Thalapathy Vijay’s much-anticipated film, ‘Leo,’ has made a spectacular debut in theaters, captivating audiences across India. The film’s opening day witnessed a record-breaking box office collection, generating an estimated ₹43 crore, as reported by Sacnilk.com.
‘Leo,’ directed by the renowned filmmaker Venkat Prabhu, has resonated strongly with fans, particularly in its native Tamil language, where it amassed a staggering ₹38.3 crore. The film also made significant inroads in Hindi and Telugu languages, collecting ₹1.7 crore and ₹3 crore respectively.
The film boasts a star-studded cast, featuring Prabhudheva, Prashanth, Mohan, Ajmal Ameer, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Sneha, Laila, Vaibhav, Yogi Babu, Premgi Amaren, Yugendran, VTV Ganesh, and Aravind Akash, alongside Thalapathy Vijay.
The trailer of ‘Leo’ showcased Vijay’s dynamic portrayal as a field agent and spy, who has successfully completed over 65 operations in his career. The trailer also gave a glimpse of Vijay’s double role, playing a father-son duo.
While Vijay’s performance has received widespread acclaim, ‘Leo’ has garnered mixed reviews from audiences. While many have been impressed by Vijay’s screen presence, some have found the film’s second half to be predictable and lacking in momentum.
Beyond the film’s success, Thalapathy Vijay has also been recognized for his significant contribution to the Indian film industry. He is ranked second on Fortune India Magazine’s list of top celebrity taxpayers, following closely behind Shah Rukh Khan. Vijay is reported to have paid an advance tax of ₹80 crore, demonstrating his substantial financial success.
‘Leo’ is poised to become a major commercial success, with its opening day collection setting a new benchmark for Vijay’s career. However, the film’s critical reception remains mixed, with audiences divided in their opinions. Nonetheless, Thalapathy Vijay’s star power and the film’s high production values have made ‘Leo’ a major talking point in the Indian entertainment industry.
