of Lokesh but have to say it's total paisa vasool movie... and it's just a beginning!!! No idea why people compare this movie with Kaithi and Vikram. Both these movies are on a mission and that never shows the past of both the characters, at the same time, LEO is character building Movie to the LCU universe and the movie is all about who LEO/ Parthiban is and how badass they are or how bad ass they are going to be in the LCU universe. I am personally totally satisfied !!! Go watch it from theater's for better cinema experience!!

"Scream Generating Machine"... much needed term

Very much Expected result of Leo. Somewhere these good directors like Nelson ,Lokesh slip off in the process of making movies for these big heroes.. I don’t know what makes them do it but by default it’s happening and will happen. Guess it’s the pressure they get..

In my opinion movie would work better without stupid fans over expectation and interval break. Why there is an interval break? it breaks the flow. In other countries mostly no interval breaks including My country so we could enjoy the flow perfectly. If this movie fails then 100% the reason is because of overhyped and overexpected fans and viewers.

Ajith/vijay's stardom is killing the potential of many directors

There can be better emotional story for leo in 2 nd half . This one is a disappointment from loki . The only negative in the flim could be this

Instead vijay revealing to Arjun.. that call from Vikram.. should reveal Parthiban is vijay..and a glimpse of leo character showcasing the screen ..and end the movie..

Still it’s a better movie than Master. Leo had very good first half, better second half than Master. Your explanation about Hyenna was good.

Loki said this film is an experiment. He took the core from history of violence and fleshed it out into this film which to me is his worst to date. There's no soul in this movie, no start or finish, I could never connect with it. You might think he's doing all this for his family but he lies to his wife blatantly and exploits her love. He spoiled his son by setting a very bad example i.e., a Man can do anything when he's young and then magically transform into a 'good' man by lying to his family about the past. Why in the world would he want to weave this shit into what he calls the LCU. Why kazhudhai puli (hyena), SMH. Kaithi - Dilli has a mysterious past but he wants to live a simple life with daughter but gets caught into a police-cartel war, and agrees to side the police in return of a comfortable life for his child, and fight against a social evil (drugs) as well. To me that's a good soul for a movie that I could connect to. Vikram - drug-free society, but I didn't like how Vikram's squad got wasted in trying to protect a child. For the greater good, why can't trained veteran RAW agents just focus on taking out the bad guys and sacrifice the life of the child OR even better put the child along with his mother in the safe room. Leo - aside the fact of setting a very bad example for a husband, father and son , he burns a cartel down in an impulsive revenge move rather than caring for the society. I lost my respect for Loki because to me is a con man. He acts very nicely in front of the camera posing himself as a 'perfect' humble man, especially I hate his deliberate inorganic low tone in Leo interviews. He needs to become original both in character and as a filmmaker to shine. If this is the mode his brain is going to function, then LCU is a waste. Leo negatives = Loki 50% (loosu koo story inspired from a classic) + Vijay 20% (flashback portion) Leo positives = tech crew 30%

"Scream generating machine" this was my thought once I came out of the movie.

I am not a thalapathy fan or any sort of fan boy. But I am feeling that tamil film spectators should have more focus toward a film which comes under a UNIVERSE. As far as I see the reviews of the film I see people saying that the second leg of the film is lagging. But spectators should understand that the story in the second leg is a narrated story and which can be a FALSE STATEMENT. A protagonist "Who can fake their own deaths" can easily lie about the stories. So I feel that the second half of the film can be a complete FALSE STATEMENT because most part of the second half is narrated by actor Mansoor Ali khan. Moreover, deaths of most of the villains are not shown. If then, this will be a SPECIAL PHENOMENON in the tamil film industry where the second half of the film is a LIE. So I should say that even though the tamil film industry is booming BUT most of the tamil audience are NOT READY/ NOT FAMILIAR with universe movies. Also, in the potion where Anurag Kashyap's scene most of the "HIGH END PRO REVIEWERS" said it was a waste of production to have Anurag Kashyap featured, BUT they forgot that "its a universe and every character might have their stories". Here we can say that the spotted hyena can be a imported species from africa because a hyena will not be tamed in FEW DAYS to any humans. Even though in this film they have showed it was tamed in few days. So there MIGHT BE a big chance that the hyena is ALREADY tamed and the movie is just a part of it. Peace!

I can't accept too much of mocobot shot , it doesn't fit the scene requirment.... (Personal opinion)

Exhausted watching this . Disspointed with LK. Expect some scenes it was 😢.

