However, the Tamil occupancy of the film is at 66.85 percent.
Film trade expert Manobala Vijayabalan cite negative word of mouth, the film’s shows have been reduced outside Tamil Nadu. He wrote on X, “#Leo screens REDUCED from tomorrow outside Tamil Nadu.

The action thriller has been released in multiple languages including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi.
