Akhil Akkineni’s Lenin Rakes in ₹12 Cr Nizam, $500K USA in Opening Weekend

Akhil Akkineni’s latest action drama, Lenin, has stormed the box office with outstanding opening weekend numbers, making a strong mark both in India and overseas. The film, helmed by Murali Kishor Abburu, signals a new high for Akhil, who was looking for a major breakthrough after his recent projects struggled to make a significant impact.

Lenin’s collections in the Nizam region have been particularly impressive, with the film amassing around ₹12 crore in just its first three days. Sunday emerged as the most lucrative day, reflecting growing audience interest and positive word-of-mouth. Overseas, the momentum continued unabated, as Lenin shattered previous benchmarks by comfortably crossing the half-million-dollar mark in the USA—setting a new career best for Akhil. Producers Nagarjuna and Naga Vamsi have played a crucial role in backing this high-budget venture, which benefits from Thaman’s pulsating soundtrack.

Bhagyashri Borse stars as the female lead, bringing fresh energy to the intense revenge narrative. The supporting cast, featuring Pramod Panju, Sivaji, Brahmaji, Sunil, and Easwari Rao, also draws praise for their performances. Social media buzz remains robust, with fans and commentators highlighting the film’s racy screenplay and Akhil’s transformation.

With the crucial weekday test ahead, industry eyes are on Lenin’s sustained performance. Fans are eager to see if the film can maintain its box office dominance in the coming days.
