Toby

Newly appointed SI finds Jenny creating ruckus infront of the police station, demanding to find her missing father. As he takes up the case, the subsequent interrogation of four individuals reveal more about Jenny's father Toby, who has an entire shelf filled with his records at the police station. Father Iglesias finds him at a remand home and takes him in, by giving him the name Toby which is short for Tobias. But Toby isn't the peaceful god instead the replica of Satan. What is the story of Toby and Jenny? Why is he missing and what wrath will be bring upon his return forms rest of the story.

Screenplay written by Raj B Shetty based on the short story by T. K. Dayanand has it's strengths lie in the characters. In short, it's a revenge story but that is only the last act. The story building till the last act is what driven by the characters where not just Toby but the other four characters play a prominent role in shaping up the film for what it is. The narrative pace is slow but definitely effective and the performances stand out. There are several scenes that stood out and my personal favorites were the fight scene where it intercuts to his imagination of the wedding and that brief yet impactful shot of the coffee being served on a cup as well as steel glass. It does get predictable towards the third act but it is still worth watching.

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.

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.

Leave it to Sandalwood (when was the last time somebody said that?) to seamlessly write tradition into generic plots, this one a revenge drama and doesn't have as much tradition as GGVV did.

Raj Shetty - 1 of the 2 reasons why I watched this film (2 - Kannada is a fun language) and I wasn't disappointed. If his previous content doesn't already show, this man can really act! Props to Chaithra Achar and the child actor as well.

Was the film mindblowing? No, very predictable and slow. I wish they'd made a better choice of edits in the trailer, it spoiled a few things. I really liked how the story was written/told, though. Credits - RBS, boy can he write!! Some of the shots and the frames were brilliant!
