Akhanda 2 Thaandavam Sets New Record for Balakrishna with 114 Crore Pre Release Business

Nata Simham Nandamuri Balakrishna is poised to set the box office on fire with his latest sensational movie, Akhanda 2 Thaandavam. The film has generated massive hype, resulting in the biggest pre-release business of the actor's illustrious career. According to numbers reported by T2BLive, this project marks a significant milestone as it becomes Balakrishna's first-ever movie to cross the 100 crore mark in pre-release business globally, signaling the immense expectations riding on this sequel. A major chunk of this revenue comes from the Telugu-speaking states, where the film remains a dominant force. The report indicates that the combined business for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana stands at a massive 88.25 crores. Outside the home turf, the movie has also secured solid deals. The rights for Karnataka, the Rest of India, and dubbed versions contributed 11.00 crores, while the overseas market has shown strong faith in the film with rights valued at 15 crores. When putting these figures together, the total worldwide pre-release business is valued at 114.25 crores. To be considered a clean hit at the box office, Akhanda 2 Thaandavam needs to achieve a break-even target of approximately 116.00 crores. This sets a high benchmark for the film, but given the massive anticipation surrounding the sequel, fans and trade analysts are eager to see if Balakrishna can crush these targets upon release. Helming this massive project is director Boyapati Srinu, whose previous collaboration with Balakrishna delivered the blockbuster original.The musical prowess of Thaman S returns to provide the thunderous background score that became a hallmark of the first film. Nandamuri Balakrishna reprises his dual role as the fierce Aghora, Akhanda Rudra Sikandar Aghora, and the righteous Murali Krishna. Joining him is Samyuktha as the female lead, while Aadhi Pinisetty steps in as the formidable antagonist.The film also features Harshaali Malhotra in a pivotal role, adding emotional depth to the high-octane narrative. In this sequel, the stakes are higher as the legendary warrior Akhanda returns to fulfill a divine duty. The story follows the Aghora as he battles a menacing new tantric foe and dark forces that threaten to disrupt global peace. Alongside his twin brother Murali Krishna, Akhanda navigates a narrative that blends high-voltage action with deep spiritual themes, focusing on the protection of the innocent and the eternal Shiva Tatva (the essence of Lord Shiva). Akhanda 2 Thaandavam is not just testing Balakrishna's box office stamina but also the appetite of the audience for mass devotional actioners. If the pre-release numbers are any indication, the Thaandavam is set to shake the foundations of the industry, provided the content matches the colossal hype.

Akhanda 2 Pre-Release Business: Nandamuri Balakrishna's Sequel Sets Massive Break-Even Target Worldwide

Hyderabad, December 10 - The sequel to Nandamuri Balakrishna's action drama Akhanda is all set to hit the big screen on December 12 amid huge anticipation. The movie was originally scheduled to release a week earlier, but was postponed at the 11th hour due to financial hurdles. The first movie, released in 2021, was a big blockbuster and also marked NBK's entry into the 100 crores club. After the big success of Akhanda, Balakrishna hasn't put a foot wrong, and now, the stakes for Akhanda 2 are higher than before. The makers are going all out to promote the film nationwide as they anticipate it to turn a money spinner for them. Top 10 Most Popular Indian Movies of 2025 On IMDb Directed by Boyapati Srinu, Akhanda's pre-release business is being locked, and the early numbers suggest that the movie will require unanimous audience support to break even. According to the reports, the film's theatrical rights have been sold for nearly 100 crores in the Telugu states, including 55 crores in Andhra Pradesh. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Needless to say, the pre-release business of the film is the highest ever for Balakrishna in the home market. Additionally, the rest of India business is reportedly locked at 8 crores while overseas business is around 15 crores. With a total theatrical business of over 120 crores worldwide, Akhanda 2 will need to gross over 225 crores to break even and become a box office hit. Prabhas Gears Up To Shoot For Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit: Big Update Revealed For the record, NBK's highest-grossing movie is Veera Simha Reddy, which was released just after Akhanda, and grossed approximately 130 crores worldwide. The buzz for Akhanda 2 is huge, but it isn't guaranteed for the film's success, especially if the word of mouth is not positive. As has been seen in the past, Telugu movies tend to scummed pretty quickly if the audience reception is not highly favourable. Produced by 14 Reels Plus Entertainment and IVY Entertainment, the film stars Balakrishna in a dual role alongside Samyuktha Menon, Aadhi Pinisetty, Harshaali Malhotra, and others in prominent roles. The movie is scheduled to release on December 5, with previews planned a day before, in multiple languages. Stay tuned...

Box Office: Soori's 'Garudan' Tops 50 Crore Gross Worldwide In 15 Days

Chennai, June 14 - Actor Soori's action thriller Garudan has emerged as a big success and has entered the 50 crores club at the worldwide box office in 15 days. The movie joined horror-comedy, Aranmanai 4 as the only Tamil movie of 2024 to score success at the box office. ## Directed by R. S. Durai Senthilkumar, Garudan has grossed approximately 50.65 crores worldwide, including approx. 42.65 crores in India and an estimated 8 crores at the overseas box office in 15 days. It is currently the 4th highest-grossing Kollywood film of the year, behind Aranmanai 4, Ayalaan, and Captain Miller. ## Garudan received positive reception from critics and audiences upon its release on May 31st. The movie scored 4+ crores gross on its first day and remained solid throughout the first week to earn 27+ crores gross in India. It held firmly in the second week to collect approximately 14.75 crores gross and has started the third week on a good note. ## A consistent decent run for Garudan could take it to 50 crores gross mark domestically, however, Vijay Sethupathi's Maharaja might dent its chances as it also started strongly to collect over 5+ crores gross domestically. It will be interesting to see how both the movies go from here on. ## Produced by Grass Root Film Company and Lark Studios, Garudan stars Soori, M. Sasikumar and Unni Mukundan in the lead roles. Roshini Haripriyan, Sshivada, Revathi Sharma, Samuthirakani, Vadivukkarasi, R. V. Udayakumar and Mime Gopi appear in supporting roles. It follows Sokkan, a trusted confidante of two childhood friends, Aadhi and Karuna, whose loyalty is changed by a dynamic between betrayal and survival. ## Stay tuned...
