Akhil Akkineni’s eagerly awaited Telugu action drama Lenin has started its journey at the box office with an estimated ₹5.90 crore (India net) on its opening day. The movie was released on July 10, marking Akhil’s return to the big screen after a three-year absence and has generated much excitement among the fans. Early trade estimates suggest that the film is going to have a worldwide gross of about ₹9.73 crore, which is a solid start to the box office.
Directed by Murali Kishor Abburu, Lenin is an emotional adventure story that combines romance and family values with village politics. Bhagyashri Borse plays the female lead and the film’s veteran actors Ramki, Sivaji, Sunil, Brahmaji, and Easwari Rao are key supporting actors. Annapurna Studios, Sithara Entertainments, and Fortune Four Cinemas had already got so much buzz on the movie for the teaser, trailer, and music before it started showing.
The film had good occupancy in morning shows and then picked up in the afternoon and evening in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Positive word of mouth from the audience helped to increase footfalls throughout the day and viewers were impressed with Akhil Akkineni’s performance, action scenes, emotional depth, and the film’s engaging story. Trade analysts expect that the positive response will translate into stronger collections over the weekend.
One of the most talked about moments of Lenin is Akhil Akkineni’s performance and this according to many fans is one of the best in his career. Coming back from the poor performance of his last film, he is showing that he has made a strong comeback and is showing his action skills and emotional range. The chemistry between Akhil and Bhagyashri Borse is also welcomed by the audience.
The film’s great success has been received well by the Akkineni family and Telugu film industry. There are some emotional scenes from the movie’s success celebration with Akhil Akkineni and his father, the veteran actor Nagarjuna, that went viral on social media. Naga Chaitanya also wished his younger brother success and expressed confidence in the box office performance of the film and his love of the film.
Lenin has competition from other regional and Hindi releases, but its strong opening suggests that there is interest from the audience. If word-of-mouth is good, the film will grow on Saturday and Sunday, box office experts say. Family audiences and action movie fans are expected to contribute to the weekend collections, which will determine the film’s box office performance for years to come.
With a total opening day collection of ₹5.90 crore in India and ₹9.73 crore worldwide, Lenin has given Akhil Akkineni an encouraging start. The movie will have to keep this momentum to be one of the best Telugu releases of the year. Lenin will have a great opening weekend and keep Akhil Akkineni’s box office appeal high.
