Around 28 lakh views in just 30 minutes is something to talk
about. Leo trailer is breaking records on YouTube within minutes after being
posted. The craze is the ultimate for Lokesh Kanakaraj’s new movie which will be released this October. But how good was the trailer? Was it worth the wait for the fans
and audience?
LCU is the talk of the town? The Lokesh cinematic universe connects some of the
filmmaker's incredible movies in one world. They filled this world with Kaithi, and Vikram, and now will Leo enter this universe?
The trailer is hinting at it loud.
The trailer starts with Vijay’s voice narrating a serial killer story. This story
introduces specific characters and gradually jumps into the central plot. As
the narration stops, Sanjay Dutt makes his appearance, grabbing the audience.
The mixers of warm red tone with a white Kashmir background show the difference
between two prime locations where the story might revolve.
The trailer also reveals that there might be a major transition in the protagonist’s
character in the film. Something that is normal in Lokesh’s film. But this
trailer didn’t have the gripping effect that Kaithi delivered. Maybe the movie
could prove us wrong.
But the ultimate thing that captured my attention was how the transition
worked. This took the overall attention and pulled us into the trailer. Around
the time 1:30, the character transition happens, and the overall screen presence
from defense changes to offense. With the Badass track in the background, each
punch shifts into a blast; literally.
There was a scene hinting at a car chase. Hope it delivers a new version and a
good example for upcoming commercial movies; not like what we saw in the Master.
Last scene; young Vijay with a gun was a bit cliché but the entire trailer was
a perfect delivery for the fans to celebrate.
Maybe the director was silently giving us a hint of a double role or we just
felt one character’s transition. The subtle shift can be the entire movie or
can lead to the overall collapse of the great LCU.
Let’s wait and see if the hype is real and works out in the theaters on October
19th.
