Leo (III) (2023) User Reviews

NO SPOILERS

[best-review · 6/10 · 18 October 2023]

The central plot of the movie follows a somewhat traditional trajectory, reminiscent of numerous Indian films and works like "A History of Violence," adapted from a graphic novel by John Wagner. Nonetheless, Director Lokesh, in collaboration with his writing team, skillfully injects a rejuvenating dose of suspense into the storyline with brilliantly executed plot twists. It's worth noting that the flashback segments seemed hurried and unconvincing, which affected the second half, and the pacing in the first half could have benefited from some tightening, especially the over-budget hyena sequence.

To avoid revealing any spoilers, I'll conclude my thoughts here.

Vijay delivers a commendable performance in both of his roles. While his appearance as Parthiban, a character in his mid-40s, may not be exceptional, it remains acceptable, and his acting is good. His portrayal of Leo, on the other hand, looks good but doesn't offer much to act on because of the short duration.

Trisha didn't get a meaty role, but as always, she delivers a fantastic performance, radiating beauty even in a role that requires her to portray a woman in her 40s and a mother of a teenager. Her on-screen chemistry with Vijay is superb, a genuine treat for their fans.

Sanjay Dutt's presence in the film is decent, though his acting doesn't quite match up to the overall cast's caliber. Arjun Sarja's role is actually useless, but his appearance and acting are good.

The supporting cast delivers their best efforts, contributing to the film's overall quality. Priya Anand and Anurag Kashyap are underutilized.

The action sequences are well-executed and visually appealing. The cinematography showcases moments of extraordinary brilliance, although it falls short in some areas. The songs may not be remarkable, but the background score is notably strong. The film's locations, sets, and costumes are adequately done, while the VFX work could have been more refined.

Lokesh's direction deserves recognition for steering the film in a positive direction, but he should work on his writing.

In summary, I recommend experiencing this movie in theaters to fully appreciate the cinematic journey it offers. #LCU.

Would've worked fine as a standalone piece, if you ask me! [+62%]

[arungeorge13 · 6/10 · 19 October 2023]

On the bright side, we get..

• One of Vijay's finest performances (not as a star, but as an actor): The first half is replete with moments where Vijay showcases emotions as a doting father, husband, cafe owner, and animal lover.

• The writing in the first half: Superb, even when it's A History of Violence contextualized for Tamil sensibilities. Every scene carries a decent tempo, and the developments make you sit up. The whole hyena angle is beautifully executed, and its payoff in the climax is wonderful. The title card placement is a nice creative touch on Lokesh's part.

• Brilliant cinematography: Manoj Paramahamsa's frames wonderfully capture the Kashmiri locales (even though the film is "set" in Theog, Himachal Pradesh) with Parthipan's (Vijay) cafe looking remarkably aesthetic in that first fight sequence. When the film gets action-heavy, the use of the mocobot camera is put to fine effect.

• A pretty solid supporting cast: Whether it be Trisha (who looks absolutely dashing), Gautham Menon, Arjun Sarja, Sanjay Dutt, or Mathew Thomas, they deliver what the writing expects them to. It's just that the antagonists (Dutt, Sarja) lack sufficient fleshing out for us to care about their motives.

• Anirudh's music: While I feel he overdid the score a bit in the film, the elevation points (particularly a 10-15 minute pre-interval stretch) are fabulous, courtesy of his compositions. Badass Ma is the clear standout, but Naa Ready also worked thanks to the choreography. The English bits in the score were tremendous, and I can't wait to blast them on Spotify for my workouts once the OST is uploaded.

On the not-so-bright side, we get..

• A lackluster second half: The whole flashback segment suffers from tepid writing. A key character is introduced only to be killed off just a few minutes later. The writing doesn't give us any time to register this character, let alone connect emotionally. This then becomes the driving force for the protagonist's subsequent actions. The whole "identity crisis" aspect also wears out, because there's only so much you can do with it. In totality, this is a 75% Lokesh, 25% Vijay film.

