This is one film that needs patience in the beginning to like\love the film, every minute detail there though feels dragged has a reason for it, the characters around toby are very well characterised and portrayed brilliantly by the artists, right from the young girl as Toby's daughter then Chaitra as his daughter, then Toby's girl friend Samyukta looked cute and well played the role, the villain had very good scope to perform and he did ruthlessly, Toby's friend acted subtly well and the main protagonist toby lived his character, we connect for his character and root for him, 1st hour of the film should have added some fun moments and cut crisply, the film is really good, a worth watch.

The makers' presentation falls slightly short of being impressive; however, the exceptional acting elevates the movie. The music and background score, unfortunately, lack the impact they intend to deliver. While the slow-paced clips and action sequences could have been shortened, focusing on increasing the overall pace of the movie might have resulted in a better output, especially considering the significant drop in quality during the second half. The film feels like a reminiscent of the lead's previous movie "GGVV." Although the message, dialogues, and content are well-executed, their delivery echoes too closely to the last film. The star-studded cast and well-rounded characters receive proper development and closure, which is commendable. Overall, the movie is worth a single watch, leaving the choice between theaters and OTT viewing up to the viewer's discretion.

Toby - Make Way For The Maari The hard work, dedication, sweat and blood, all comes to a justification. I cannot say the movie is simple, I cannot say it's slow, I cannot say it's raw and I cannot saw it's emotional because this will take you to a tour on all the above. "Toby" a must watch movie which every individual and every age group can watch and should watch. Disclaimer: Do not miss even a second. Forget everything and everyone for a couple of hours and keep your eyes open for the arrival of "Maari" A big kudos to Raj B Shetty and Team. "Maari Maari Maarige Dhaari". #toby #rajbshetty.

"Toby" boasts an ensemble cast that delivers performances so raw and captivating that words alone cannot do them justice.

Achar's performance not only enriches the story but also enhances the overall emotional impact of the film, making her character an essential and memorable part of the cinematic experience.

His genuine portrayal enhances the overall authenticity and emotional resonance of the story, making his character an integral part of the film's success. Samyukta Hornad's performance in "Toby" indeed adds a unique and captivating dimension to the story, drawing the audience into her character's world with her magnetic presence. It's worth noting that her portrayal goes beyond physical attractiveness; it's about her ability to convey depth, complexity, and charisma that make her character stand out. Her performance is undoubtedly captivating and contributes significantly to the film's appeal. Deepak Shetty's portrayal of a character undergoing a transformation due to wealth and greed adds a thought-provoking dimension to the storyline.

I would had given an 8 to this movie if it was not for the climax in the movie. I should say that the Mangalore Gang has a good sense in making quality Kannada movies. They have the ability to know how to balance the commercial aspects of the movie, and also keep the movie artistic also. This movie is like 'Gowli' movie which released a few months ago, but more commercial aspects in this movie. Raj B Shetty seems to have found the jest of making movies apt for him. You can see a little of Garuda Gamana Vrishaba Vahana in this movie. Raj kills the movie, while Samyukta has her part as the opposite. Other actors make you immersed in the movie. Wish the Shetty Gang, also known as Karnataka's Malabar for making Mallu style movies here.

Probably the best film of the year. What the film WAS NOT for me - not slow, not boring, not too long or short, not like Kantara, not like GGVV, not underworld-themed, not predictable, not copied, not cheap, not violent, not disrespectful to any community, caste, profession or region. What I loved - Acting by ALL actors, direction, BGM, characterisation, perfect casting .. What hurts and touches - Toby's helplessness and innocence, Jenny's helplessness and dignity, Savithri's dignity and humanity, father's compassion and love, that the crushing of sugarcane is the same as the crushing of Toby's and his families' lives, how Toby had to die, how Jenny died, how poverty multiplies troubles, why the gun functioned in the end, the thought that Jenny and her husband could have run away to another town, the thought that some people might be exploited like this in real life, and what will happen to Jenny's daughter ..

TOBY is a great family movie with all elements sewn together in it. From an infant to a child to a teen to a youth to a mid aged to a senior citizen all characters of different age are portrayed in here to bring out this beautiful emotional story. To understand this movie one has to leave behind GGVV and Kantara and then watch it and not compare TOBY to them. Towards the end of the movie each one of us in the theatre became Toby that is dumb ( we were speechless ), such is the impact of the climax which conveys a father's emotions, agony and his revenge on the loss of the only person he lived his life with that is his daughter Jenny. The artists Raj B. Shetty, Chaitra J. Achar, Raj Deepak Shetty and Samyukta Hornad have portrayed their characters in such realistic and natural way that we feel them and that those characters could be any one of us in our day to day life. Kudos team Toby !

Overall story and acting is good. It's definitely one time watchable. But climax was not that great and also fighting scenes are unwantedly picturized in slow motion which was very irritating. Songs where good but not great. Regardless i felt it blended well with the story line. Acting from chaitra was good as well. Probably couple of jokes here and there would have been better as well. Climax was unwantedly dragged lengthier. If the movie was shortened by 15 mins, it would have been much better. Cinematography is beautiful. But overall I feel it would have been much better if scenes where shot in normal phase.

Movie is one time watchable. Neither extraordinary nor bad. Raj B Shetty's performance is very good in the movie. The story line is taken along in similar lines as Garuda Gamana Vrishaba Vahana (GGVV). But it is not as gripping as GGVV. The story becomes kind of predictable. GGVV is great. Nothing can match that. One suggestion to Raj B Shetty is that, please move on from same story line. Try something a bit different now. We have seen underworld related stories from our coastal side in Uliravaru Kandanthe, GGVV and now this. When we see these movies, we start to feel like is underworld that bad there? It feels like we can't survive. I know it is not as bad as it is shown in movies. We need to see different side of our coastal Karnataka.
