Tiger Nageswara Rao Movie Review

Box office emperor Thalapathy Vijay has teamed up with sensational filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj for the action drama, Leo. Ever since its announcement, the film has been creating a buzz and now the hype has reached unprecedented levels. The advance bookings have indicated that Leo is going to be a massive hit at the ticket windows. Let’s find out if this much-anticipated film lives up to the expectations.

The story revolves around Parthiban (Thalapathy Vijay), a normal family man who runs a cafe in Theog, Himachal Pradesh. He lives with his wife Satya (Trisha) and their two children. One day, some goons attack Parthiban’s cafe and threaten to harm his daughter and a worker. With no other choice, Parthiban takes matters into his own hands and eliminates the gangsters, but this puts his family in danger. Just when Parthiban is dealing with all the chaos, gangsters Antony Das (Sanjay Dutt) and Harold Das (Arjun) enter his life, believing that Parthiban is their family member, Leo Das (Thalapathy Vijay). Who is this Leo Das? What happened to him? And how does Parthiban manage to navigate through this turmoil? These questions form the crux of the film.

The first half of the movie is engaging, with a deliberately slow pace. The hyena scene and the subsequent family drama immerse us into Parthiban’s world. The focus here is on establishing the characters and the protagonist’s life in a meticulous manner. The film reaches its peak during the intense cafe fight scene.

Thalapathy Vijay’s vulnerability is portrayed brilliantly, making the action sequences in the first hour truly exhilarating. Vijay proves that he is not just a star, but also a talented actor. Leo showcases his acting prowess perfectly. The fight scenes in the first half are well-executed, and Vijay’s performance, along with the well-crafted action sequences, keeps the audience engaged.

The interval block sets up the second half nicely, leaving us eager to see what unfolds next. Leo boasts some outstanding action sequences and impressive cinematography. Trisha delivers a fine performance in her role. The movie promises to be a thrilling ride.
