As we can see, the list comprises 3 Bollywood films and 2 Kollywood films. Unlike last year, 2023 is missing blockbusters from Telugu and Kannada film industries.
Speaking about the collection of Leo, the film showed a big jump over the second weekend and raked in 36-37 crores net between Friday and Sunday at the Indian box office. It has already crossed 300 crores net to become the 3rd Kollywood film to achieve the feat after 2.0 and Jailer. As of now, i.e., after 11 days, the Indian collection is standing at 319.60-320.10 crores. Globally, the numbers have gone well beyond 500 crores gross.
Meanwhile, after the blockbuster success of Leo, it is said that the makers are planning a success meet, and even Thalapathy Vijay might attend it along with other actors. Before the release, an audio launch event was planned in Chennai, but it was canceled due to some unknown reasons. As Vijay hardly promotes his films, fans look forward to such audio launch events, and sadly, even that got canceled this time. So, if the success meet happens, it’ll be a treat for fans to watch their beloved star pouring his heart out.
