Here's what X users say about Lenin?
The film has received mixed reviews from the viewers, who watched it in theatres on the day of its release. Some appreciated the chemistry between Akhil Akkineni and Bhagyashri Borse especially in the first half while others felt the film lost steam after the interval.
One user wrote, “#Lenin works in the first half because the setup is strong, the characters are engaging and there is a decent interval, although it is familiar. The second half slips away as things happen quickly and suddenly. Things become hectic and rushed. Everything is happening at once, without room for emotion.
Another viewer called the first half of the film “super intense” and “engaging.” The X post said,the first half of #Lenin is way better than I expected! Super intense and engaging from the get go, tons of solid story and drama packed in, no filler what so ever.The friendship and love tracks are done beautifully. Giving enough screen time to so many characters really makes the emotional scenes land. ##Sivaji’s role is strong and those pre interval portions are totally unpredictable. The chemistry between #Akhil and #Bhagyashri is fantastic. Big thumbs up!”
However, although many people enjoyed the film, some viewers noticed flaws in the film and criticised the predictable storyline and said that several scenes were easy to predict.One user on X wrote: “Easy to predict several twists and story beats. The songs could have been better.
