Because we just got out before a lot of you. Yep. Have even gotten in. To the of the film Leo the new Anyways the 2023 lokesh Written and directed film with the music by Aani of course starring The one and only Tharapathi Vijay and Sanjay Dutt and Trisha And obviously a whole bunch of other people but Vijay Tharapathi itself We saw this at about 3 30 our time. Yeah, it's now midnight And so that is 4 a.m. For India They actually did this where everybody in the world kind of had the exact same start right the drop time Yeah, which I I prefer me to But since we just saw it what and we will say For a 3 30 in the afternoon weekday matinee This was there were almost 30 people in the house with us Which I know that for for India doesn't seem like anything. No, but for for here. That's a lot. That's probably more than we've had Since I don't maybe are yeah, most matinees we're we're alone or there's two or three people with us Yeah, so it was a great turn. This is a big big turn out vocal obviously a very highly anticipated film since it is This is gonna be mostly non-spoiler and If we want to get them some spoils, I promise because I know I promise you We will warn you and we will not spoil it in the in the non-spoiler section Because I know this is just a highly anticipated film for a lot of people We're not gonna spoil anything for you let the movie tell the story But we're gonna talk about it obviously correct and in our thoughts about it. Yes In the non-spoiler so right now you're safe. Yeah, right now you haven't seen it We're not gonna give anything away. No So Rick your initial non-spoiler thoughts of Leo Bloody sweet at one point which is typical of Andrani She'll about halfway through the runtime of a movie that she knows I'm watching and she'll text me and she'll say how's it going? Because she'll want to touch base and sometimes I reply back with I it's excruciating It's really really rough or I'll reply with you know, it's going really great My reply at the time was good thumbs up really entertaining. I This is this is what I was hoping for it was really entertaining with Really solid story and for an action movie the acting for me was just So delightful to watch because so many action films That's kind of just like icing on the cake for a lot of action films And and this one had some surprising moments for me where acting was the highlight of the moment So I I really enjoyed it. Yeah, I Didn't feel like somebody just like jumped on our car. I just did that. Oh, you did. Yeah Paranoia will destroy it It's Leo But anyways, yeah, I really enjoyed this film I was a very entertaining film very entertaining just like Vikram wise yeah in terms of like if the the style of it the the feel of that same DNA In all that so I feel like if you if you like that one, you're really gonna enjoy this one as well if you like VJ you're gonna you're gonna get what you want. I feel at least yeah, I can't imagine why anyone would be disappointed Yeah, yeah fan of his yeah, I don't I don't or low cash. I think you're gonna you're gonna get what you were hoping for yeah, it was a a Very entertaining film the crowd was in it. And so that was that was a lot of fun Yeah, Ani's background score was a lot of fun some surprises some laughs and surprises Yeah, and Ani score alone Yeah, there's some stuff we'll talk about about later on if we get into some spoils Yes, it's all good, but it was overall a very entertaining film. Yes action film I thought the action did very the cinema whoever the son. Yeah, I have it here. Yeah, the cinematography cinematography and sound design from So good and the editor I thought did a very good job as yeah and sound design and production design everything It fit the universe very well. Yep in Lee and then in Vikram and It was the first one Kythe right But my Polly if I had a the big gripe And it's not and this is not a spoiler anything and we watched the if you think I know what you're gonna say you saw the Interview we saw him talk about it. Yeah, I Know he was trying something new right I just wish he would have stuck with practical more and I think he could have it was I found some of the spots No, no, it would have been Difficult to do practical on a couple of spots, but I think for someone who loves practical and stays away from CGI It was forgivable for me, you know what I mean any any of the spots where you clearly can see oh, that's clearly CGI It was so far and few between and some of the CGI was really good So it was it was forgivable for me hold sorry just had some technical difficulties And so we're losing some light and my mic just went out. So sorry and we were talking about the VFX I and like I said, it wasn't bad. There was actually some VFX stuff that was very good Like you saw in the trailer like I thought the hyena. It's not a spoiler I think they spent a lot of time on the hyena and so that was a good job Yep, but there's other times that I'm just like I liked How he how much he uses practical like in Vikram or in Kythe? It just because it doesn't distract practically usually just doesn't and I know there's limits to it, but If I had a the biggest