Leo Movie Review
Parthiban (Vijay) lives in a snow-covered terrestrial globe world, which is comprised of his wife Sathya (Trisha) and two children. A modest fissure lets in some air into his flawless world, and what pursues is a cyclone that unconditionally devastates the globe. Will Parthiban be able to save his family and reassemble the perfect picture of the snow globe?
Lokesh Kanagaraj has assembled a justifying cast for his film LEO, like Vijay Thalapathy, Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Sarja. Well, the story of Leo somewhere lets the audience keep guessing whether Vijay is Leo Das or Parthiban, and also keeps the suspense so that the audience will stick to their seats till the end.
The first hour of the movie was impressive and engaging, but the second half was the main drawback of the film. And all the characters, especially Trisha, have done a marvellous act and grabbed attention as well. Manoj Paramahamsa’s cinematography was praiseworthy; Philomin Raj’s editing was quite good in the first half, but in the second half, the main character was not up to par. VFX worked quite well in the film, and Anirudh‘s music declined to touch Vikram’s lavel.
Baap of Movies Review
Lokesh Kanagaraj helmed the third installment of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) Leo’s first part was impactful and gripped the audiences in their seats, but unfortunately, the second half was unable to hold consistency. The film was unable to capture the glory of franchise. But due to the Pre-hype and franchaise value, it can make a handsome collection at the box office.
