After a roaring first week and a solid second Saturday bounce, Akhanda 2 slows on Day 10 but remains one of the biggest Telugu box office performers of 2025.
Akhanda 2: Thaandavam continues to assert its dominance at the box office, even as the inevitable slowdown begins to show in its second weekend. The Balakrishna Nandamuri–starrer, directed by Boyapati Srinu, has completed 10 days in theatres with an estimated ₹81.4 crore India net collection across all languages, cementing its status as a certified mass blockbuster.
While Day 10 (second Sunday) saw collections dip to around ₹0.45 crore (live estimate), trade analysts are far from worried. Given the film’s explosive opening, front-loaded mass appeal, and extraordinary Week 1 numbers, Akhanda 2 has already done the heavy lifting.

The Big Picture: Mission Already Accomplished
Let’s be clear — Akhanda 2 already won the box office battle in its first week.
With nearly ₹77 crore collected in just seven days, the film entered its second weekend from a position of immense strength. The Day 9 Saturday jump (+47%) showed that the Balakrishna fanbase is still turning up in large numbers, especially in core Telugu belts.
Day 10’s drop, though steep on paper, is a natural exhaustion phase after an ultra-front-loaded run typical of high-voltage mass entertainers.
Language-Wise Performance: Telugu Market Does the Heavy Lifting
As expected, Telugu versions dominate the film’s earnings, contributing the overwhelming majority of collections.
Week 1 Language Split:
- Telugu: ₹73.35 Cr
- Tamil: ₹2.45 Cr
- Hindi: ₹0.69 Cr
- Kannada: ₹0.18 Cr
- Malayalam: ₹0.08 Cr
Even on Day 10, Telugu markets accounted for almost the entire ₹0.45 Cr figure, while other language versions have largely exhausted their theatrical potential.
Day 10 Telugu Occupancy: Still Holding in Mass Belts
On its 10th day, Akhanda 2 recorded an overall 22.80% Telugu occupancy, driven entirely by morning shows.
Day 10 Telugu (2D) Occupancy:
- Morning Shows: 22.80%
- Afternoon Shows: 0%
- Evening Shows: 0%
- Night Shows: 0%
This pattern is now familiar for mass Telugu films in their second weekend — hardcore fans show up early, while casual audiences taper off.
Region-Wise Occupancy: Guntur and Karimnagar Lead the Roar
Despite the slowdown, several mass pockets continue to show strong occupancy, proving Balakrishna’s iron grip over rural and semi-urban markets.
Strong Regions:
- Guntur: 44% occupancy
- Karimnagar: 38%
- Vizag: 26%
- Vijayawada: 25%
- Hyderabad: 24%
Note: For optimal viewing on mobile devices, rotate the screen.
Moderate to Weak Regions:
- Warangal: 23%
- Mahbubnagar: 21%
- Bengaluru: 13%
- Kakinada: 10%
- Chennai & Mumbai: 0%
The data makes one thing clear: Akhanda 2 is a pure Telugu mass phenomenon, with minimal reliance on metro or non-Telugu markets — and it doesn’t need them.
Why Akhanda 2 Worked Big-Time
Several factors contributed to the film’s box office firestorm:
1. Balakrishna + Boyapati = Proven Formula
The Balakrishna–Boyapati Srinu combo has consistently delivered high-octane mass cinema, and Akhanda 2 doubles down on that identity without apology.
2. Sequel Advantage
Following the cult success of Akhanda, this sequel arrived with sky-high expectations, especially among fans craving larger-than-life action and spiritual symbolism.
3. Festival & Mass Timing
The release window favored single screens and mass circuits, where the film played to packed houses during its first week.
4. Music, Dialogues & Elevation Scenes
From thunderous background score to whistle-worthy punch dialogues, the film is engineered for theatrical celebration — and audiences responded accordingly.
Star Cast and Production Scale
Produced by 14 Reels Plus and IVY Entertainment, the film stars:
- Balakrishna Nandamuri
- Samyuktha Menon
- Aadhi Pinisetty
- Kabir Duhan Singh
- Saswata Chatterjee
- Harshaali Malhotra
The production values, action choreography, and mythological undertones further amplified its appeal among mass audiences.
What’s Next at the Box Office?
With ₹81.4 Cr already in the bag, the film is now cruising in bonus territory. Trade expectations going forward:
- Gradual weekday decline
- Minor spikes on remaining weekends
- Lifetime India net expected to comfortably exceed ₹85–90 Cr, depending on hold
A ₹100 Cr India net finish may be tough from here — but the film doesn’t need it to be declared a major success.
Trade Verdict: A Full-Blown Mass Blockbuster
Despite the Day 10 dip, Akhanda 2: Thaandavam stands tall as one of the biggest Telugu box office successes of 2025.
It delivered thunderous openings, dominated its core markets, and reaffirmed Balakrishna’s unmatched pull in mass circuits. The slowdown was inevitable — the impact is already sealed.
In short:
The roar may be softer now, but the storm has already passed — and it left records behind.
