'Akhanda 2' earns ₹76.64cr in 1st week; here's how
Akhanda 2: Thaandavam, the Telugu fantasy action sequel directed by Boyapati Srinu, stars Nandamuri Balakrishna in dual roles and Aadhi Pinisetty as the villain.
After a delayed release on December 11, the film quickly drew crowds for its mix of mythological themes and big action moments.
In numbers:
The movie kicked off strong with ₹8 crore from paid previews and ₹22.5 crore on its first day, totaling ₹30.5 crore in India net collections.
Collections dropped to ₹15.5 crore on day two and took a sharp dip midweek, but the Telugu version alone brought in most of the total ₹76.64 crore first-week haul.
Box office buzz
Even with its ups and downs, Akhanda 2 is now Tollywood's eighth highest-grosser of 2025—a solid spot for any film this year.
