Leo Tamil Nadu Box Office Day 1 Prediction: Vijay’s Film BEATS Jailer To Become Highest Tamil Opener 2023

Thalapathy Vijay and Trisha Krishnan starrer Leo has been one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Leo is an action thriller and happens to be the recent addition to the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). Also starring Sanjay Dutt as the lead antagonist, Leo has released amid much fanfare. However, it has opened to mixed reviews from the audience.

While Vijay's swag and performance and Lokesh's direction have won millions of hearts, Leo has turned out to be a disappointment in terms of CGI, storyline and even the climax. The social media is abuzz with posts criticising the movie for an average first half and lagging second half. In fact, Leo has even been termed as disaster by the netizens.

And while Leo has managed to have a thunderous start in terms of advance booking for day 1, the box office collection of the movie is also the talk of the town. According to a report published in Sacnilk, Leo will be having an impressive start in Tamil Nadu. Reportedly, Leo will be raking in Rs 32 crores on the first day in Tamil Nadu.

If the reports turned out to be true, it will manage to beat the opening day collection of Rajinikanth's Jailer by a huge margin. For the uninitiated, Jailer had raked in Rs 23.4 crores on the first day of release in Tamil Nadu. With a strong start at the box office, it will be interesting to see how Leo will be performing at the box office in the coming days.

Meanwhile, as everyone was eagerly waiting for Leo, there has been a major speculation about whether Leo is a part of LCU (Lokesh Kanagaraj Universe). The rumours came to light after DMK Youth Wing Secretary Udhay Stalin shared the review of the movie on micro-blogging site Twitter (now X) and used the hashtag #LCU. The tweet went viral with fans curious to know if Leo is a standalone film or a part of LCU.

Well, the wait is over and big revelation has been made. Leo is a part of LCU (Lokesh Kanagaraj Universe) and it has been announced in the movie. To note, the first movie of LCU happened to be Kaithi which was released in 2019 which was followed by Kamal Haasan starrer Vikram. And now Leo is the third entry in LCU.
