Film trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan in a post on X said, “Everywhere Joseph Vijay’s #Leo has started to CRASH. Morning shows are dull and showing poor occupancy that too on a Saturday. LokeshKanagaraj’s Film is facing difficulties to sustain at the Box Office. Bookings made before release of the film with LCU factor is fetching some amount.”
