Thalapathy Vijay’s much awaited movie Leo was released in theatres on Thursday, October 19, and it opened to a huge response at box office. As many fans rushed to catch the early morning show of Leo social media is now filled with first reactions for the action thriller drama.
After the release of the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial, it has been getting mixed response from the viewers and critics. Film trade analyst and columnist, Manobala Vijayabalan said that despite having a promising premise and some commendable efforts from Vijay and the other cast, the end result has been disappointing.
“Lokesh Kanagaraj's Leo fails to live up to the expectations or unnecessary hype. Also, the film does not maintain a consistent level of engagement, leading to moments of boredom that detract from the overall viewing experience. The film is nowhere near Vikram or Kaithi, it is the weakest in Lokesh's career,” Vijayabalan tweeted.

Filmy Track mentioned the movie Leo as ‘lengthy and tiring’. “Too much violence and bloodshed with the Average First Half with Unwanted scenes in the second half. Mainstream commercial template with cringe scenes which was unnecessary. A Predictable commercial movie which was unexpected from Lokesh,” tweeted Filmy Track.
