Akhanda 2 Day 1 Box Office Collection: Balakrishna Film Opens Big Worldwide
Nandamuri Balakrishna’s much-awaited action drama Akhanda 2 has opened to an explosive response at the box office, creating a festive atmosphere in theatres. Directed by Boyapati Srinu, the film began its theatrical run with late-night premieres on December 11 and received largely positive word-of-mouth from the very first show.
Audiences have praised the film’s blend of mass appeal, high-octane action and spiritual undertones. Balakrishna’s commanding screen presence and powerful action sequences — reminiscent of a Shiva Tandava — have emerged as major highlights, drawing loud cheers from fans. The film is witnessing packed houses across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and overseas markets, with celebratory scenes reported outside several theatres.
Strong Advance Bookings and Trade Estimates
According to trade circles, the strong buzz is clearly translating into ticket sales. Reports suggest that nearly 10,000 to 15,000 tickets are being booked every hour on online platforms, an impressive figure even by Balakrishna’s standards. Based on current trends, Akhanda 2 is expected to collect between ₹65 crore and ₹80 crore gross worldwide on Day 1.
Industry trackers also point out that the lack of major competing releases has worked in the film’s favour, allowing it to dominate screens and show timings.
Early India Box Office Numbers
As per early estimates circulating on trade portals, including premieres, the film reportedly earned around ₹36.18 crore gross in India on its first day. This includes approximately ₹30.75 crore from Telugu states, ₹3.77 crore from Karnataka, ₹1.13 crore from Tamil Nadu, and modest collections from Kerala and the rest of India. However, the makers are yet to make an official announcement regarding the final figures.
Weekend Boost Expected
Balakrishna's last film Akhanda (2021) indeed had a good start and the revenue was around ₹30 crore on Day 1 in spite of the restrictions related to the pandemic. The trade analysts see Akhanda 2 as a movie that will comfortably be able to beat that benchmark. With a strong mass audience and positive social media buzz, the film is anticipated to gain even more traction during the weekend.
In case the present situation lasts, the film's listeners are predicting that Akhanda 2 will be able to make ₹150 crore gross in the first week itself, which can easily be counted among the biggest openings of Balakrishna's film career. The combination of the popular Balayya–Boyapati team's trust and the fans' excitement seems to be the reason for the film's box office success.
The fans are still celebrating but the question 'how many records will Akhanda 2 break in the near future?' is keeping everyone in suspense.
