      #Amazing#Toby#RajBshetty

      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.

      Good Script, Good Acting, Good Direction

      I would had given an 8 to this movie if it was not for the climax in the movie. I should say that the Mangalore Gang has a good sense in making quality Kannada movies. They have the ability to know how to balance the commercial aspects of the movie, and also keep the movie artistic also.

      This movie is like 'Gowli' movie which released a few months ago, but more commercial aspects in this movie. Raj B Shetty seems to have found the jest of making movies apt for him. You can see a little of Garuda Gamana Vrishaba Vahana in this movie. Raj kills the movie, while Samyukta has her part as the opposite. Other actors make you immersed in the movie. Wish the Shetty Gang, also known as Karnataka's Malabar for making Mallu style movies here.

      Good performance. But predictable story line.

      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.

      Climax and the last song killed 2 stars

      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.

      New wave in kannada cinema

      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.
