Akhanda
2:
Thaandavam,
the
sequel
to
the
2021
Telugu
action
drama
Akhanda,
has
completed
12
days
in
theaters
and
is
now
heading
into
Day
13
of
its
theatrical
run
today
(December
24).
The
film,
led
by
Nandamuri
Balakrishna
and
directed
by
Boyapati
Sreenu,
has
maintained
a
steady
presence
at
the
box
office
despite
notable
weekday
drops.
According
to
data
from
box
office
tracker
Sacnilk,
the
film’s
India
net
earnings
stand
at
an
estimated
₹86.5
crore
after
12
days
across
all
languages.
The
film,
which
released
on
December
12
in
both
2D
and
3D
formats,
continues
the
storyline
from
the
first
installment,
expanding
its
world
with
a
mix
of
fantasy
and
action
elements.
Balakrishna
reprises
his
dual
avatar
as
Akhanda
Rudra
Sikandar
Aghora
and
Murali
Krishna,
stepping
back
into
a
conflict
that
now
stretches
into
the
domains
of
biological
threats
and
spiritual
conflicts.
Samyuktha
Menon,
Aadhi
Pinisetty,
and
Harshaali
Malhotra
play
key
roles,
with
their
characters
tied
closely
to
the
central
crisis
that
drives
the
narrative.
Akhanda
2
opened
strongly,
earning
₹8
crore
from
preview
shows
on
Thursday,
followed
by
a
massive
₹22.5
crore
on
its
first
Friday.
Saturday
and
Sunday
continued
the
momentum
with
₹15.5
crore
and
₹15.1
crore,
respectively.
However,
as
the
first
week
progressed,
the
film
experienced
sharp
weekday
drops,
settling
at
₹5.25
crore
on
Monday
and
₹4.25
crore
on
Tuesday.
By
the
end
of
Week
1,
the
film
had
accumulated
₹76.75
crore
across
languages,
with
the
Telugu
version
contributing
the
bulk
of
the
revenue.
The
second
weekend
brought
a
modest
recovery,
with
Saturday
and
Sunday
showing
upward
movement,
collecting
₹2.55
crore
and
₹3.45
crore,
respectively.
The
second
Monday
saw
a
significant
decline,
with
earnings
dropping
to
₹1.05
crore,
followed
by
an
estimated
₹1
crore
on
Tuesday
(Day
12).
Though
the
film
has
slowed
from
its
initial
pace,
it
remains
on
track
to
approach
the
₹90
crore
mark
in
the
coming
days,
depending
on
holiday-season
turnout.
With
Christmas
week
underway,
the
film
could
register
some
improvement
if
footfalls
rise
during
the
festive
period.
