Telugu Box Office: Film’s Main Strength
The Telugu version is the primary contributor to Akhanda 2’s box office success. Strong mass appeal and fan-driven openings helped the film post big numbers in its first weekend.
| Day | Telugu Net Collection |
|---|---|
| Day 0 (Previews) | ₹8 Cr |
| Day 1 | ₹21.95 Cr |
| Day 2 | ₹14.85 Cr |
| Day 3 | ₹14.45 Cr |
| Day 4 | ₹5.25 Cr* |
| Total | ₹64.5 Cr |
Performance in Other Languages
Outside the Telugu belt, Akhanda 2 has seen very limited response across Hindi and other dubbed versions.
- Hindi Net (Day 3): ₹0.45 Cr
- Tamil Net (Day 4): ₹1.40 Cr
- Kannada Net (Day 3): ₹0.10 Cr
- Malayalam Net (Day 3): ₹0.05 Cr
These figures clearly show that Akhanda 2 remains a region-driven film with minimal pan-India impact.
Budget vs Box Office Reality
- Estimated Budget: ₹200 Cr
- India Net Recovery (Day 4): ₹66.5 Cr
With a high production cost, the film still needs strong weekday holds and a solid second weekend in the Telugu market to move closer to breakeven territory.
Comparison with Akhanda (2021)
- Akhanda (2021) Opening Gross: ₹29.5 Cr
- Akhanda (2021) Lifetime Gross: ₹133 Cr
Akhanda 2 has started on a bigger note, but sustaining momentum beyond the opening phase will decide whether it can match or exceed the original film’s lifetime performance.
Final Verdict (So Far)
Akhanda 2: Thaandavam has proven once again that Balakrishna’s mass appeal in the Telugu market is unmatched. However, limited response from other regions and a high budget mean the film’s long-term success depends heavily on how well it holds in the coming days.
