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.

Climax and the last song killed 2 stars for me personally. If he wears the taboo in his nose, the song should had been shot in the local deity rhythm or language. But it's lyrics are of a father and belonged to a church.

It's a movie, but audience would have loved the local deity hymn and praises instead of any other prayers.

Acting and action are shot in tandem. Sequences and missing pieces are filled perfectly fine. Music could have been better. Screenplay and cinematography makes you feel that you are in proper Kerala.

Small and short shots when you initially realise that shouldn't be there are justified after intermission.

Overall, worth watching for acting but climax song makes u feel uncomfortable.

When you try to put so many things in a small container and it's filled up to brim and still you have one more thing left to put into it -of which a hype was created about that last thing , it looks misplaced and not fitting. Yes this is what "Toby " is . The makers have taken a huge effort in making there is no doubt in this . Excellent performances by all the actors and actresses. Great BGM and songs that merge so well with the visuals . Stunning Cinematography,locations , dialogues without which the film would have become another ordinary revenge drama. Yes, It is a good one time watch movie. What I noticed in audience is that they could not connect with the movie. It could have been better! Is what I felt walking silently with lowered head out of the theatre!

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.
