Leo review
The Hindustan Times review of Leo reads, “By no means is Leo about peaceful reformation. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Leo is the assertion that reformation is a well-performed act that is right to be undone as needed. So, it is yet another edition of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s filmography about lawless violent men, who fancy themselves as saviours of the world, fighting other lawless violent men we are conned into thinking of as distinctly more evil.”
Fans celebrated Leo in several places
A fan couple of Vijay exchanged garlands and rings in a theatre during the screening of Leo. Several videos and pictures have been doing the rounds on the internet in which Vijay’s fans danced and cheered. Many places even witnessed a sea of fans thronging cinema halls with full “band baaja”. Fans also celebrated the release of Leo outside the Sree Padmanabha Theatre in Thiruvananthapuram.