• Some tacky CGI: While this doesn't hamper the viewing experience overall, you'll come across not-so-great CG work in certain parts. This is especially the case in a car chase sequence.

• The LCU connect: Felt somewhat inorganic and forced. Given the film takes place geographically far away from the proceedings of the LCU, I felt it stood a better chance as a standalone piece. There are some interesting cameos yes, but nothing that gives you the wowness of Vikram, or even Kaithi for that matter. Lokesh definitely reserved his best for Aandavar.

Middle-of-the-road aspect: Anbariv masters are quite well-known for their innovative set pieces. I loved the first set piece (at the cafe) - it felt raw and real, with fantastic cuts and zero slo-mo. There are plenty more in various locations, but only the climactic showdown (which also includes a 1v1 between Vijay and Arjun) lingers in my mind after leaving the cinema hall.

P. S. - I enjoyed Loki's tribute to Sly Stallone. If you know, you know.

LCU - used to fool audience

[armsmovie · 6/10 · 21 October 2023]

Lokesh tried to fool audience with the hype of LCU. He tried to justify the expenses done on Hyena CG scenes. But I was unable to connect with that scene. Story or characters were not established yet. I was like what are you trying to do with this scene. If hyena was a metaphor of his character, then why movie name or his name is Leo? It could have been Hyena itself. Sandy, Mysskin and Vijay's cafe scenes were the best in the movie. It is the worst adaptation or remake of History of violence. Almost Parthi took the whole movie to reveal that he is indeed Leo, unfortunately entire audience know that he is only Leo, so there was no suspense or surprise in that revelation. They rushed to write the story and film it and release as promised. But they failed big time in the quality of the story and making. Human sacrifice was your best find to push Leo away from his family? Senseless writing. Could not feel Anirudh's presence in BGM. What was with Vijay's hairstyle?? Really!!?? The comment is not about him wearing a wig. With wig, you have more choice to come with better looks. May be they thought to bring Lion's hairstyle but terrible choice. There was no story to drag it for almost 3 hours. Lokesh needs to spend more time in writing. It doesn't matter that you take inspirations or copy from English movies. People always welcome quality movies. These type of movies should fail in box office for the betterment of tamil cinema. Otherwise more movies will come with hype and collect money just with the cast/crew names. Fans should not encourage these movies just because it's your favorite hero's movie. Support good movies and kick the rest away.

Could've been better!

[personalacc-87247 · 6/10 · 22 October 2023]

Leo is Vijay's most hyped film of his career. Unfortunately this movie ended up as a mediocre. Vijay fans would enjoy this film but as someone who've watched Kaithi and Vikram. Leo is not even near those 2 films. This is definitely not a 100% Lokesh film, everyone expected it to be like Vikram, Kaithi but it was actually another Master. I felt like Master was better tbh.

Lokesh wasted so many roles like Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Anurag Kashyap, Mysskin. Their roles had no depth at all like any of his previous film characters like Santhanam, Amar, Anbu had so much depth.

LCU looked forced and unnecessary for the film, this film had nothing to do with LCU since this movie had no reason to be in it.

Flashback was just too short, it had no logic, and the emotional scenes didn't work tbh.

I dont know why directors always do this to Vijay.

When it was Beast we expected a movie like Doctor but he gave a disaster. When we expect something like Vikram , Lokesh gives us an Indian John Wick, WHY?

No matter how many theories or explanation Lokesh gives, the mistakes in Leo can't be undone Just move on.

Leo: 6/10.

Excellent🔥🔥🔥

[adhishsbabu · 8/10 · 23 October 2023]

First half greater than second half.

Over all movie was mind blowing.

I was super excited for this movie. I am completely satisfied with leo.

Anbu ariv action was fantastic.

Cinematography was super manoj parmahamsa done great job.

CGI works was great especially hyena scenes.

