Akhanda 2 finally opened in the theatres

Akhanda 2: Thandavam, an action-adventure movie with Nandamuri Balakrishna, has done very good business at the box office. The movie picked up well on its first day and stayed that way through the first weekend.

There was a big drop in ticket sales on Monday, but theaters are still filled, which means that people are still interested. The highly anticipated sequel Akhanda 2: Thaandavam is still doing well at the box office after its first four days in theaters.

Early estimates from the industry say that the action-packed Telugu movie has made about Rs 66 crore nett in India in its first four days. The buzz over the weekend and the large number of fans who showed up helped keep ticket sales steady even on the Monday after the movie came out.

This shows that Balakrishna is still popular with the public and that the movie's marketing was working.

The strong start of the movie is similar to how it did over the first weekend. Akhanda 2 got off to a good start at the box office after making money before its release and during previews.

It kept going in the same direction for the first three days, with each day adding a lot to the total, which was estimated to be around Rs 66.5 crore by the end of Day 4.

Many audiences have praised Balakrishna’s patience and guts to have taken up such a concept at this age.

With a lot of people going to watch it, people in the industry are now curiously waiting to see how high the movie can go in the next few weeks as it reaches bigger box office milestones.

Also, keeping in mind that there are not any big releases in the last two weeks of December, the makers are expecting high revenue.
