Thalapathy Vijay
’s latest film
Leo
: Bloody Sweet stormed the box office on day 1 as it broke the record for the highest day 1 opening box office collection for an Indian film grossing Rs 148 crore across the globe. But since then the film has seen a fall and a slight rise in the next three days.
Leo scored Rs 64.8 crore in India across languages on its opening day.
Post that the film witnessed a major drop of 45% and collected Rs 35.25 crore on day 2. On day 3 it saw a small jump of 12% and collected Rs 39.8 crore, and on its first Sunday the film was expected to do much better than its last two days but remained particularly flat and minted just Rs 41.55 crore, taking the grand total of the film to Rs 181.4 crore nett, as per Sacnilk.
The film has turned out to be a major success for Tamil cinema as it was able to beat 4 day collection of last big Tamil superhit film
Jailer
which starred Rajinikant in the lead. Jailer had managed to collect Rs 150.60 crore nett in 4 days of its release. But Leo still stands way behind Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan which had collected Rs 286.06 crore nett in its 4 days of release across four languages with Hindi leading from the front.
On one hand, there are fans who loved Thalapathy Vijay’s performance in the film, they loved his action, his dance and his emotional depth, on the other hand some also found the film sluggish in the second half and pointed out that the film lacked proper conflict.
Leo is directed by
Lokesh Kanagaraj
and is part of his cinematic universe which has characters like
Vikram
and Rolex (Vikram) and Dilli (Kaithi) in it. Lokesh is planning to take the franchise ahead in the next two years.
