Akhil Akkineni has made a powerful comeback with his latest action drama Lenin, showcasing a completely new mass makeover after a gap of nearly three years. Released amid high expectations, the film has opened to an impressive response at the box office. Fans celebrated the release by calling it “Akhil 2.0,” as the film delivered the biggest opening-day collection of the actor’s career.
According to the makers, Lenin grossed an impressive ₹16.7 crore worldwide on its opening day. An official poster announcing the Day 1 collections was also released. Audiences have appreciated Akhil’s performance, the action sequences, and the film’s overall content, resulting in packed theatres and houseful shows from the very first day.
Although advance bookings were moderate before the release, positive word-of-mouth significantly boosted occupancy during the evening shows. The encouraging response has also reflected in stronger advance bookings for the second day. Trade analysts believe that if the positive buzz continues, Lenin is likely to maintain its momentum and set new box office milestones in the coming days.
