[@sankarsshanansundararajan8829]

Its just my opinion but the movie would have been so much better if it wasn't revealed that Parthi was actually Leo until the very end. Would have been more powerful if Vikram revealed his identity over the phone call.. Vikram literally fooled everyone and made them believe that he was dead so he could have easily seen through Leo's bullshit and drama. That way the LCU connect would have felt even more significant to the plot.. My point is, the reveal that Parthi was indeed Leo could have been more subtle, like after the phone call, he goes back to join his family for breakfast but he just does some kind of mannerism that Leo does in flashback(that only the audience knows but the family doesnt, like rolling the revolver) and movie ends right there

[@irfanspubg4236]

Exactly matching my mind thoughts💥 If vikram revealed Leo in climax and both laughs then vikram says arambikalama and Vijay says Bloody sweet would have blast the whole theatre💥🥵

[@vj12343]

Exactly. Parthis reveal that he is Leo twice in the movie totally sucked out the excitement. As a man who claims to be reformed and wanting to live as a normal man, he would not reveal that and act like him with changed mannerisms. Vikram revealing at the end would’ve been fantastic and such a high at the end .

Elissa's character intro could be a fight scene. More scenes for Elissa-Leo like Black Hawk-Black Widow.

Some random KZbin comment 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.

I assume Harold Das is the lead for the Rolex standalone movie. This movie can't be reviewed or viewed as 1 movie, needs to be viewed as a whole (LCU). Kaithi is about the intro for "Scorpio" labeled the drug. Vikram is about identifying logistics about "Scorpio" labeling the drug. Leo is about the origin of the manufacturing of Datura. Rolex could be the link to how Datura becomes "Scorpio" labeling the drug and revealing missing links in Leo and leading more for Kathi 2 and Vikram 2.

There were many scenes well written too. This is a much better film than master and most of Vijay’s films recently. It’s kinda shocking that people are talking only abt the negatives. Weirdly baddy said VTK worked for him and it’s one of tthe most important gangster film in Tamil, but Leo didn’t work for him. Come on guys. Don’t be so negative. Probably Vijay will stop experimenting and go back to his comfort zone and even Lokesh might start playing safe from his next film.

This is the issue with casting Vijay or Rajini. Nothing wrong with them and i like them both but they have become a huge mass hero that directors are forced to make the movie revolve around them rather than all the characters revolving around the script. Simple trick in getting a movie successful is give screen space to the villan(s). The more to create a good villain. If we take all the good movies, the importance of a great villain and side characters can be seen. Nowadays people are celebrating villains and small characters in the movie. Even lokesh did it in the past with nepoleon, Rolex, santhanam, even arjun dass. I was really hoping to see amazing villain by arjun sarja or sanjay dutt. Huge disappointment.

[@shayijanansujaharan219]

[@thanavendanatonysamy1330]

The first 10 mins many ppl just focussed on the hyena scene but so many hints were missed by the audience. Eg: 1) when joshi called parthi, the name leo appears in his phone screen, which means joshi is aware that parthi is leo. 2) parthi tells anthony dass in the coffee shop that he hates cigarette smell. However in the very first scene that parthi fights the hyena, he lights up the bomb with cigarette in his mouth. There are many more clues like this given in the first 10 mins .. judging loki from his previous movies, there must be a reason for the flat 2nd half. Probably more plots will be revealed in his upcoming lcu movies

[@brindabalasubramanian]

I felt the same way after I watched it for the first time. The gaslighting scene was the one that bothered me the most. Then I rewatched the movie. This movie and the character is layered, and with the new perspective it becomes clear that the protagonist is Parthipan. He is a morally complex character. He tries Joshi to stop telling the backstory of Anthony Das, he emotionally manipulates his wife and gaslights her to desperately keep 'Parthipan' alive. Leo, his deluded "alter ego" is the antagonist that the whole fight is actually against. Agree that the flashback scene was weak, but also alludes to unreliable narration. I feel the reason the Das brothers were weak as villains is because the real antagonist was Leo Das. In the end, the main thesis of the entire movie is Parthipan (the morally grey protagonist) fighting to keep Leo dead.

