The Telugu film 'Lenin', starring Akhil Akkineni, recorded a 29.3% increase in collections on its 16th day, taking the worldwide total to ₹65.52 crore.
The Telugu action‑thriller 'Lenin', directed by R. R. Bhaskar and featuring Akhil Akkineni in the lead, has entered its third week of theatrical run. On the 16th day, the film posted a 29.3% rise in daily collections, a notable uptick for a film already in its second fortnight.
The surge pushed the worldwide gross of 'Lenin' to ₹65.52 crore, according to the latest figures released by the distributor. While the domestic and overseas breakdowns were not disclosed, the overall figure marks a significant milestone for the film.
Industry observers note that a jump of nearly 30% on a day that is usually a decline for most releases indicates strong word‑of‑mouth and a loyal audience base. The film’s performance is seen as a positive sign for mid‑budget Telugu productions in the current market.
With the box office numbers still climbing, 'Lenin' is expected to continue its run in major centers across India, potentially extending its theatrical life beyond the typical 21‑day window.
