Lenin had an excellent first weekend at the box office, finishing with a worldwide gross around ₹36 Crore. Starring Akhil Akkineni in the lead role, the rural revenge drama received positive reviews and displayed solid collections across all territories.
Strong Weekend Performance
With day-by-day growth in collections across India, the film performed very well, crossing everyone’s expectations. The consistent upward trend indicates strong word-of-mouth is working in the film’s favor.
| Territory | Collections |
|---|---|
| All India (Tracked) | ₹24.67 Cr |
| All India (Actual Gross) | ~₹30 Cr |
| Overseas | ₹6 Cr |
| Worldwide Total | ₹36 Cr |
Breakeven in Sight
Lenin needs to cross the ₹50 Crore gross mark to achieve breakeven, and based on the first weekend numbers, it is well on course to do so within the first week itself. The film has collected around ₹6 Cr from overseas markets, demonstrating appeal beyond domestic territories.
The success of Lenin is particularly noteworthy for Akhil Akkineni, who has chosen a rural backdrop and intense revenge narrative for this project. The positive box office response suggests the genre and script combination has connected well with audiences.