gripe with this film and it that wouldn't be a huge gripe or either But that would be my biggest gripe is that I I know he was trying something because that's what he said in the interview I just Personal preference wise I would have preferred the more practical than than going more VFX right Yeah, I agree not that the film relied heavily on VFX I would say I would say truly of the amount of screen time It gets it probably gets maybe eight nine percent of the screen time Yeah, as far as the actual but the spots where you see it and you go. Oh, yeah, that didn't work So the rest of it ninety two percent of the time. It's not even a problem or an issue. So absolutely and Let's talk about Everything else once again not spoilers VJ I thought did a very good job very similar to what he he brought in master in in terms of like His groundedness his and this was I 100% believe this was a hundred percent a lokesh film right not a kind of 50 50 So what you've heard about that and and I feel like VJ really surrendered to to lokesh and what he wanted to and and no spoilers I mean, I've already seen a few things. We've seen a few things enough to know that he's he's a good actor That that's probably my favorite take away from this and I have a lot of good to take away My favorite takeaway from this was the moments where I leaned back in the chair and went Damn, you're you're really committed to this as a real character that you want to be Not just some action hero when you have to do an emotional scene at any time He had to have an emotion expressed. There was no indicating there was no show It was very genuine and there's one particular scene that it's just it's it is looks like it's straight out of a drama It's just a really that was such a wonderful thing for me to enjoy the action and enjoy the you know The music and everything else you expect but to have Just some really wonderful moments with all with all of the actors But especially with with him and her and with Sanjay Dutt. Yeah, Sanjay Dutt did the same thing Sanjay Dutt is I thought he did a like what I think I wanted in Kgf. I think I got here. I Not just I'm not talking to from Sanjay Dutt itself in terms of like to clarify Kgf2. Yeah, sorry Yeah, in terms of like as a film in terms of like walk away feeling a mass film the expectation that has really good fights Yep, some good story Yep, some good acting, but you will go away as a very entertained film And bringing Sanjay Dutt not that he was really the issue with Kgf2. No, I actually thought he was a good villain I think he plays a very good villain It's just as a whole since it has some of similarities to Kgf2 as Sanjay Dutt as as one of the Protagonist I guess and take and sorry not a protagonist. Um, I Thought he did a very good job. They made him look really men not that hard Face for the camera low cash. I'm doing all those clothes exactly and there was some I I felt bad And this is not spoilers because I'm not gonna say anybody, but there's certain I'm guessing cameos that come about. Oh, yeah that that the audience erupted and was laughing right and so they have certain lines being said yes We're going I wish I knew what that meant like the whole theater was in a riot So clearly this is a guy that obviously they've grown up with we've met have seen in the past So if you've seen the film now, obviously you probably know who I'm talking about Because I'm not gonna give that away, but obviously it's not a spoiler that there's cameos there Yeah, there's actually a lot of quite a few cameos But yeah, I think we still have a lot to learn which is one of the sad parts We actually when we got out of the theater Say a family that was sitting in front of us They probably heard us whistling and cheering and laughing in front of like did did you guys understand the language or like Politely saying Exactly, we did have a stupid baby turn around go. Hey, yeah, yeah So that was that was nice, but there's there's a couple moments like that in the film that I'm sure as a Tamillion specifically yeah that it it's heightened based off of whoever shows up on screen and not just that there's there's References throughout some of them. We got some of them. We didn't that low cash users that aren't just people There's other things he does that are tips of the cat. They're Easter eggs for lack of a better term Yeah, that a Tamillion is going to get absolutely based on the audience. I think this is gonna be a real crowd-pleaser. Yeah Anybody any way that part of India and it was a I Think another aspect that maybe I wanted slightly more in certain areas in other areas. I thought it excelled was Some violence which in certain scenes. They really delivered Yeah, they did they really in but then in others like other fight scenes right then once again, that's not a spoiler You know, there's gonna be fight scenes But I just I was like I wanted more of some of the stuff that gave in other fight scenes I was in more I was thinking quite a bit about the interview Yeah things that he was saying in the interview and there's stuff that we will talk about in a moment when we're getting into spoilers