Highlights of the Review 03:29 💥 4:40 🔥 05:35💥 6:08🔥 Peaked Here ---> 06:33💯 The Most Honest Review by BR. . Anticipating Interview with Lokesh Kanagaraj Post Leo 😏 . Rajini gonna give comeback for Lokesh just like he did to Nelson🌝 . #ComebackforLokeshKanagaraj

When a Loki kanni is disappointed with the 2nd half, but still wants to give a good review😅

now i am seriously worried about the character rolex to be honest

Leo is still better than master, Beast and Varisu.... I felt it was even better than Vikram ..In Vikram 2nd half was too loose... only Agent Tina and to an extend Rolex were the saving grace ...The trouble is people expected the moon and got shot out…It was almost like Dark Night 3 where we expected something bigger than Dark Night 2 but got underwhelmed, even though DN3 was still a good standalone action movie… **Spoilers Ahead** **Leo 2nd half high’s** • The scene between Vijay and Trisha in the 2nd half was so well acted … I am sure any other actor other than Trisha or Vijay would have struggled to pull it off… Vijay acting has improved a lot in the last 10 years…. It is a challenging scene. Showing rejection, anguish, suffering, pain, anger and love in the same scene is pure genius … I don’t know if a younger Vijay would have made it through… • The hyena’s entry in 2nd half was pure mass …well thought out to create the bond with it in 1st half. • Napoleon gun scene • Naa Ready than song… **Leo 2nd half low’s** • The complex relation between Antony, Herold and Leo was not established. In one scene Sanjay is saving Vijay’s family from goons, In another scene he is kidnapping his son. Sanjay’s intention is to take Leo back to his drug industry or to avenge him for destroying his factory. Why does he want Parthiban to accept that he is Leo? What is he going to do after he accepts ? • Why is Herold (Arjun) trying to kill Leo’s family ? Is he trying to take revenge for Leo killing his elder brother Antony ? Would he still try to kill his family if Antony was alive? Does Arjun have some Ego with Vijay…He was the one who killed his sister in the flashback too…. They should have given some scenes in flashback to establish this… • Vijay beating the police was so poorly shot… The action choreography was very 90’s. • More scenes with Elisa and Leo to showcase the brother-sister bond would have helped the audience to feel the pain . Right now there is no emotional connect in her death... • Mansoor Ali Khan doesn’t tell Gautham Menon that the guy in picture is Leo…. That is for a reason…That is not told…even his relationship with Leo was not written well… • Anurag Kashyup killing was so generic…. Some Ego with friend…. This doesn’t sync with Leo’s overall character…. Why does he have to kill for that ? • Very lengthy Climax…The one on one fight with Arjun should have been trimmed. Also Mathew was not shown much in Climax… He should have had some role there… Overall Leo is a 3.5/5 movie…Not bad, not great…Bloody sweet 😊

Is it time for Tamil cinema to break the 1st half 2nd half thing, and do solid 2hr movies like Hollywood? Action films should be like that. But these greedy theatre owners wont let it happen.

The movie worked totally fine with me. Now rhat i start to think about it, it was one of the finest craftsmanship. It never was targetting a sudden performance, the movie was linear and the scenes were gradual. CG, Camera, Stunts, Background score. Eberything was so lit

Leo is not more than vikram or kaithi.But Go without any expectations the movie will amaze you 🎉

For Anurag Kashyup,leo himself says kettu vaangitala referring his interview where he says I desperately want to be part of LCU and die there

Nice review, although I agree with a lot of points I still think this movie is so far ahead from so much other movies we get. Jailer and Jawan doesn't even compare to how good Leo was. It could have been a masterpiece if if they just fleshed out Sanjay dutts character a bit more. Still a solid 4/5 for me

Of course, nowadays we are ambitious and want our Star ( not the case of generic actors ) to tick all the check boxes to be termed finest movie. It was a Finest Tamil movie experience for me thats cooked in a year , the star is keeping himself running constantly in regional cinema , without being indulged in Pan India tag and also not a similar bond he share with any other regional actors like rajni and amitab. For him it is Tamil cinema , with his best way, he should get an award , he deserved for Kaththi honestly more than VIP dhanush for that year although both of them are OG. The best flex of VJ is hand to hand action its very underrated. The dancer flexibility in his was great. During hyena shot , the actor is falling in the slippery snow, tailor made but not overplayed , it has not ticked certain checkboxes but ❤, we will revisit certain scenes again , 2k kids will tell this atleast 1st half as OG , through their reels.

Kissing scene of Dalapathy and Trisha is replica of Kamals Mahanadi where Sukanya and kamal kisses, even though Leo is Stright inspiration from A History of Voilance he lifts many scenes, charecters and names from various films great Loki Bhai 👌👌👌 RIP #LCU

When money grows quality downs Loki is also human so he is no exception.. humans are always humans...

