Given the unprecedented gatherings at Rohini theatre in Chennai during the 'Leo' trailer release and the rush for ticket bookings the previous evening, heightened security measures were taken for the first show. These measures were put in place to prevent any incidents caused by overcrowding, as Rohini theatre is often regarded as Thalapathy Vijay's stronghold.

#Leo - 3.25 out of 5, excellent first half followed by a watchable second half, which gets amplified again by the stupendous action-packed climax and the LCU flavour! It’s #ThalapathyVijay show all the way who anchors the film with his broad shoulders.

#LEO - If the Second Half Maintained the Same Rage as First Half then the film wouldve been the Best of #LokeshKanagaraj ..✌️

But The Film is gonna Do Huge in the Box Office for sure..🔥 There are some good Theatre moments in the Second Half which will Engage the Audience…

#Leo - Lengthy and Tiring! Too much violence and bloodshed with Average First half with Unwanted scenes in the second half. mainstream commercial template with cringe scenes which was unnecessary.

A Predictable commercial movie which was unexpected from @Dir_Lokesh