Overall this movie gaves me a mindblowing theater experience.

I swear, I'm not on Molly.

[BA_Harrison · 7/10 · 29 December 2023]

This film is nuts. It opens with the owner of the largest coffee shop in Himachal Pradesh fighting a hyena (which he later tames), features more brutality than most Western action films, completely dispenses with logic and physics, and still finds time to include a musical routine with hundreds of dancers. In addition to the CGI hyena, we also get a hilariously bad CGI horse and a dreadful CGI eagle. Oh, and the hero is a murderous ex-drug-dealer who has been lying to his wife for twenty years.

Joseph Vijay plays Parthiban, whose life as husband, father and coffee shop proprietor is thrown into disarray when he shoots dead five vicious criminals who threaten his daughter's life. Hitting the news, Parthiban comes to the attention of crime-lord Antony Das (Sanjay Dutt), who is convinced that the man is his son Leo, who he had believed to be dead. Das tried to kill Leo as part of a sacrificial ritual to guarantee success, and now he wants to try again...

Don't go into this one expecting realism - that goes out the window with the hyena in the first scene; Leo is utterly ridiculous and requires suspension of disbelief from the outset. The plot is derivative (similar to graphic novel A History of Violence) and the script is laughable at times, but if over-the-top action with stereotypical characters and lashings of brutality is what you're after, then the film should satisfy. I certainly had a good time with all of the silliness (the motorcycle/car chase is just crazy) but feel like the film started to run out of steam a bit towards the end, stretching out the whole 'Is he Leo or isn't he?' thing a bit too long.

6/10. Worth seeing for Vijay's huge hair and the terrible songs on the soundtrack (I'm Scared had me creased up).

Loki needs a break !!

[jerry-hitman · 4/10 · 21 October 2023]

"Leo: meow"

If you thought the first half of "Leo" was your typical nail-biting thriller, you're not alone. But the moment Leo, Sanjay, Arjun, and Elisa strut onto the screen, it's like the movie forgot to take itself seriously. I mean, come on, the villain's willingness to take advice from a church father-slash-josiyar? That's so 'out there' it's practically in orbit!

And let's not even start on the antagonist gang, Das & Co. I'm pretty sure a pet goldfish has more strategic prowess. Watching them attempt world 's drug domination is like watching a squirrel try to parallel park a car - amusingly disastrous.

In my humble opinion, don't sprint to the cinemas for this one. Give it a few weeks, and you can enjoy the brilliance of "Leo" from the comfort of your Netflix account.

One of the best action film from VIJAY

[yaduk-49031 · 9/10 · 19 October 2023]

I would like to say this is a must watch theatre experience movie. We can see the best Vijay Film comparing to previous movies. I would like to give a big clap to Lokesh for giving a visual treat. The cinematography is brilliant and we can feel every scene and goosebumps overloaded. As always Anirudh was fire with his music. We can't imagine this movie without him. First half of the movie is very interesting because we get very much curious over every scenes. But the climax portion is not that much good from my point of view. The graphic designers worked very hard to make it realistic and also they achieved it. You have to watch the movie to find if this movie comes under 'LCU'. I'm saying again theatre experience is must for the film and if you miss that it will be a big loss for you.

Movie of trailers

[raviankam525 · 7/10 · 20 October 2023]

Leo is not up to expectations, several trailers were merged into a single movie. Every 15 minutes a main character is introduced with hype which added some energy to movie so spectators can get some enjoyment. Villains in 2nd half is big let down, Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Sarja roles were not written properly. Only one of them is also sufficient for the movie. They don't have any strong reason to go against main character. Sister sentiment was not well established. First half is better than 2nd half. Vijay, Trisha and Gautam Vasudev Menon did excellent job, others even though big names dont have much to add to the movie.

