Akhanda 2 Targets Big Box Office but Needs Stronger Buzz

Share


Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 stands as one of the most anticipated upcoming releases in Telugu cinema. Directed by Boyapati Srinu, the film serves as a sequel to the 2021 blockbuster Akhanda and is set for a pan-India release on December 5. Unlike its predecessor, the sequel will hit theatres in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi, reflecting its expanded scale and increased budget.

Trade reports suggest that Akhanda 2 needs to surpass Rs. 200 crores at the box office to emerge as a profitable venture—nearly double the lifetime collection of the first film, which grossed around Rs. 120 crores in 2021.

However, the sequel currently lacks the strong pre-release momentum that the original enjoyed. Promotions began relatively late, resulting in lower buzz across markets. Although the recently released theatrical trailer is generating good traction in the Telugu states, its impact on audiences in other languages remains uncertain. With less than two weeks remaining until release, the team must intensify promotions to boost visibility and ensure a solid opening. A strong word of mouth will be crucial for the film to cross the break-even mark and achieve commercial success.
