Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Leo has released amidst mixed talk and reviews but there’s no stopping Thalapathy’s massive opening capacity and Lokesh’s strong brand. The film recorded terrific advance bookings of over 100Cr+ yesterday itself and today the movie started on a strong note with continuous houseful. Even the mixed talk is not able to stop the film’s solid opening. The brands of Lokesh Kangaraj, Vijay and the hype for LCU are bringing audiences in all territories.
Even in Telugu, the film is dominating Balakrishna’s Bhagavanth Kesari. Several centres including mass stations all shows are reporting housefuls and there is a huge demand for tickets. The film will open with big numbers of around 140Cr – 145 Cr and will definitely enter all-time top openings in Indian cinema after RRR, Baahubali2, and KGF2.
Anirudh’s background score and Lokesh’s mark were visible in action sequences were major plus for the movie. Vijay’s unique characterization which is a departure from his usual mass indomitable image was also a refreshing watch. The weekend and Dusshera are expected to draw audience in big numbers and the makers would be hoping to continue the same momentum.
