Positive:
1. Cafe fight (I would say equal to John Wick or Nobody)
2. Making, camera work and Richness
3. BGM
Negative:
1. Weak writing in the 2nd half kills the movie.
2. It needs at least 15-20 mins cut in 2nd…
The music for the film was done by none other than Aniruddh. On the release morning, the famous music composer was seen arriving at a theatre to a grand welcome to witness on ground response to the film.
Praising the music of the film, a netizen wrote, "@anirudhofficial what are you man ??? Seriously... The BGM and the music is extraordinary... @Dir_Lokesh Your film making style will be referred as a case study in future for sure... LEO is already a blockbuster the moment it announced and we are now witnessing it."
Helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, 'Leo' also features Sanjay Dutt, Trisha Krishnan and Arjun Sarja. 'Leo' marks a reunion between Vijay and Kanagaraj after the 2021 blockbuster 'Master'.
Recently, superstar Rajinikanth also talked about Thalapathi Vijay and Sanjay Dutt's film 'Leo' and said, "I pray to God, that movie should become a huge hit."
In order to make the release a grand affair, Seven Screen Studios Production had filed a petition before the Madras High Court requesting to allow the film to be screened as early as 4 am across cinema halls in Tamil Nadu on the day of its release. However, the court refrained from from passing orders regarding the request for 4 am shows.
