Netizens Review Lenin

A user took to X and wrote, “1st half  #Lenin – Good movie and racy screen play..  story wise good no unnecessary scenes .. But but @MusicThaman u disappointed me with 1st 2 songs . . Those are the big let down…@AkhilAkkineni8 good acting but I feel few places slang changed @BhagyashriBose  good  #Shivaji garu and #Bramhaji garu too good.”

“Genuinely surprised at how much I liked this movie, wow. A proper Telugu commercial drama after soooo long! I have a lot of thoughts, so i’ll write them later, but long story short Lenin is so very well written with a solid first half and a really good second half that caught me off guard. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a commercial movie in telugu hit on the drama this well with proper tension, emotions and shock. Everyone performed well and the second half landed so well. Akhil did very well, and Bhagyasree was excellent.”

A person wrote, “#Lenin is a winner through and through. Akhil reinvents himself and delivers a confident, convincing performance in the title role. He carries the film with ease and proves that he’s willing to push himself. Bhagya Sree is a stunner on screen. Nandu keeps the narrative gripping, with no filler scenes once it gets into the core story. The screenplay stays engaging throughout.”

“#lenin Good movie with decent concept of love … Enjoy the movie don’t encourage piracy. He will start his phase with this Lenin @AkhilAkkineni8 good show this time.”
