Netizens Review Lenin
A user took to X and wrote, “1st half #Lenin – Good movie and racy screen play.. story smart good no unnecessary scenes .. But but @MusicThaman u disenchanted me with 1st 2 songs . . Those are the massive let down…@AkhilAkkineni8 good acting but I feel few places slang modified @BhagyashriBose good #Shivaji garu and #Bramhaji garu too good.”
“Genuinely surprised at how much I liked this movie, wow. A correct Telugu business drama after soooo long! I actually have a number of thoughts, so i’ll write them later, but long story short Lenin is so thoroughly written with a solid first half and a very good second half that caught me off guard. It’s been an extended time since we’ve seen a business 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 thoroughly, and Bhagyasree was excellent.”
An individual wrote, “#Lenin is a winner through and thru. Akhil reinvents himself and delivers a confident, convincing performance within 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 affection … Benefit from the movie don’t encourage piracy. He’ll start his phase with this Lenin @AkhilAkkineni8 good show this time.”
