A year and a half ago, when Manam Entertainments and Sithara Entertainments came together for Lenin, we had just one target, to deliver a resounding blockbuster with Akhil and make every single person associated with this journey proud and happy.
A few weeks ago, while we were finalising the theatrical business, Nagarjuna garu and I made a conscious decision to price the film responsibly across every territory. We were both clear that the distributors and exhibitors who believed in Lenin should be in a position to celebrate its success from the very first weekend. That shared conviction guided every discussion and every decision we took.
Today, nothing gives me greater happiness than seeing our distributors recover their investments by the end of the very first weekend, and our exhibitors celebrating with packed houses and Housefull boards across theatres.
For us, this is what success truly means, not just numbers, but shared happiness. A film succeeds only when everyone in its journey succeeds together.
Our purpose in taking up Lenin now feels fulfilled. Thank you to every audience member who embraced the film with so much love, and to every distributor, exhibitor, and partner who believed in us.
Here’s to many more smiles, many more celebrations, and many more successful journeys together. #Lenin #BlockbusterLenin
With gratitude,

Hearing wonderful things about #Lenin. Delighted by the unanimous appreciation, especially for @AkhilAkkineni8’s performance. Akhil is very dear to me, like another son and it’s a joy to see him grow with every film.
Congratulations to my dear friend @iamnagarjuna, the entire cast and crew. Looking forward to watching Lenin soon. Wishing the film continued success 💐💐💐
The total cost to make and promote the film was around ₹55 crores.
It has already recovered about 50% of its budget by making ₹30 crores from non theatrical rights.
The theatrical business value is around ₹20 crores, meaning it needs a share of ₹22 crores to achieve break-even.
Day 1 ₹16.7 crores
Day 2 ₹21 crores +
--------------------
Total ₹37.2 crores in 2 Days !
Today is the Best Day Of The Film .

Hey @AkhilAkkineni8 Just saw #Lenin , and apart from the FILM being GREAT , I realised that you are the BEST ACTOR in the #Akkineni family and I swear this on @iamnagarjuna 🔥🔥 Your ease is remarkable even when there’s no emotion in the scenes and in the emotional scenes you KILLED it 🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪💐💐💐 A BIG SHOUT OUT to #MuraliKishorAbburi for giving you AWESOME chords to PLAY 💪
SHOCKING FACT: 💀💀
#Lenin collected 10 times more than #Agent on Day 2 alone. 🤯
Not 2× or 3×... a massive 10×. While AGENT did around ₹60 lakh in AP/TG on Day 2, LENIN collected close to ₹6 crore.
And the craziest part is that #Lenin's Day 2 worldwide collection alone is higher than #Agent's entire lifetime worldwide gross. 🤯🤯🤯
#AkhilAkkineni's box office potential is truly something else. 🔥
#Lenin records #Akhil's biggest first weekend at the box office and is all set to become his first ₹50 Cr grosser within its first week. The weekday hold will decide how close the film gets to the ₹75 Cr mark.