TOO MUCH STYLE over Substance backed by Fanaticism

[rohitreviews · 2/10 · 23 October 2023]

The original movie, "A History of Violence" had some purpose, character arc, but using that same story this one is so cheap version filled with overly stylized, glamorized, bombastic film filled with nonsensical plot points. I had a headache watching throughout of it.

Every actor did overacting it's so hard to watch, from Vijay , Trisha, the son character, Psycho, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja, everyone had no organic feel to the story. Even the family bonding is so paper thin, cheesy. The action scenes are forced inclusion so are the deliberate fusion of UNIVERSE kind of nonsense they are doing in here. There is no purpose to the leader character as that of the original film. Like more than saving his family members it's more like "I NEED TO SHOW OFF" of how amazing I'm fighter or what not nonsense.

It's just terrible to watch. And it's a trend these days of over the top action following the likes of many Hollywood and even other trended PAN Indian religional films template following.

Next level of Tamil cinematic

[premarc · 10/10 · 19 October 2023]

Loki well directed and naratted a story ..special one for vijay fans and first half make me a high on lcu universe ...common audience u can't guess the story of movie but fully made-up of action sequence with rockstar Ani bgm will make ur mind Rocky. Screenplay graphic and specially hyena scene Tamil first VFX best graphic designers visuals u never ever scene before this is first and thalapathi he is always smart and cute ...he effort wordless ...really my heart felted every single shot of screen with vijay acting wahh..thalapathi career belongs to enter first 1000 cr box office collection movie history created soon .. I am trust this.

If the action wasn't this good, I would give it 7 stars

[nihal-38544 · 6/10 · 27 November 2023]

I watched this recently on Netflix. I think this is one the most violent films of Indian cinema and what Loki did with this movie was actually quite commendable. Talal that Vijay as Leo was raw, cunning, and deadly. The pace of the movie was well done and the scale this was graded on was done right. The movie hits the right cords and almost everything. The action was choreographed so sleek that you could not tell if there is a stunt double or not. Talking about the story, the story was good but I think it lacked a bit of seniority at parts. The issue I had with this was that he tells everyone that he isn't Leo but one guy in the movie looks at a picture of Leo and says he isn't Leo and he can tell by the eyes. That's a plot hole right there which didn't digest really well with me. Other than that, if you are a fan of movies like John Wick, your going to have the time of your life watching this.

Decent, Not bad as Critics say !

[sreejishibibavi · 8/10 · 23 October 2023]

I felt this movie is definitely better than Master but not upto Kaithi/Vikram level. More than 10mins could have been trimmed. The flashback scenes should have been shown as only glimpses because it did not justify the build-up. The build-up & hype for flashback was more than Rolex which the director failed to fullfill.

Still definitely - 7.5 to 8/10 Good to see Vijay is finally focusing on character rather than just flexing heroism.

Villain character were not strong as the background music. Could have added more scenes to it to justify their ferociousness.

LCU connect is just fine. Hope Lokesh has answers to all obvious questions from fans which may appear as forced scenes in the next part.

One word blockbuster mass movie and class movie

[purnesh-23416 · 10/10 · 19 October 2023]

Thalapathy vijay with action packed ,and mass character...leo with many twist and interval was mindblowing...definately 2023 my top 1 movie was leo thalapathy vijay sure..thalapathy always mass and fire.

'Leo', The Professional ;)

[sujanfaster · 7/10 · 24 October 2023]

Vijay has been one of the few big stars who has consistently released movies even during COVID years. There is a certain pressure directing Vijay I and we could clearly see that in Lokesh earlier venture, Master with him. Master's probably is the weakest work of Lokesh Kanagaraj. I think most of us already knew that Leo would be a part of LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe for someone who didn't know) considering how Lokesh solidified the universe around Vikram. The trailer didn't reveal too much apart from a stellar star cast. Despite having many famous actors in the movie Leo is out and out Vijay film and yet it is not his usual Vijay film.