Expectations of leo was too high, because of vijay, vikram movie,lokesh, After this review, my mind is prepared for its just average film, don't build expectations for any movie thereafter

Leo Disappointed us to Satisfy Our Expectations😢

Ok two questions to Bharatwaj Rangan :- 1. Can the present 2k generation enjoy a dramatic film with their cult actor ? 2. If there was little mass moment and more good story, how will be BO result be ? Cinema has become a SGM literally for financial reasons I believe.

actually its a good movie only flaw is second half, could be better. #LEO

Lokesh Kanagaraj is an amazing director and the proof is in his first work. It is sad to see that these makers do not call the shots anymore and let money do the talking.

Totally unfair reviews. I’m not a die hard vj fan, in fact I disliked beast and varisu. Vj used to be in movies like a template, 6 songs, fight, comedy and family scenes. This is a neat action thriller like John Wick. Our reviewers are over thinking to criticize. This need not be like Vikram. Vikram had Kamal, Fafa, Vj sethupathy and other elements to make it a whole movie. Vj has single handedly managed this whole movie. While many see there is no strong villain, people fail to understand that Vj has such a big negative shade in himself and managing that bad vs his good was the underlying theme of this movie. So you don’t need a big villain. Bd keeps bringing Hollywood examples, do reviewers in Hollywood keep reviewing like him? There reviews are less drama and they talk less.

Most of the reviews and my thought as well is that the 1st half set the plot right and high but the 2nd half failed to fulfil the expectations set before interval block. Lokesh could’ve explored the LCU in the 2nd half. LCU factor didn’t give the chills as it did in Vikram. Anyway we believe in you Lokesh and since it is part of universe you have the privilege to balance the expectations in the upcoming movies. All the best👍

‘True Genre Auteur’! Like really? Mr. Baradwaj Rangan, I thought you were one of the quality reviewers out there who knows cinema relatively well. When you call a mainstream masala film maker like Lokesh-who shamelessly rips off content and elements from other films-‘Auteur’, you are losing your credibility. His films are assault to the senses. Come on man!

Cant blame the filmmakers. if not for "SGM" as you told, people immediately term it as lag. Character conflicts are no more given importance as the attention span of an average movie goes decreased to nor more than 10 mins. Yes, some fine movies came out with character driven stories but how many were they action movies. Imagine Jailer, Rajini didn't have conflicts, the villain didn't have any scope, the last minute twist was too lame, we did not care about Rajini's son. But the movie kept on revolving around "SGM" every 10 minutes, so people thought this is the best movie they ever watched. Will they think the same even they revisit it in OTT. I don't think so. As a audience ourself we have to grow.

The biggest nonsense about all these comments is, we are good at commenting what others should do or not do, but forget thinking about if we were given the baton of a director or an actor would we even be 0.5% of what has been delivered. They hypeandexpectation was created by US the people, not the crew. So stop commenting , watch it and forget it.

Thalapathy is an steal as a performer leo das is an blast deep focus with loki nee vera level i enjoyed sooooo much in leo

This is how one must review a film, in contrast to those nibba reviewers at Film Companion South. Those nibbas might benefit more from improving their skills rather than focusing on deleting comments that share criticism. BR's review as always stands out. It reflects the considerable thought and analysis he puts into rather than simply striving to be the first on the internet to put it out.

IMO I personally enjoyed master way more than LEO especially because of the second half.tbh why did they even need a flashback portion idk

After hyena Scene parthi mentioned as tamil Karan & "Animal rescuer " so not just a coffee shop owner

Fantastic and honest review..2nd half was predictable..Movie is good but expected better from Lokesh as he has set standards by Directing Vikram, and this doesnt live to that standard

Sir,do an interview with Lokesh again... It's not a 100 percent Lokesh film.. ask about the second half.. what happened.. it's not Lokesh touch.. we have many questions like this to Lokesh... Please do one interview...

Vijay anna movies mainly flops or become average because of unwanted overhype created by their fans 😂😂😂😂😂

Leo Antony and Harold relation Felt like Arindhum Ariyaamalum Movie❤️🥺..Antony just wanted his son back😭😭

Ivaru Leo va otunaru....but no hate comments becoz Half of Anils don't know English 💯

The screenplay was the weakest for any Lokesh movie. Mind boggling how he directed this movie. Not sure what’s “clean screenplay”. BR - Please say it as is - there is no story !

Big minus: 1. Sanjay dutt 2. Daughter sacrifice spoof 3. Unwanted hyena 4. Bad Screenplay with green mats 5. Illogical scenes every 5 mins Plus : 1. Vijay 2. Napoleon 3. Kamal hasan

What you said all correct, when you come out and analyse the movie.. but while watching the movie, it didnt have any impact.. we thoroughly enjoyed, it was a great theatrical experience...

Sanjay dutt was one wrong choice

Announcing the release date in movie launch itself was the biggest mistake or hidden pressure for Lokesh. He should have taken more time to stick on to his strengths.
