About Leo

Leo has reunited director Lokesh with actor Vijay after the 2021 hit action film Master. It is the third instalment in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe after Karthi-starrer Kaithi (2019) and Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi, and Fahadh Faasil-starrer Vikram (2022). Starring Trisha Krishnan as the leading lady, Leo is the Kollywood debut of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt.

While Leo has got tremendous footfall at the theatres, the Hindustan Times review of the film wasn’t very flattering. It stated, “It also doesn’t help that Vijay’s performance in emotional scenes evokes absolutely nothing! The reasons for Anthony and Harold Das’ real villainy—that they are drug lords killing hundreds isn’t enough, because Leo Das is one of them—are laughable. But it doesn’t matter why, we just want to see Vijay punch down a few men. So, Parthiban alias Leo Das is a stunt machine, with little capacity for emotional introspection.”
