‘Lenin’ movie review: An epic love story? Not quite
The Telugu film 'Lenin', starring Akhil Akkineni, attempts to blend mythological themes with a revenge drama set in rural Andhra Pradesh. The review notes that while the film has visual detail, it fails to create a compelling emotional connection with the audience.
Lenin , the Telugu film written and directed by Murali Kishor Abburu, opens with the assertion that no war is more violent than love — a nod to stories from Greek and Indian mythology. Marking Akhil Akkineni’s return to the screen after three years, the film aims to tell an epic love story .
