Critical reception[edit | edit source]
The Kannada movie Lee, which came out in 2017, got a proper bashing from critics. Deccan Chronicle said it’s so bad that "it will drive you mad" because it’s all over the place and has zero charm.[7] The New Indian Express also gave it a thumbs down, calling it "sans any glee"—basically, no fun, no joy, nothing to keep you hooked.[8] Deccan Herald didn’t hold back either, saying it’s "a mindless mish-mash"—like someone threw random stuff together and called it a film.[9] The Times of India was a bit kinder but still gave it low marks, saying the idea was okay but the making was all wrong.[10] Even Vijaya Karnataka joined the party, slamming it for a weak story that doesn’t hit you anywhere.[11]
