Leo box office collection Day 2: Vijay-starrer witnesses 44% drop on second day, manages to cross Rs 100 crore nett in India

This drop in collections could be attributed to the lukewarm reaction of the audience. Although, it is yet to be seen if the film can pick up its pace in the upcoming weekend. Leo went through its share of troubles before release. From objections on its poster to the cancellation of the audio launch event, Leo has been surrounded by controversy. Despite the cancellation of early morning shows in Tamil Nadu, the film managed to have a big opening day and while it seemed like the film had beaten Rajinikanth’s Jailer on its first day, it remains to be seen if Leo can match Jailer’s momentum. The Rajinikanth film made Rs 604.25 crore worldwide gross through its lifetime and became the highest Tamil grosser of the year.

Until now, it seemed like Leo was a part of Lokesh Kangaraj’s LCU, which includes Vikram and Kaithi, and now that the film is out, the audience has discovered what holds these films together. SPOILER ALERT. It is now certain that Leo is indeed a part of the LCU. It is clearly established in the film that the events of Leo take place after the events of Kaithi and Vikram.

Alongside Vijay, Leo also stars Sanjay Dutt and Trisha Krishnan.