Seeing the trailer and some other clips there has been parallels drawn to the movie "History of Violence". Kudos to Lokesh Kanagaraj for a deceiving trailer edit. I dont think Lokesh is trying to hide that he was inspired from the movie History of Violence, but I think he is just trying to pay an homage to it. That is the characteristic of Lokesh Kanagaraj just like how he has paid homage to multiple other movies in his previous films. The movie is set in Kashmir although shown in movie as Himachal Pradesh for the reasons we do not know revolves around a middle-aged man living a peaceful life with his family. Rest of the movie is about identity of the main character Parthiban played by Vijay and how he is fighting off the demons from the past or even if he actually has any. First half is crisp sets up sets up the character well and the incidents happening around the character makes sense. A lot of characters come and go and it feels kind of hard to track what is happening with respect to different characters. However, that does not deviate the movie from being entertaining. Second half of the movie with it's flashback story kind of turns out chaotic and not so reasonable at times. Leo has one of the best action sequences that I have seen in Indian movies in the recent times. The 2 fights in the first half are really well choreographed especially the action scene at the market. Anirudh slowly elevating background score does help the cause as well. Some people were not impressed with the car chase sequence in the second half, but I really liked it. Lokesh brings a unique viewer experience to that chase sequence it may not seem realistic, but still a treat to watch. The movie pretty much excels in all other technical departments. I think Lokesh finds it hard to balance the realistic and over the top nature of Vijay's character. He wants to show us Vijay as a vulnerable family man but also as a ruthless killer which may not resonate well all the times. The flashback episode isn't very convincing enough and does not have the emotional depth it is supposed to have. The choreography for the song "Naa Ready" is a marvel to watch and needs to be appreciated more. There is a LCU plug with the character from "Kaithi" but it is just for the hoots.

Playing roles suitable to their ages seems to be the new trend for the South Indian actors and which it does look quite good in the salt and pepper avatar. Vijay definitely has worked really hard in the role and he runs the show despite the movie having such a heavy star cast. But there are scenes where I miss the quieter and "mass" avatar of Vijay which we scene in many movies. Trisha as his wife has played a very convincing role and she has underplayed it well. While his kids' roles add to the family element, I feel that they did not necessarily need their own arcs at times. Gautam Menon's role is apt but I would have liked some more exciting elements added to his role. Both Sanjay Dutt's and Arjun Sarja roles have been underdeveloped and their purpose seems tiring at times. Sanjay Dutt has repeated interactions with Vijay's character at times without really adding much to the film. I believe that could have been better served by adding more to their roles in the flashback.

Lokesh Kanagaraj is definitely one of the genius filmmakers in the Indian cinema industry at the moment. Leo may not be his best work from a story and screenplay POV, but it is yet another great example of managing a big star's film with very few conventional elements to it.

Namma ooru pechiamma sathiyamaa Naa Leo illa da 🤣

[tc-venu · 1/10 · 10 November 2023]

Movie is fully inspired from history of violence in 1st half and Loki is forced to inject LCU in it.

So result is disaster!

First half is kind of engaging to know what will happen to parthiban next and kept audience think about him which was good.

Climax is the interval and after that story will just revolve around one thin line whether he is Leo or not.

The problem is audience already knew that by interval itself. So movie can run without audiences as we already know what will happen next.

Particularly Vijay's acting in Trisha's suspicion felt he is acting is good.. but we knew he is cheating and made us feel sorry for Trisha.

In climax, Arjun's therikka dialogues were full of comedy and he is wasted.

Vijay is killing 1000 people with no hesitation.

But crying loud when he killed 5 people in cafe!!

Style and mannerisms were copied from other movies and legendary actors.

Overall if parthiban would have said the dialogue which I mentioned in the title in first scene itself. They could have released only a trailer and saved lot of money.

Better luck next time for Loki to carefully write a story and hire some better writers.