Because I agree with you, but I can't say yeah Yeah, without giving it away, but like it's not that I'm disappointed. I was I thought it's very very good It was great, but like I said if I'm trying to find nitpicks with the film In terms of stuff that I just I if I'm trying to make the film better who am I to tell look I should I make a Look at let me tell you how to make a film Those would be some of the issues not really issues, but some of the kind of gripes Other than that music was great All the acting was great. There wasn't really a weak link and so that was great including the young actors Yeah, yeah, and some of the Sometimes and thankfully there's no white people the the the small roles of you know sidekick villains and stuff can often be Lackluster nobody was lackluster. Yeah at all It was it was very nice. I stayed interested throughout. It's I mean it's yeah for almost a three-hour film I've got a long runtime, but it doesn't feel long. No, absolutely not Because there's obviously certain films that are about the same runtime Yeah, that man. Do you feel oh? Yeah, you're looking at your watch going when you're gonna end? Yeah, then this one It keeps you interested this one kept me engaged. You had a good pace Yep It had good payoff every once in a while of to keep you engaged and keep you interested There's some really great fight scenes. Yeah, great story some really good story And other than that like I don't because I don't want to give anything else away I think you're gonna if you go watch this you're gonna be Really happy walking. Yeah, it deserves it deserves the love I mean, I don't know how you can't be a fan of action just action in and of itself Add to it, you know the stars add to it low cash add to it Onnie, I just don't know why anybody would walk out of this and not having walked out happy They had a good time it deserves it deserves the support in box office I know I had a really good time me too. So if you have if you haven't watched it Obviously, I know a bunch of you're just gonna go watch it probably in there's like an hour maybe 20 minutes or whatever You might be watching this as you're going to this is the end of the non spoilers We're gonna get into some spoils. So if you have not seen it go away go away come back This is now only for you. Yeah, I've seen this film now. Remember when VJ died. Oh my stars Get out of here if you have not seen it. This is now for only those who've seen it And now you don't know if that was a spoiler. Yeah Um Anyways spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers spoilers Okay So it was actually a lot of speculation of whether this was actually the little cash universe Really? Yeah before it came out. Yeah, there was speculation. Oh, well, I think I think I think I think everybody assumed it is yes But like it was kind of like up in the like cuz he even said in the interviews like yeah, you'll find out tomorrow But yeah, obviously it's part of that. That was a it was a fun little there was a bunch of cameos of a bunch of different actors Yeah, I wish we knew more of some that I thought were coming that that didn't come right. I turned it right. Oh, that's But the What you you're saying cuz I was talking about the fights Yeah, the thing about the fights I agree with you and I was thinking about Lokesh's interview when he talked about the limitations He has yeah compared to some of the things that he was asked in regard to the Tom Cruise films and Keanu Reeves films Which I think there's not a fair comparison for anybody doing action. Yeah, but money was yeah, exactly But it was interesting cuz I see what you're saying in terms of wanting like the beginning fight scenes were really really Yes, and it did feel when we got the one in the cafe and that we were seeing kind of the same Yeah, style of thing. Yeah, yet at the same time I really appreciated the intimacy of all of the all of the fight work. It was more the only real Spectacle was him on the motorcycle chasing the cars, which was actually really cool That was a cool sequence like and and of course the bombastic. I love the warehouse Oh, yeah fight scene and then that that was with the big that camera shot Yeah, that was worth the price of admission like the car one, which was very CGI obviously and you saw it But I prefer that car scene over the one in kgf2 where they kept just going to black Like there was like a weird like even though like it looked cool Yeah, and I think it was all practical, but I think they They kept going to black and it was just weird the way they decided to edit that thing I just kept thinking to myself watching this one. It's like this is movie magic man This is this is a lot of the stuff There's gonna be so many people especially young people scratching their head going how'd they do that? Yeah Yeah, and they really spent a little like the cgi they like they really a bunch of animals a bunch of There was more than I was expected more CGI than I was expecting I thought I was like the Hain at the beginning Which also I it's just a weird note does VJ run like that That's a strange run Does anybody else know that? like here's