[@vinithradhakrishnan8969]

Parthiban is definitely a complex character. It's actually possible he didn't manipulate anybody. He seems to truly believe he's Parthiban, an ordinary Cafe owner and animal rescuer. But a series of unfortunate incidents proves to him that Leo is still very much alive. I think that's why he cries at the Cafe. For 20 years, he thought Leo was dead and he was just Parthiban. The following events are an internal conflict between Parthi and Leo. I saw the scenes with Joshi and Sathya as more like Parthi convincing himself that he was Parthi and nobody else. But at the end, even if for a short time, Leo completely takes over. Notice how he doesn't enjoy killing anybody until that point. When he killed Harold, that was Leo. The laugh, the style, it was as if he was reveling in the violence. The flashback,however, is the weakest link. I don't think the concept of unreliable narration works here. It comes off more like an excuse rather than a cleverly executed technique considering how bad the flashback scenes were written. If that was executed properly, Leo would have been a very good movie overall. Also, no question of Leo Das being the antagonist because he isn't, storywise. Even if we assume he is, for argument's sake, that's not an excuse for making Antony and Harold Das as weak characters. Poorly written characters don't make for good entertainment. Imo, Antony Das had the potential to be a scary villain but was wasted. As it stands, the first half was fantastic. The second half was average. I might probably watch it again in theatres just for the first half. I really enjoyed it.

That's not how it should be. Their intro made me think they were going to be a huge threat. At least Sanjay Dutt had a couple of interesting scenes but Arjun's Harold Das was a complete letdown. You can completely take Harold out of the film and not miss anything. That's just bad character design.

The worst part was when parti uses Leo bangle/whatever you name it. It felt awkward coz why parti still want something to remember about a past he trying to forget so hard. Arjun and sanjay dutt character has no real motive, that was real bad writing/execution. I don't care about vfx even how bad it is if the story holds me grip. Btw I'm a turtle but this was honest opinion tho

BR is like that one disappointed class teacher who expected his favorite topper student to score centum in his subject but that student has failed to score good marks.

[@qwerttzizzi]

At this point I am bit scared if Loki is capable of a movie where he can handle all these stars in a single movie..we are expecting an Avengers level movie..but Loki clearly showed that he is not really good in including stars like Sanjay Dutt and Arjun. Sandy was a way better villain in this movie..and the backstory with the sister stuff felt like a whole different movie.

[@tnzone353]

[@lazyyoutuber1237]

The only weakness of this movie was the flashback. They took everything from history of violence except it's damm good flashback. Maybe Loki only watched history of violence movie and not the comic. Because that movie has no flashback

( PICTURE YOURSELF ..... VIJAY One man show it is indeed !!! ) 💪 - 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. #LeoIndustryHit #LeoBlockbuster #Leo #Shared

[@adhithyak5377]

Wow , if we see it like this , Leo is a very very good movie

[@meena7206]

They will not celebrate by lifting Leo picture. Instead when Harold lifted the picture, everyone in the crowd will shout that ‘I will chop Leo’s head’, this is where the director confused the audience. We still don’t know why Antony and Harold want Leo back . Why do they need him?

Arjun's best villainism is shown in Irumbu Thirai. Splendid performance. Agree Arjun could have been utilised better enough. And instead of Vikram calling Leo in the End, If Rolex called in to threaten him like this is the moment he was waiting for and now Das and Co territory is his to manage and Leo just tells him again He is not Leo but if again he gets a call like this you dont want to see what I can do sort of thing it would have been lit. 💥💥💥

[@SeekMusic352]

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.

[@abelfrans9599]

He is a proper film "critic." Recent films have proved that film critics are very overrated.

[@chandravadhanankannan3303]

I think the guess is correct he is setting the basement correct he is just showed who is LEO. We cannot compare Vikram because Vikram had old movie as a reference. I see this movie as parallel world of drugs. Even in avengers not all the characters movies are top notch. So lets wait for the ENDGAME... Vikram 2.

[@PremRaj-ok7fw]

Loki introduced a new universe (leo) coming in to lcu so they just showing leo world villain.. after this might show real lcu villains(stronger).. i dont find it forced lcu connection.. its a smooth connection of a guy going in to lcu recruited by vikram.. simple connection.. loki did a great job but we expected to much in the name of lcu.. sometimes a few character cameo is enough to introduce a new character in a universe… the prob is everyone expected a big star cameo like what loki did in vikram… there’s a difference between recruiting a new guy from a separate gang or world in to the big universe and a story which is fully involve in that lcu story.. its like marvel/dcu new character introduction movie.. for me it really worked well 4/5 ✨ ..

