By day four, the Telugu film Lenin has crossed the box‑office mark of Akhil Akkineni's earlier hit, Most Eligible Bachelor, making it his highest‑grossing release to date.
The Telugu romantic drama Lenin, starring Akhil Akkineni and Nivetha Pethuraj, has reported a day‑four collection that surpasses the total earnings of Akkineni’s previous blockbuster, Most Eligible Bachelor. According to the latest figures released by the film’s distributors, Lenin has amassed a cumulative gross that now stands as the actor’s highest‑earning film to date.
The record‑breaking milestone was announced during a brief press briefing at the film’s distribution office. Akkineni’s team confirmed that the total box‑office haul has eclipsed the ₹1.5 billion mark, a figure that had been the benchmark for the actor’s career since the 2019 release.
Industry analysts note that Lenin’s strong performance is attributed to its wide release across multiplexes and single screens in key markets such as Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai. The film’s marketing campaign, which included a series of promotional events and a viral social media push, has also played a role in sustaining audience interest.
While the film’s success is celebrated by fans and critics alike, distributors are already planning a strategic push for the upcoming holiday season, aiming to further extend Lenin’s run in theatres.
