Despite mixed critical reviews, Vijay and director Lokesh Kanagaraj's action-packed thriller 'Leo' is creating waves at the global box office. The film's stellar performance is particularly evident in Kerala, where it has reportedly raked in an astounding Rs 40 crore within just five days.

According to the report, ‘Leo’ had a good Monday (October 23), as the film garnered over Rs 7.15 crores in Kerala, with a screen count of 2,500 on its fifth day.This strong box office performance gave 'Leo' an impressive 5-day total of ₹40 crores, surpassing the final gross collection and break-even mark set by the film 'Vikram.'

Anticipations surrounding 'Leo's' financial performance continue to rise, with predictions suggesting it may touch the 50 crore mark in Kerala by Day 8, an achievement that previously took Yash and Prashanth Neel’s action flick 'KGF 2' 11 days to accomplish. The film has already achieved its break-even point in Kerala and Telugu states, affirming its remarkable financial success.
Starring the charismatic Vijay in the lead role, 'Leo' hit theatres on October 19, sparking considerable buzz. While it garnered mixed reviews from both audiences and fans, with criticism directed towards weak character development and forced LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe) connections, the film's box office performance has remained undeniably strong.
Turning attention to the performance of Malayalam films at the Kerala Box Office (KBO), it's clear that Mammootty's crime drama 'Kannur Squad' stands out as a shining success. In contrast, other films like 'Rahel Makan Korah,' 'Somante Krithavu,' and several others have struggled to captivate audiences, failing to garner the same level of attention and interest.
