Review:
Akhanda
2
is
gearing
up
for
a
major
release
on
12
December
2025,
reaching
audiences
across
India
and
overseas.
The
film
will
arrive
in
Telugu,
Tamil,
Hindi,
Kannada
and
Malayalam,
and
also
in
3D.
Makers
are
targeting
a
wide
theatrical
footprint,
with
expectations
shaped
by
the
huge
popularity
of
the
first
Akhanda.
Buzz
around
the
sequel
has
grown
stronger
after
a
sudden
postponement
earlier
this
month,
which
pushed
the
release
to
December
2025.
Interestingly,
Akhanda
2
has
been
one
of
the
most
anticipated
releases
of
the
year
owing
to
the
massive
success
of
Nandamuri
Balakrishna
and
Boyapati
Srinu’s
Akhanda
which
had
released
in
2021.
To
note,
Akhanda
2
features
Nandamuri
Balakrishna
returning
in
a
dual
role
of
Akhanda
Rudra
Sikandar
Ghora
and
Murali
Krishna.
Samyuktha
Menon
again
plays
the
female
lead,
continuing
the
arc
from
the
first
film.
On
the
other
hand,
Aadhi
Pinisetty
joins
the
cast
as
a
key
antagonist.
Harshaali
Malhotra
features
in
an
important
part,
and
Akhanda
2
marks
Harshaali
Malhotra’s
debut
in
Telugu
cinema.
Directed
by
Boyapati
Srinu
with
Raam
Achanta
and
Gopi
Achanta
producing
under
the
14
Reels
Plus
banner,
Akhanda
2
is
mounted
on
a
larger
budget
than
Akhanda,
with
makers
aiming
for
grander
visuals
and
scale.
In
fact,
Akhanda
2
is
described
as
the
costliest
film
in
the
careers
of
both
Nandamuri
Balakrishna
and
Boyapati
Srinu.
As
the
movie
has
finally
hit
the
screens,
here’s
how
it
is
being
received

1.5/5⭐
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀.
It’s

it

Atrociously
terrible”.
Meanwhile,
Samyukta,
during
a
conversation
with
123Telugu,
got
candid
about
her
role
in
Akhanda
2
and
stated,
“It
will
be
extremely
stylish.
My
role
becomes
very
significant
in
a
key
sequence.
I
was
told
that
I
should
perform
a
song,
which
made
me
nervous.
I
haven’t
done
such
a
mass
song
earlier.
I
decided
to
give
my
best,
but
my
knees
didn’t
cooperate.
Later,
I
underwent
physiotherapy.
We
must
entertain
the
audience.
That’s
the
final
goal
of
an
artist”.
