The theatrical run for 'Lenin' is now over. According to reports, the film has collected a total of about Rs 73.50 crore. This translates to a share of Rs 35-40 crore for the distributors. The movie's break-even target was reportedly Rs 22 crore. By that calculation, the film has earned a solid profit of around Rs 15 crore. With a budget of Rs 50 crore and another Rs 30 crore earned from OTT, satellite, and audio rights, the producers are definitely in a safe zone.

Whatever the final collection number, 'Lenin' has joined the hit list. It is now one of the highest-grossing Telugu films of the year. This was Akhil's sixth movie as a hero. After a long struggle, he has finally scored a massive hit and got his first real break. Akhil also received a lot of praise for his performance in the film.
