Naga Chaitanya also took to X to post a note for his brother Akhil Akkineni. The post read, “Your hard work paid off and how ! So happy seeing all the positive response and word of mouth ! Especially about your standout performance @AkhilAkkineni8. Congrats naana @iamnagarjuna, @vamsi84 #BhagyashriBorse @MusicThaman and the entire team of #LENIN.”

Meanwhile, Lenin has opened to positive reviews. An excerpt from SCREEN’s review of the film read, “Akhil Akkineni is the film’s clearest success story. There’s a rawness to his performance, more polished screen presence. This is arguably the most rooted and committed work of his career so far, and it’s easy to see why early reactions have singled him out. He plays Lenin as a man caught between affection and fury, and he sells both registers convincingly, particularly in the film’s more intense second-half stretches.”
