- Lenin, starring Akhil Akkineni, released in cinemas on Friday
- The film blends Mahabharata elements with a village action drama narrative
- Critics noted a flat first half but praised the engaging second half and climax
Akhil Akkineni's latest Telugu film, Lenin, has finally hit cinemas. The action drama opened in theatres on Friday. Now, moviegoers took to social media and shared their initial reactions to the film.
One user wrote, "Director #MuraliKishorAbburu blends the essence of the Mahabharata with a rooted village action drama to craft an engaging narrative. The story truly comes alive from the interval. Once Lenin switches into action mode, the film picks up momentum and raises expectations for the second half. The twists in the latter half work well, even if some are predictable. Murali Kishor Abburu manages to keep them engaging with his screenplay."
Directed by Murali Kishore Abburu, Lenin features Akhil Akkineni and Bhagyashri Borse in the lead roles. The film follows a young man who takes on an influential village strongman in his fight against injustice, setting him on a path of conflict and resistance.
