By: Shanaz B Syed | 23 Jun 2026 5:39 PM ISTDespite the share of its controversies, Peddi turned out to be a ₹400 crore grossing jackpot at the Telugu box office. In just two weeks gap, Samantha’s Maa Inti Bangaram has turned out to be that runaway blockbuster that worked in favour of distributors and exhibitors. The next big film that’s following up these movies is none other than Akhil’s Lenin, which is hitting cinemas on July 10th.
Well, there are lots of positive vibes being felt in Tollywood at the moment, because of these two successes. At a time when films are working at the box office, and audiences are in a mood to come to the theatres, surely a film with above-average content will also click big time. That’s a golden chance for “Lenin” to make it big, if the film can click just like that. As the film is a must score movie for the hero, and also with it being supervised by Nagarjuna from a long time, we have to see how it fares at the box office.
However, even before Akhil hits cinemas on July 10th, there are movies like Satya Dev’s Rao Bahadur hitting cinemas on July 3rd, and RX100 fame director Ajay Bhupathi’s Srinivasa Mangapuram hitting cinemas on July 9th. These two films are also showing huge promise with their trailers and promotions, and we have to see if they too will join the party first and make it big at the box office.
