Leo Vs Jailer Trp Battle: After Beating Rajinikanth’s Jailer At The Worldwide Box Office, Thalapathy Vijay Has Grabbed The Television Crown As Well! ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo, though, received a mixed response from the critics, but fans across the globe made sure to make it sail through the box office. It reached a level where it surpassed Rajinikanth’s much-appreciated 2023 film Jailer at the worldwide Bo.
The Trp ratings are in, and they’re pretty similar to the worldwide box office result. It also proves how Vijay fans are not only the ones watching his films in the cinema halls, but they’ll also switch on the television to watch it again whenever it premieres.
The difference between the TRPs of Leo and Jailer is not that high, but Thalapathy Vijay has beaten Rajinikanth to emerge as a winner in this one. Just like how, with 607 crores,...

Lokesh Kanagaraj is one of those writer-directors who is known for making exceptionally entertaining films, often called the ‘masala’ potboilers. But his films have an attractive quality, and they are not necessarily ‘bad,’ artistically speaking. Sure, his films have larger-than-life characters, but his writing always gives them a strong emotional core, which is why his films become relatable and enjoyable. His new film Leo is another one in his ‘Lokesh Cinematic Universe’ where we see Thalapathy Vijay in his well-known action avatar. There are Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Sarja, who play the Das brothers in the film and act as Vijay’s nemesis in the film. Once Antony Das and his brother Harold figure that Leo, Antony’s son, may still be alive and living as Parthiban in Shimla, they pay him a visit to uncover the truth and settle the scores once and for all. Sanjay Dutt as Antony is menacing to look at,...

With “Leo,” Indian director Lokesh Kanagaraj adds another “badass” to the growing network of formidable action heroes he calls the “Lokesh Cinematic Universe.” How do we know this guy’s a badass? Because the Tamil film’s techno soundtrack tells us so, chanting “Leo Das is a badass!” before even establishing who Leo Das is. By this time, the character in question has already wrestled a wild hyena into submission with his bare hands. He goes by the name Parthiban, not Leo Das, but signs are clear that he knows how to punch, kick and shoot his way out of a jam.
“Badass” is one of those out-of-touch grandpa words: a stock description of septuagenarian tough guys like Liam Neeson and Samuel L. Jackson whose violent deeds seem to clash with their surface appearance. It doesn’t usually apply to nepo villains like Leo, who’s more of a flash-mobster than an actual gangster,...

The much-awaited Tamil action thriller film Leo, starring Vijay and Sanjay Dutt, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is all set to hit the theatres on October 19, 2023. However, the Hindi version of the film will not be released in the national multiplex chains such as PVR, Inox, Cinepolis and Carnival. The reason behind this decision is the short Ott window of just four weeks, which means that the film will be available on Netflix within a month of its theatrical release1
This move has disappointed many fans of Vijay and Sanjay Dutt, who were eagerly waiting to watch the film on the big screen. The film is expected to be a blockbuster, as it marks the second collaboration of Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj after Master (2021), which was a huge success.

Movie Review‘Khiladi’ is a film meant only to please Ravi Teja and his fans, so it is inevitable that the movie’s director, Ramesh Varma Penmetsa, goes overboard.Balakrishna GaneshanA good film should be like a journey. You should be immersed in that world. Some characters you might love, others might be disliked, but basically you should be able relate to them. Khiladi’s director Ramesh Varma Penmetsa also seems to believe in this theory albeit partially, but instead of taking us on a journey, he takes us for a ride. Khiladi stars actors Ravi Teja (playing the role of Mohan Gandhi), Meenakshi Chaudhary (Pooja) and Dimple Hayathi (Chandini) in lead roles. Khiladi opens with a tragic premise of Gandhi serving a prison sentence on false charges. He is accused of killing his own family members including his wife. And Pooja, who is a psychology student, ends up doing a thesis on him.

ReviewThough worth watching on the big screen for its making, the film is heavily inspired by 'Troy' and the lack of originality makes it predictable. Sowmya RajendranMarakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham is Priyadarshan's ambitious film on Kunjali Marakkar, a warrior who fought in the army of the Zamorin in 16th century Kozhikode and was instrumental in defending the coast from the Portuguese. The details about his life are sketchy, and this is something that the film acknowledges right at the beginning. What unfolds, therefore, isn't entirely an accurate rendering of history but a fictional account that takes inspiration from several other stories of war, betrayal, loyalty and grandeur. To the team's credit, the visuals are stunning — from the dreamy song sequence between the young Kunjali (Pranav Mohanlal) and his bride (Kalyani Priyadarshan) to the stormy seas and bloodied battlefield. Pranav's close resemblance to Mohanlal, who plays the older Kunjali, makes...
