Review: Parthiban (Vijay) lives in a snow globe world, which consists of his wife Sathya (Trisha) and two children. A slight crack lets in some air into his perfect world and what follows is a cyclone that completely shatters the globe. Can Parthiban save his family and rebuild the picture-perfect snow globe?
Brothers Anthony Das (Sanjay Dutt) and Harold Das (Arjun Sarja) run a tobacco business as a front to their illegal drug business. Anthony’s son, Leo (Vijay) is one of the most powerful ground workers who ensures smooth running of drugs from one place to another.
A harrowing incident causes fire in the tobacco factory, thus killing Leo. Cut to 20 years later, the Das brothers find out about Parthiban and his uncanny resemblance to Leo. Did Leo fake his own death to become Parthiban or are they two different people who simply look alike, is what forms the crux of the story.

Despite having an ensemble of actors, Leo is a one-man show. Vijay is terrific in the film, as Parthiban, as well as Leo. He keeps the audience guessing if he is really Parthiban or a Leo who has turned Parthiban right up to the climax. The scenes are wonderfully carved to keep the audience glued to the screens till the last minute. The pre-climax scene takes the cake. Writing is a bit inconsistent, but Vijay’s charm and performance make it a believable outing.
