Vijay starrer 'Leo' was released in theatres on Oct 19, and the film secured the highest number for an Indian film in 2023 by grossing Rs 148 crore on day 1. But the film saw a major drop on day 2, and the film did only half of the day 1 collection on day 2. However, on the third day today (Oct 21, Saturday), 'Leo' has peaked well as Thalapathy Vijay shows his dominance all over India. As today (Oct 21) marks the first non-working day, 'Leo' has reportedly reserved a solid occupancy till the evening, and the occupancy for evening and night shows is expected to be higher.
So, 'Leo' is predicted to earn close to Rs 90 crore on day 3, and let's wait for some hours to have a clear idea about the film's box office collection at the end of day 3. The overall number of 'Leo' is expected to be over Rs 270 crore for sure, and the film is set to enter into the profit zone in a quick time. 'Leo' looks super powerful in Southern states, while the action drama is doing well in Hindi states as well. Despite the restriction of release from multiple chains in North India, the 'Leo' Hindi version has got a decent number.
Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Vijay plays a character of two different shades in the action-packed 'Leo', while the film also has Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Gautham Menon, Arjun Sarja, Priya Anand, Mysskin, Sandy, and Mansoor Ali Khan among others in important roles. Anirudh Ravichander scored the music, and his fierce background score elevated the action sequences as well.