a like his his And I'm not trying to insult that because I know you guys think anything I say is an insult I'm not insulting him. I just like I don't think I'd ever seen him run and I was like he has kind of a strange looking glide So if you guys have no step or let me know But like the beginning And when he was finding the hanging I was like, okay, the honey looks pretty cool obviously and all that kind of stuff and then they kept bringing back other CGI things and like Even in the end when he was bashing Sanjay Dutt's head in it was on a CGI rim And I was like, well, why do we have a CGI rim? Yeah, I don't And I think it was I looked like it was post Yeah, I think they originally had something maybe it didn't work out Maybe same thing when he walked out of the warehouse and he was laying down the gun the gunpowder The final act of that was digitized gunpowder falling to the ground and I thought Did that you just I guess you just didn't get the lighting on that the right way for it to be That's my suspicion my suspicion was on the day They thought they got it with the lighting and then when they saw it in post they went, oh crap You can't even see it. So they had to add it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but again Minuscule yeah, I thought VJ did very good in the fight scenes. Those are some great fight scenes very violent Even though like I'm always hoping for more violence like more chopoffs more Which is what I was talking about like in the beginning like my favorite fight scene I think was the one in the cafe. I thought that was a great really good one I love the moment when he turns his buddy goes Coffee chocolate, right? You had to get a chocolate cup That's probably my favorite one and but like in the beginning it felt like they were like arm chopping off Stabs that were like really gruesome and I thought it was kind of less and less and less and obviously The reason I I know is because it's it takes time and it takes money to make stuff look good Yeah, like that that when it's not CGI'd And it also felt like it's interesting because to me the climactic battle sequence isn't the end The climactic battle sequence is that one in the warehouse with with Sanjay Dutt and the sister twin sister That whole thing was just I thought I thought I looked at the clock and thought we got 45 minutes up This isn't your climactic fight scene. Yeah, and I think Once again, you shouldn't be here if you haven't seen it the title card came up at an hour hour 20 I think it was the film. I thought our RR was late and that was 45 minutes in when our RR's title card came up I think an hour in you lead to me and said did I miss the title card? Late but the other thing that was great and he's told this he said this in the interview But you didn't need it and I love it You didn't need to have the the standard star entry He gives those to him at other times in the film But it didn't matter the moment his eyes are in the rear view mirror the audience exploded exactly, you know, you didn't need it It was great. Yeah, um and so The the dance number was off. Oh, man. I was actually really sad. We didn't get more of the sister Yeah, me too. I liked her a lot. I think it was Trisha that I was it Trisha was playing And no the one that was hit the sister that oh you think is Trisha the wife. Yeah, I'm not sure I don't know them very well Okay, um, she did a great job. Yeah, she's wife did a really good job. Very good Um their moment together in the what was the wife's name? Um, I don't remember the character's name. Okay Yeah, okay, that's right Trisha's the wife then That moment they had together in the bedroom when the daughter's asleep and he's he's sobbing because he can't believe She doesn't trust him. Yeah, that moment for me was we're having a thespianatic moment right here guys It was a really good job. Yeah, but yeah, the the whole The song we had heard I think ready or something and not not remember man. They dude. It was massive visuals the amount of people It was massive. Oh And it was well VJ dancing. She was was great. Everybody was really really good and there was so many I didn't I didn't Expect a lot of stuff something if I just don't understand because like that was way their criminal justice system works is strange to me the fact that they had to like detain him in the beginning and right and like Innocent I was like yeah one did they get the CTT footage that they were trying to dismantle At the cafe because if not you have CTT footage of The whole thing so why is he being detained for this long when there's witnesses that can corroborate his story It's saying he was doing it in self-defense And also how anybody can believe that he is not to this guy when he is literally the most bad Fighter ever and he's not hiding it. No, he goes out to the field and he doesn't even pretend he shoots poorly He's like yep. I do it. I Feel like the wife definitely knows like I mean she went and tried to like find out, but I'm like Wow, my husband's a really good warrior. That's a Take on ten guys at once with no problem. I think this is more than just animal love Also, was that