The dubbed Hindi version of Tamil film LEO did pretty well as it collected 10 crore nett over its four day weekend with healthy collections over the weekend. The film did not play in the four biggest national chains as the makers were not prepared to go to the eight week window which is the case with all original Hindi films.

Its obvious the decision was correct as the film may have done 15 crore nett with the bigger multiplexes but its not a break out film in the Hindi circuits. The final business would not even come close to compensate on the loss revenue in digital which the longer window would have bought.

The numbers are mainly good for two reasons as one, the trailer pretty much seems like a regular South film and on top the collections are better than GANAPATH. The VIKRAM factor probably aided the collections of the film as that film found takers post release. It is a different story down South as its on record breaking spree with collections in the range of 155-160 crore nett in South India. The Hindi circuits are 10 crore in Hindi and 3 crore nett in regional languages which means the film has collected somewhere in the 170 crore nett range over its four day weekend. 

The three day weekend is the biggest for a South Indian film this year and the fourth biggest if you bring Hindi films into the equation with ADIPURUSH (bilingual) JAWAN, PATHAAN and GADAR 2 being bigger. The film beat the numbers of the Rajinikanth starrer JAILER which collected around 138 crore nett in ist first four days as compared to 170 crore nett apprx here for LEO. This is probably the comparison as its apples for apples.  

The film set records in Tamil Nadu and Kerala with highest ever collections in these two circuits be it for day one or opening weekend.

The collections of LEO (hindi) are as follows

Thursday - 2,75,00,000 apprx

Friday - 1,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 3,00,00,000 apprx
