Lenin has heralded AKHIL 2.0 at the box office. The film’s makers, Sithara Entertainments and Manam Enterprises, officially announced the spectacular opening on social media, stating: "AKHIL 2.0 is here... and the box office has heard it loud and clear. A phenomenal Rs 16.7 CR+ Worldwide Gross on Day 1 for LENIN. The Telugu audience has once again celebrated good cinema in the grandest way possible"
Yes, on Day 1 (July 10), Lenin grossed Rs 16.70 Cr, with $250K coming from North America.
Lenin, say trade analysts, witnessed a buoyant surge in momentum as Friday progressed. What started as a strong opening turned into a clear verdict by the evening. The night shows across Telugu states saw very good crowds, with trade estimates indicating that nearly 50% of the day’s collections in the crucial Nizam territory came solely from late-night screenings.
This late-day boom is proof that the word of mouth for the film is an absolute cracker. With the positive talk spreading like wildfire, Day 2 is universally expected to be even bigger.
Lenin co-stars Bhagyashri Borse, Pramod Panju, Easwari Rao, Sivaji and others.