Thalapathy's acting was brilliant. Lokesh knew the remake of history of violence is not going to satisfy the audience, maybe thalapathy fans would've enjoyed, but to create a hype between general audience, he included 1 small character from kaithi and another voiceover at post credit, which looked like those LCU things were forcefully implemented into a standalone movie. Hopefully the connect justifies in upcoming movies

It's like watching a remake movie and telling it's predictable 😂 Of course you can !! he took the inspiration out of it and made his version for the Tamil audience. Savaram 7 and any music made settles within that so there is no new story ever made especially after 60yrs+ Tamil cinema. It's easy to be a critic, I can be too but the same person cannot make a movie!! Considering the stardom of Thalapathy there are like 360 angles the writer should think of. Chumma vandhu enaku work aagala na.. People talk as if they invented cinema. People like Thalapathy never make movies for critics, he makes it for his fans and cinema lovers who view cinema as entertainment. This so-called critics have never appreciated when his movies were extraordinary and that's one reason why he doesn't have any filmfare, SIMA Or national award. His biggest asset and award is his fans and he purely puts heart, soul and body into it and he is worth every single penny.

baradwaj was right in 18:34 , loki really removed alot of good scenes because in the scene where vijay crying infront of trisha because she suspected him, there was a small dialogue given by vijay highlighting that his son saying "nee unmaiyave en appava" nu but loki didn't include scene which lead to that dialogue..also if u watch carefully arjun character feels like he doesn't love anyone in the family, he only cares about his drug stuff

[@burn7752]

If you watch closely, Vijay's crying was fake to his wife, and you will only know at the end of the story. The crying part to his wife was to convince more strongly that he is not Leo. So, when he already knew Trisha was planning to find out about him, his job as Parthi was to convince everyone close to him 100% that he is not Leo, and the most important person was his wife. It was a good movie, to be honest. Whatever was said by Bradwaj Rangan is his story, not Loki's. Expecting every star cast role to be well-defined doesn't work in a movie but is better off as a series. Watch it as Loki's story, not our own, and I'm very sure it will satisfy the audience. Loki showed how naive and innocent kids can be, as his daughter was the only person to trust her father 100%. It also showed the love between the daughter and her dad. To build Sanjay Dutt and Arjun's characters, I guess, from Loki's point of view, is not needed because they are not 'Thani Oruvan' Sidharth Abhimanyu. They were just typical cartel members and not the smart, genius kind of villain. Being rich and gangsters doesn't mean they are extremely smart. Watch them as characters, not stars.

He said exactly what my opinion about leo Adv 1. performance of vijay and other actors are good 2.camara and fights came out very well 3.good idea of the scene. Dis advantage: 1. The screen presence of villans is very less 2. Due to the 1st reason the story doesn't have a plot to connect. 3. As they are using big actors for a small duration role, the intensity of the character doesn't reveal. So overall, it works for fans and the normal audience, But for cinema freaks,and LCU fans will be disappointed. If the same story is written by any other director we will accept it but as it is a lokesh expectation was high and disappointed less. It's a good film but not a lokesh film(50%) .

[@kayal723]

A film will always have flaws but if something makes you sit and watch the entire time then it does accomplish what it was meant to deliver..there where dramatic areas on the film but as Bharathwaj said its a good movie but with some flaws..definitely watchable and you should enjoy everyones screen presence ..Go to theatres without expectation you will definitely enjoy the film as a whole.

Bhardwaj, you pointed it out exactly at 8.33, this is a new age cinema, audience carry the liberty to imagine some of the backstories as per their imagination like how we do it while reading novels.

LEO works for me 100%. I am a neutral fan, do not support any particular actor. Just saw LEO yesterday. I was in the edge of my seat the entire movie. From begining to the end. Just like I was in Kaithi and in Vikram. People do not have any idea how hard it is to make a realistic CGI. The entire movie had great VFX works. The haeyena sequence man, OMG was jaw droppingly detailed and entertaining. Very believable. And the action sequence are Hollywood level. The acting by Vijay , Trisha, Arjun, Sunjay , Gowtham and everyone else psycho role played by the dance master were outstanding. The LCU integration is also very interesting. But still people want to talk about negatives for sake of talking about it. LEO works for me 100%.
