You have shuffled around all the pieces of information like a puzzle to set just the right expectations. Leo, starring Vijay, is a test of faith for Lokesh and his audiences. You wonder if the remaining runtime could sustain the expectations from the anticipated flashback as well as the character arcs of the Das family. Lokesh’s Leo, to much disappointment,derails here, becoming his weakest film to date. It loses out on the whole “Who is Leo Das and why did he turn against his own people?” question, the pillar on which the entire film rests.
