People have been thinking about Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer Akhanda 2: Thaandavam, an action drama, for a long time. It is getting ready for a big day at the movies.

Industry experts predict that the movie will make a lot of money on its first day. Boyapati Sreenu's sequel is currently in theatres, both in 2D and 3D, even though there was a last-minute delay. The first numbers reveal that it is doing well at the box office.

Akhanda 2 had a hard time getting off the ground, which pushed back its release date, but fans still enjoy it. People in the business anticipate that the movie could generate a lot of money on its first day, maybe even ten crore. This would be a significant problem, especially because it happens during the hectic Christmas season.

Experts say that the sequel's biggest strength will be how well it fares in the Telugu market. People have always liked the music that Balakrishna, filmmaker Boyapati Sreenu, and Thaman S. made together. Many individuals in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, including families and others who wish to do something, are expected to buy tickets early. A few states have also agreed to paid premieres, which will help them garner more attention initially.

Industry experts also think Akhanda 2 will do well in India, but they also think it might not do as well in other countries as some of Balakrishna's past movies or other big Indian hits. But good word of mouth could still bring a lot of people to overseas marketplaces this weekend and in the future.

Experts agree that it's very crucial to sell tickets early, but what people say about the movie will have a big impact on how long it stays in theatres. If Akhanda 2 is as exciting and intense as the first movie, especially with Balakrishna's great acting and Boyapati's larger-than-life style, it might turn early excitement into long-term box office success.

Overall, Akhanda 2 is expected to do quite well at the box office. Most people in most big cities will probably watch it the first day it comes out. But how well the movie does will rely on how much people like the story, the style, and the acting. If the early buzz is genuine, Balakrishna's next movie might be another big hit at the box office.
