Leo - A History of Violence on Steroids? #101

Queen is Dead - A Film, TV and Culture Podcast

In this new episode, Amartya and Sanjeet discuss the new Lokesh Kanagaraj film "Leo", starring Thalapathy Vijay, among other stars. We discuss what we liked/disliked in the film, championing the film for its decision to move away from the generic star vehicles that have been popular recently in Tamil and Telugu cinema.

Kanagaraj's 5 film career so far has been driven by his unique directorial sensibility, but does the aesthetic of his universe still work for this film? Listen to the full episode to hear about our initial thoughts, expectations, and theories for the future of the LCU.

**Bonus- At the end, Amartya also shares his quick thoughts on Srijit Mukherjee's (surprise! surprise!) new film, 'Dawshom Awbotaar'.
