South superstar Thalapathy Vijay's Leo has finally arrived. The film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, opened in theatres on Thursday. Leo is all about “action, action and more action”. Not our words. The director himself has said it. Not just that, Lokesh Kanagaraj also wants us all to “keep calm and face the devil”. In Leo, ‘Thalapathy' Vijay plays a “brave and bold police officer” who “walks in like a lion and fires at the serial killer.” There is more. The film marks Trisha Krishnan and Vijay's reunion after Kuruvi, which was released in 2008. We get to see Sanjay Dutt, once again, playing a ruthless villain. Do you need more? Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has declared that Vijay's latest offering is a “blockbuster”. The film critic said, “Lokesh Kanagaraj has delivered a masterpiece, an exhilarating blend of emotion and mass action. This year belongs to Thalapathy Vijay. Sanjay Dutt, #Arjun and the rest were great. Don't miss it.” To amp up the spirit, we have curated a list of some of Vijay's best films that you can watch on OTT. So are you ready? Read on.
