Film critic Anupama Chopra says in her review that director Lokesh Kanagaraj "wants to expand the mythic heroism in a mass movie" in Leo. Based loosely on A History Of Violence, Vijay "shoulders much of the load of the film", says Anupama Chopra. Vijay does "vulnerability and tragedy" with "grace and conviction", according to Anupama Chopra. (Video Credit: Film Companion)
