Mixed reviews for 'Leo' as first reactions pour in: 'Unnecessary hype, full-on entertainment'

As Vijay fans throng theatres to catch first-day-first-shows of Vijay's Leo, social media is filled with reactions on the eagerly anticipated actioner.

Early reviews on social media suggest the Lokesh Kanagaraj film is receiving mixed reactions.

While many fans hailed the film as a mass actioner and overall entertainer, some critics felt Leo did not live up to the expectations. 

A parody account of director Prashant Neel praised Lokesh and Vijay for taking entertainment to the the “next level”. He also hinted of a “surprise” in the movie.

The gangster drama also features Sanjay Dutt as the antagonist.
