Leader Movie Review: Leader, starring Legend Saravanan, has hit theatres on April 3 and is getting mixed reactions from the audience. Directed by Durai Senthilkumar, the film marks Saravanan’s big comeback after his debut and presents him in a full-on action role. 

Viewers are praising the action scenes, especially in the second half and climax, which have turned out to be the major highlights of the film. However, many feel that the first half is slow and takes time to build the story. Overall, the Leader movie is being seen as a mass entertainer that works better in parts especially for fans of action films. 

Leader Movie Review

Leader is seen as a film that mixes action, emotions, and some social themes. Because f the positive response from film personalities and the teaser and trailer, there are good expectations that it may perform well at the box office. 

The movie also has a social and political angle with ideas about public wlefare and the responsibilities of a leader included in the story. So its is not just an action film but also tries to deliver a meaningful message.

Leader Movie Twitter Review

One user commented, “LEADER First Half Review  – A ‘man with a violent past’ template that becomes engaging after the initial 30 minutes and holds well till the interval.. – An improved performance from Legend #Saravanan.. – Grand production values, with Andrea Jeremiah playing a key role.. – A few Cliches and inconsistencies here and there… The interval block setup was.. – Decent so far… The second half is the key.. Let’s see how it goes.. – Onto the Second Half now..

Second user said, “#leaderfromapril3rd 1st half -starts of cringe but after 20 mins Never thought it will be good  interval block staging, writing  @Dir_dsk bro if it maintains same like in 2nd half it will be blockbuster… Let c #Leader.” 

Third user wrote, “#Leader : Superb making. Bad performance by the lead. Decent performances by the supporting cast. Okayish action sequences. Decent background score. Technically very strong. Reminds some of the previous star films at many places. Though the screenplay is very tight for most part, emotionally the film is very distant. Some twists work really well, but after a point it becomes overstuffed and some twists seem very forced and unnecessary making things lil tiring. Nonetheless I would say its a win for Durai SenthilKumar as a director. He is promising for sure. Overall this film is an above average watch imo which works here and there but still could have been better !”