the exact same well, that's what the guy did not understand And I know they brought it back in the end which was cool and fun But like did he tame that hyena that was literally just mangling people in the beginning and that's what I appreciated I thought when he's introducing the hyena to his kids after the whole thing I thought this is the way it should be here because in America that thing would have been put down that day I would have been shot Like a billion times it acted rabid. That was not normal hyena behavior. No, they're pack animals. That was very strange Anyways, I'll talk about the end though because obviously this is a part of the and if they're We're very dumb. So if there's other references, I didn't actually pick up on the other reference outside of like some stuff We had like I Feel like that Wasn't Surya in that warehouse the DOS warehouse or am I just on crack? Like at the end of Vikram, right? Surya comes in as Rolex, right? Wasn't he in a big warehouse? Yes, but what I thought I thought I thought I thought it was. Yes I don't know. I thought I had that reference, but yeah, also You've seen this Come all son. Yeah, it's his voice. Yeah comes in at the end and the minute he talked everybody's whoop-whoop-whoop And so that's that's an exciting so winner because they've yet to Blend the universes completely right because like the the act I don't believe the actor from kithy was in Vikram There was nobody until the very full blend Once again, if there was like supporting actors were very dumb These are these are like the way Avengers started you start off with the individual story movies And then which is you know Iron Man Captain America Thor and then you get Avengers. I was actually I Was wondering because I saw in at least in the the ready song the big number I saw a bunch of ladies and sorry's. I was like, oh these are the agent Tina's right Exactly, I didn't know the other thing I loved about the music was the amount of times that Ani Blunt especially at the end where he blended stuff from Vikram into the score great was great to do that blend Yes, he's a freakin bad at Vikram. Yeah, it was fantastic They did it better they did that was if I'm not mistaken He added in the in the shop at the beginning of the film a little bit of those the sex song from Vikram But we like so it's sense if it wasn't it was a tip of the cat with a cap of the new creation But the score was and the other thing he does with the score with the background music He takes some of the main Leo themes from badass and the other melodic theme And then he uses them as some of the really dramatic underscore with just strings and orchestra and all of the Coral arrangements with all of the voices singing in the background The score is fantastic. Yeah Like second. Oh, if you've obviously seen it now Overall it was a very good movie really enjoyed it had a lot of fun looking forward to the the other Additions to the universe other just low cash films in general. I like his style of filming He I feel like maybe he doesn't know what to do with all the money They're giving him in terms of like he used to do it on probably a much smaller budget like Kythe I'm sure he laughs at what he was able to do with the budget he had on Kythe compared to I'm sure what the budget they gave him for for Leo I don't know what it is, but I'm assuming it was like 200% smaller in the interview. He talked about the difference between like six crore versus a hundred and fifty crore, you know And so I like his style. I'm hoping he I mean he's gonna end at 10 films, right? Yeah, right I Overall, I say I really enjoyed this film. I would watch it again. Yeah, I really enjoyed VJs for whenever enjoyed everybody's performance I enjoyed the music. It's a lot of fun So anything else? That's it. All right. Well, let us know since you've seen it now. What did you think of Leo? Did you like it? Didn't you like it? Why? Why are you dumb? Why are we dumb? Why are we dumb? What are we? Yeah, let all the person I was talking about was His guard the crowd erupted and they were laughing. I'm assuming he's like I feel like he's like a comedian And they were I felt like they were referencing a movie. He was in right? Yeah Like it felt like they were Directly saying he did this thing and like he did like he did this in a movie Right, and everybody knew it and they knew what they were referencing So I wanted to know I want to know. Yeah, I want to know the joke And then a couple other times couple other people came up and people really cheered And we don't know them very well like the I think we saw his glimpse of His older brother was it Leo's older brother that he killed in the end No, that that was his uncle uncle. Yes, sorry He's a he's a big actor. I think we saw his glimpse But when he came on a lot of that same kind of thing But anyways, if there's other stuff that we'd messed, please let us know what it is obviously no spoilers Please direct spoilers if we're gonna put it please put a spoiler alert so people don't see Stuff so they can enjoy it for the first time during the movie and let us know what you saw the movie down below
