Rajinikanth’s Jailer and Vijay’s Leo were two of the biggest Kollywood films of last year. There was a massive anticipation among fans of both Rajinikanth and Vijay to see which of the two will be a bigger blockbuster. In this battle of two of the biggest Kollywood stars, Rajinikanth emerged victorious.
Jailer, was released in theaters globally on August 10. Nelson Dileepkumar directed this project which is centered around the character called Tiger Muthuvel Pandian who is a retired Jailer. Ramya Krishnan, Tamannaah Bhatia, Vinayakan, Mirnaa Menon, Vasanth Ravi, Sunil and Yogi Babu were also featured in key roles in the film.
Vijay’s Leo was released on 18th October and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. This film was a part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe. It starred Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja among others.
Both movies did not release at the same time and there was a 2-month gap between them. But once Jailer put such massive numbers at the box office, everyone was keen to see if Leo could cross this. Despite mixed word of mouth, Leo came very close to Jailer.
The Rajinikanth starrer collected Rs 625Cr gross worldwide while Leo ended closer to 600Cr gross. The main reason for Jailer’s victory over Leo was the Telugu numbers where the Rajini film surpassed Leo by double margin. At the Box office, Jailr emerged as the winner. And now at the film’s Television premiere, Leo has emerged as the winner.
Leo’s TRP is 16.3 with 13.1M impressions while Jailer’s TRP is 15.59 with 12.5 Impressions. Both of theses are superb ratings but Leo edged out Jailer by a small margin.
