Vijay's action thriller "Leo" has stormed the Indian box office, crossing the coveted ₹200 crore mark in domestic collections.
The film, which faced a slight decline in earnings on Dussehra, amassed ₹31.5 crore nett for all languages on Tuesday, as per early estimates shared by Sacnilk.com.
The total domestic collection for "Leo" now stands impressively at ₹248.6 crore.
Breaking down the occupancy rates, the film saw a robust 65.79 percent Tamil occupancy on Tuesday, while Telugu and Hindi occupancies stood at 48.40 percent and 20.13 percent, respectively.
"Leo" had a strong opening last Thursday, raking in ₹64.8 crore, with Tamil shows contributing ₹49 crore to the initial earnings.
Despite mixed reviews and negative word of mouth, the film managed to collect ₹35.25 crore on its second day.
There was a slight growth in earnings on Sunday, reaching ₹41.55 crore, but it slowed down again on Monday.
Impressively, the film achieved a significant milestone by crossing ₹400 crore in worldwide gross within just five days of its release.
Notably, "Leo" outperformed Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, at the global box office on its fourth day.
Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, "Leo" marks Sanjay Dutt's Tamil debut and features a stellar cast including Trisha Krishnan, Arjun, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mysskin, Madonna Sebastian, George Maryan, Mansoor Ali Khan, Priya Anand, and Mathew Thomas.
The movie signifies a remarkable reunion between Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj after their 2021 blockbuster "Master."
Additionally, it brings Vijay and Trisha together again, rekindling the magic of their previous Tamil hits like "Ghilli," "Kuruvi," and "Thirupaachi."
With its impressive box office run and star-studded ensemble, "Leo" continues to captivate audiences, solidifying its place as a blockbuster hit in the Indian film industry.
