Lenin Pandian is a film that marks the debut of actor Darshan Ganeshan. The Tamil release, featuring a score by Ilaiyaraaja and a cast of familiar faces, has drawn varied responses from audiences and critics.
Summarised from CutMirchi’s coverage.
‘Lenin Pandian’, directed by D.T. Balachandran, marks the launch of Sivaji Ganesan’s grandson Darshan Ganeshan. While the film’s gritty premise and music earn praise, reviewers note uneven pacing and a second half that loses momentum, leaving its box‑office prospects uncertain.
Six films in three languages hit screens on September 25, including Karthik Subbaraj's Dhoratti with Keerthy Suresh, Meesaya Murukku 2 nine years after the original, and Sivaji Ganesan's grandson's debut Lenin Pandian.
Gangai Amaran and Roja shared a cheeky on-set exchange from Lenin Pandian at a recent press meet, with the veteran filmmaker admitting he once asked his co-star for a kiss and got turned down, laughing, on account of his age.