Action Packed Experimental Movie

[rohitiscool-02352 · 9/10 · 20 October 2023]

This Movie was A Typical gangster movie with a Lokesh Twist onto it. This Movie experiments with a lot of things that we havent seen in the Tamil industry or maybe even bollywood.

Although, I am not a vijay fan He delivered a really good performance,It wasnt his usual "overly non sense Fight scenes", This is prooof that a good director can utilize an actors full performance.

Sanjay Dutt was good but not exceptional compared to what other actors of this cast reached.

Trisha Also Did a great job.

The CGI was questionable, it looked really good and refined in some places but most of the time it was not that great. It looked a bit unfinished in many places and also because of this many scenes were affected for me, Many Scenes were Downgraded with the use of artificial looking CGI. Although The Car sequence as we saw in the trailer was a bit artifical looking,When considering The industry standard It was pretty good.

And Finally, The music. I gotta say when taking In Anirudhs past Works, This movie quite didnt reach there, i think the music was pretty overused (except one bgm)but the background score was good but i expected the music and bgms to be like Vikram but it didnt quite reach. I am not saying the music was bad but when taking in other Works of Anirudh,It was quite Mid

Altogether i would say its a pretty great movie, We expected a great movie And LOKESH DELIVERED IT HEAVILY. I would highly recommend to watch it in the big screens because the experience for was just 🔥

Just another disappointment

[Rolex_17 · 6/10 · 6 November 2023]

Okay! So lets start. Leo..... tbh one of the worst movie made under the direction of Lokesh kanagraj. The movie has no such impact and power to perform at the big stage or to create a massive hype for being a part of cinematic universe. Forget about grand slam like Vikram. This movie doesn't even compete with Kaithi. As a movie freak you can clearly see how this movie is totally dedicated to Vijay and his fans. Its not a people movie. Its just a way to make Vijay and his fan base happy. The story is dim the characters are killed in an early stage where Vikram or Kaithi doesn't set the same tone. Once you watch this movie as a critic you will clearly understand that its all about Hero and you can clearly see no dedication or respect for your compounded movies and characters. Now why am I criticising? Because this movie shouldn't have been a part of universe and it could have been much better as a stand alone film. Yes! This movie could have been better as a stand alone film. The characters had so much in them to carry themselves and dominate LCU in the future were all killed just to make Vijay strong and make his fans happy. Especially characters like Anthony, Harold and Sandy the psycho. They had so much potential in them. Disappointed with the stroy telling, utilisation of characters. After trying to imprint in people's heads how strong Leo is in LCU Leo couldn't fill that space. If you see Rolex with just 5 minutes of his work he defined art of acting and same goes to Anthony and Harold. Now the rumours are that Leo will be the biggest villain and the most strongest character of LCU sounds ridiculous. Rolex has already won that spot and should be in it.

Director should attend physics lessons first.

[binkaboink-119-404909 · 1/10 · 3 December 2023]

Fantastic how the hero can exit a head on crashing vehicle at high speeds, through the front shattered windscreen, fall on the road, wrist first, and get up without a scratch. Any normal human would have had the head sliced open and brains scattered throughout the town.

Oh. Also, a superhuman where he can ride a motorcycle with one hand, hold a heavy single fire rifle in the other and shoot with deadly accuracy and cause cars to flip on command. Not forgetting how he swapped from a motorcycle to a car seamlessly.

The whole movie was an insult to physics in general and my intelligence as a human on planet earth.

Excellent 🔥

[saisanthoshpersonal · 8/10 · 20 October 2023]

Please watch it to witness a different Vijay. 🔥 Terrific experience. Screenplay and BGM. Everyone says second half could have been a bit better. Even though it's actually true, the first half and the last 30 mins compensates for it.

The first 90 mins is bliss followed a bit mediocre 30 mins and a high octane terrific last 30 mins.

Positives: Vijay - It is not a regular Vijay movie. You won't see The regular body language, mannerism.

