Toby

The makers' presentation falls slightly short of being impressive; however, the exceptional acting elevates the movie. The music and background score, unfortunately, lack the impact they intend to deliver. While the slow-paced clips and action sequences could have been shortened, focusing on increasing the overall pace of the movie might have resulted in a better output, especially considering the significant drop in quality during the second half. The film feels like a reminiscent of the lead's previous movie "GGVV." Although the message, dialogues, and content are well-executed, their delivery echoes too closely to the last film. The star-studded cast and well-rounded characters receive proper development and closure, which is commendable. Overall, the movie is worth a single watch, leaving the choice between theaters and OTT viewing up to the viewer's discretion.

Super loved the movie!!!. I was drawn deep into Toby's world right from the word go.. My heart and soul was all feeling for Toby, amazing performance from Raj B Shetty. You are an very talented actor.. loved all of your movies right from Ondu Motteya Kathe.. to Toby.. Raj's eyes speak a lot, they are so intense and talk loudly, instills a sense of fear, happiness, sadness.. OMG!!! He's just amazing!! And when he giggles especially at night when he thinks about the lady he met at the police station..that's simply amazing, it's so cute, adorable.. you can actually feel him. Action scenes were too good. It's all the way Raj!!!Raj!!!Raj!!! I super love you, you are so talented!!! Chaitra and Samyukta, you guys are simply amazing.. you guys add a lot of character and depth along with Raj in Toby's story.. hats off to you guys for your amazing talent.

Movie is one time watchable. Neither extraordinary nor bad.

Raj B Shetty's performance is very good in the movie.

The story line is taken along in similar lines as Garuda Gamana Vrishaba Vahana (GGVV). But it is not as gripping as GGVV.

The story becomes kind of predictable.

GGVV is great. Nothing can match that. One suggestion to Raj B Shetty is that, please move on from same story line. Try something a bit different now.

We have seen underworld related stories from our coastal side in Uliravaru Kandanthe, GGVV and now this.

When we see these movies, we start to feel like is underworld that bad there? It feels like we can't survive.

I know it is not as bad as it is shown in movies.

We need to see different side of our coastal Karnataka.

Over couple of years kannada cinema has seen come exceptional movies which was ones fell behind other south industry

Movies like ggrv,kantara,lucia,dia etc has given us great experience in theaters now taking about raj b shetty's new movie toby in one line good movie that leaves you wanting for more raj b shetty has given amazing performance including the female casts of the flim, there are two songs and amazing bgm, music department has done a very good job, taking about the cinematography the wide shots blossoms the scenes the camera work is exceptional editing is also good.

Now taking about drawbacks the story has nothing new to give and screenplay which does a good job in bringing the characters to life has pacying issues and lives us unsatisfied at the end, in the end i would recommend it has one time watch but do watch it in theaters.

And you can watch it with family it has violence but no nudity or sexual scenes.

As any other movie, this movie starts with the introduction to the character Toby but it takes too much time. Toby written on the palm is shown atleast half a dozen time and it gets irritating rather than creating curiosity.

The police inspector character looks very pale. Every character speaks with a long pause that the people in the theatre started talking.

The 2nd half picks up little pace, but the climax is very much predictable, thanks to the trailer.

A person stabbed multiple times and declared almost dead can be seen fighting and killing dozens of goondas within few minutes, just like any masala high octane movie. Bizzare costume and actions cannot elevate the experience.

For example, when the main character is crying during climax, we cannot sympathize with him.

Raj was liked for his story telling and much realistic approach. But here, though the premises looks authentic, it's just like another run-of-the-mill movie.

Music and cinematography are top notch. Acting is very good, especially Jenny (both kid and adult).

But, the content itself is so mediocre especially for the Shetty 'genre', felt so much disappointed. Hope Raj doesn't fall for the love of stardom.
