Official trailer and plot of Lenin

Set in the 1990s in the village of Srirampuram, Lenin follows an orphan named Lenin, who is raised by Jayanthi, a respected widow who treats him as her own son. The village follows a sacred annual Draupadi festival tradition, during which a strict rule prohibits violence.

The story begins with Lenin returning to Srirampuram after serving a long prison sentence, only to find the villagers turning against him. While preparing for the festival, Lenin falls in love with Bharathi, while his foster brother Vasanth is set to marry Bharathi’s elder sister. However, when Bharathi chooses Lenin, Vasanth selflessly supports their relationship.

Soon, hidden rivalries and personal grudges disrupt the fragile peace. As conflicts within the village escalate, a violent incident during the festival breaks the long-standing tradition. Lenin takes the blame to protect his loved ones and spends years in prison.

Upon his return, Lenin finds Srirampuram trapped in a continuing cycle of conflict. Determined to protect his family and restore peace, he confronts the forces responsible for the village's unrest and sets out to end the generational feud.
