7/10
This is what 'Genius Filmmaking' is all about !

Firstly let me clear everyone that, 'TOBY' is not a movie for Normal Audiences who likes fast paced action masala kind of films. It's totally made for those people who love to watch Slow burn Conceptual movie with some native mythological aspects added to it (like Kantara).

The writing of Raj B. Shetty was quite brilliant and his Acting performance is just Mind Blowing for sure. The way he portray the emotions of Toby according to his origin was quite brilliant for sure. The daughter of Toby (Jenny) as well as his Friend (Damodar I guess) also acted decently for sure. The Cinematography is the main essence of this movie, the way they showcased coastal atmosphere with stunning visuals were quite appealing. The background score was top notch according to the situations and music was also nice for sure.

The debatable part of this movie's technicality is It's pace. Yeah! The screenplay is really slow paced and will test patience of average cinema lovers. The first half of the movie is slow paced with nice introduction of the background of the main character but after the brilliant introduction was properly done ; it became totally flat with it's storyline, which is little bit of concern in this entire movie. As you are getting ready for a brutal response from the leading character but he is doing it with ease that too in slow paced motion Actions. But in the climax part, it was just visually excellent storytelling for sure with a English song in the background in the name of Lord Jesus. But yeah you can predict it's climax 10min before that's why it's lack to surprise you at the End. The way they finished it's storyline is justified I'll say and it's assure you there will be no Toby part 2 in the future which is Okey for me.

Overall a Good movie which contain lots of brutality in it that's why definitely not made for Family audiences. Although it doesn't have any direct vulgarity but some references were there. In my opinion it at least deserve one time watch & I will go with 7 out of 10 Stars for it as I personally liked the way director represented the emotional story and the way Raj B. Shetty nailed his performance.
