    Vijay's 'Leo' eyeing Rs. 300cr in India: Film's record-breaking feats

    What's the story

    Vijay's latest action-packed thriller, Leo, saw a huge surge in collections on Saturday (day 10) after a brief dip in earnings on Thursday and Friday.

    The film—released in theaters on October 19—collected Rs. 15cr on its second Saturday, bringing its domestic revenue to Rs. 286.9cr.

    The Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial has already surpassed the Rs. 500cr mark worldwide, reportedly becoming the fastest Tamil film to cross this milestone.

    Here, we gather some of the record-breaking achievements of Leo.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Leo marked the reunion of Vijay and director Kanagaraj after their previous hit, Master.

    The movie is part of Kanagaraj's cinematic universe—Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU)—which also includes films like Karthi's Kaithi and Kamal Haasan's Vikram.

    Notably, Leo seeks to surpass the collections of Rajinikanth's blockbuster Jailer—which was released in August and collected Rs. 604cr worldwide.

    Although Leo is faring well at the box office, it lags behind the pace set by Jailer.

    This achievement marked the highest number of tickets ever sold for any film in South Indian film within an hour.
