The anticipated release of the action-packed movie 'Leo,' starring the powerhouse trio of Thalapathy Vijay, Trisha Krishna, and Sanjay Dutt, has set the box office on fire, gathering immense attention and an exceptional response from audiences worldwide. With massive pre-release sales, the movie has lived up to expectations, promising a good chase at the box office. Directed by the talented Lokesh Kanagaraj, 'Leo' is set to make its mark as one of this year's most successful movies, especially in the Southern states.

Early analyses suggest that 'Leo' will make a staggering Rs 145 crore globally, with a strong response from four southern states. The anticipated figures project a commendable performance, with expected collections of approximately Rs 32 crore in Tamil Nadu, Rs 17 crore in Andhra Pradesh/Telangana, Rs 14 crore in Karnataka, and Rs 12 crore in Kerala. Overall, the domestic box office is predicted to exceed Rs 80 crore on its debut day, with an additional projected sum of Rs 65 crore from the overseas market, completing a grand total of over Rs 145 crore globally.

According to box office tracker Sacnilk, the movie has already recorded advance sales worth Rs 46.36 crore nett for the first day, underlining the tremendous response it has received. Remarkably, 'Leo' is well on its way to overtaking the opening-day collections of 'Jailer,' hardening its position as a potential record-breaker for Tamil cinema in 2023.

Despite the impressive box office performance, 'Leo' is expected to fall short of SRK's 'Jawan' in terms of revenue generation. This difference can be attributed to the variation in ticket pricing, influencing the overall box office figures. The movie has received mixed reviews, with trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan expressing a less enthusiastic view. In his critique, he stated, “I tried to be a lion but ended up being a cat. Despite a promising premise and some commendable efforts from Joseph Vijay and the cast, the end result is a disappointment. Lokesh Kanagaraj's ‘Leo’ fails to live up to expectations or unnecessary hype. Also, the film does not maintain a consistent level of engagement, leading to moments of boredom that detract from the overall viewing experience. The film is nowhere near Vikram or Kaithi; it is the weakest in Lokesh's career. A Mediocre Effort"

Presented in 2D and IMAX formats, 'Leo' offers a multilingual experience in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, entertaining a diverse audience base. Vijay's previous release, 'Varisu,' concluded its box office run earlier this year with a commendable worldwide gross of Rs 297.55 crore. With its current status, 'Leo' appears to mark yet another milestone in Vijay's outstanding career.
