When mass meets divinity, fireworks are inevitable- and Akhanda 2: The Thaandavam has lit up the box office with that exact blend. God Of Masses Nandamuri Balakrishna’s much-anticipated collaboration with director Boyapati Sreenu has exploded into theatres with mind-blowing numbers, rewriting opening-day records for both the star and the director.
After the grand premieres on Thursday, the film opened on Friday to extraordinary crowds and frenzied celebrations. Fans thronged cinemas, transforming theatres into temples of devotion and euphoria. The opening day numbers reflect this unprecedented enthusiasm. Akhanda 2 grossed an astounding 59.5 crore worldwide, the biggest Day 1 in Balakrishna’s illustrious career.
The film’s pre-release buzz was monumental, and it seamlessly translated into ticket sales. On BookMyShow alone, more than half million tickets were snapped up. Most of the theatres witnessed houseful boards, with repeat audiences already driving early repeat watch momentum.
Akhanda 2 has raised the bar for Balayya’s overseas market. The film released to massive openings in the USA, surpassing the $500K mark.
Produced grandly by Raam Achanta and Gopi Achanta of 14 Reels Plus, with M Tejaswini Nndamuri as the presenter, the grand production standards were praised by all. Balakrishna’s aura, backed by Boyapati’s unapologetically grand storytelling, has once again proven unstoppable. As early trends suggest, Akhanda 2 is expected to rake in massive numbers in its first weekend.
