They also praised the Vijay-starrer but stressed that the film contains several 'violent and gory scenes', making it not suitable for the 'faint-hearted'.
They said, "LEO is intense. With strong violence and detailed gory scenes that ended up being more graphic than even we anticipated, it's not for the faint-hearted. Although we targeted a 15+ rating for LEO, the BBFC gave it an 18+, meaning only those aged 18 and up can see it in cinemas. This unfortunately excludes younger students between the ages of 15-17."Leo on IMAX: It's official! Leo is one of the biggest Indian films of the year.