Lokesh's screenplay 🔥🔥🔥 Anirush music 🔥🔥🔥 Anbariv stunts 🔥🔥🔥 Negatives: Villains could have been better written.

So many known faces in the cast makes us expect more from them.

Overall : A Loki, Vijay, Ani & Anbariv sambhavam! 🔥

Now this came as a wow

[rehmankhilji · 6/10 · 3 December 2023]

Movies like KKK and Bahubali sparked my interest in the South Indian film industry due to their unique cinematic styles. However, upon watching several films, I must admit I was quite disappointed as they didn't align with my taste.

I even viewed films featuring Joseph Vijay, and I couldn't comprehend why he was considered a star. However, this particular movie proved me wrong. All my doubts were dispelled, and it turned out to be an absolute delight.

The key here is to avoid reading any reviews; the film unfolds with a unique suspense that is beautifully executed, leaving you intrigued throughout. While the action scenes might be a bit over-the-top (typical of South Indian cinema), they are well worth the experience.

I highly recommend watching it - don't miss out.

Best movies

[jananiunka · 10/10 · 20 October 2023]

The writing in the first half: Superb, even when it's A History of Violence contextualized for Tamil sensibilities. Every scene carries a decent tempo, and the developments make you sit up. The whole hyena angle is beautifully executed, and its payoff in the climax is wonderful. The title card placement is a nice creative touch on Lokesh's part.

Brilliant cinematography: Manoj Paramahamsa's frames wonderfully capture the Kashmiri locales (even though the film is "set" in Theog, Himachal Pradesh) with Parthipan's (Vijay) cafe looking remarkably aesthetic in that first fight sequence. When the film gets action-heavy, the use of the mocobot camera is put to fine effect.

Satisfied

[koushiksudan · 7/10 · 24 October 2023]

Positives: Vijay showed off his beast,every character gave their careers best.

Anirudh's bgm made the movie more interesting and movie contains so many bgm's that will blast the screens for every scene.

Anirudh's music takes the movie to next level that makes audience off their seat.

Good cinematography and VFX work

Negatives: Some fight scenes take too much time than necessary.

Story line is a bit unsatisfactory especially climax doesn't feel that much satisfactory compared to Vikram.

Expected LCU connection more.

Overall a watchable movie especially for Vijay and lokesh kanakaraj fans.

ITS A TOW TOW TOW YEAR LEO

[anitahil · 10/10 · 20 October 2023]

Loki, Ani & Thalapathy rocked. It was the best treat to Thalapathy fans packed with electrifying action sequences, a gripping storyline, and Thalapathy's exceptional performance. As what Loki mentioned first 10 mins must not missed but for me this movie will keep all of us on the edge of the seat from start to finish. The movie takes us on a thrilling journey as Leo fights for justice, love, and redemption.

The action sequences are nothing short of electrifying, with Thalapathy's impeccable stunts and intense fight scenes leaving us the audience in awe. Thalapathy's portrayal of Leo is undoubtedly one of his best performances to date.

The choreography and special effects elevate the movie to a whole new level, making it a visual treat for action enthusiasts.

Overall, Leo is a mass and electrifying movie that showcases Thalapathy at his best. With its gripping plot, breathtaking action sequences, and Thalapathy's stellar performance, it is a film that will leave all of us thoroughly entertained and wanting more. Whether you are a fan of Vijay or simply enjoy a well-crafted action-packed movie, Leo is a must-watch.

All good

[dilshadname · 7/10 · 5 December 2023]

The entire film is based on the same suspense of Leo being alive or dead and how was this not shown alive in the entire film. Anurag Kashyap did the best job. I don't know how he did such a small role in this film and even why he did it. Vijay and Trisha have got the maximum frame in this film and all the actors revolve around them. Sanjay Dutt's work was also good but he got less seren and could have got more. The actor who played the role of Vijay's son has also done a good job, he has done justice to the work. The funniest role name Napoleon has done the best job is to guard the house till his death. Overall I liked the film.
