Early estimates from Sacnilk say that Lokesh Kanagaraj’s action movie Leo, which stars Vijay in the lead role, has now made ₹284 crore at the domestic box office. Slowly but surely, Leo is getting closer to the desired ₹300 crore mark in India.
Leo’s Day 10 box office report
It was thought at first that Leo saw a 100% increase from its second Friday to its second Saturday. In India, it made ₹7 crore on Friday in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi, and ₹14 crore on Saturday. This brings its total domestic box office earnings to ₹284.90 crore so far. New movies usually come out on Friday, which makes it harder for leftover movies to do well on the second weekend. But Leo doesn’t seem to be slowing down; even on the second weekend, it’s still the movie that most people want to see.
In Tamil, 42.37% of people who saw Leo were able to speak it; in Telugu, 36.38%; and in Hindi, 12.80%. Kangana Ranaut’s Tejas, Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 12th Fail (with Vikrant Massey), and Nimrat Kaur, Radhika Madan, Bhagyashree, and Sumeet Vyas in Sajini Shinde Ka Viral Video are the three new Hindi movies that came out this Friday.
About Leo
Lokesh and Vijay get back together in Leo, which comes after their hit action movie Master in 2021. The previous movies in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe were Kaithi (2019), which starred Karthi, and Vikram (2022), which starred Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi, and Fahadh Faasil. It also has Trisha Krishnan as the lead actress and is the first movie in Tamil for Bollywood hero Sanjay Dutt.

People who saw Leo liked it, but the review in the Hindustan Times was not very positive. It said, “It also doesn’t help that Vijay’s acting in intense scenes makes you feel nothing! The real reasons Anthony and Harold Das are bad—the fact that they are drug lords who have killed hundreds of people isn’t enough; Leo Das is one of them—are funny. We just want to see Vijay punch a few guys; it doesn’t matter why. So, Parthiban, whose real name is Leo Das, is a stuntman who can’t really think about his feelings.
