Nandamuri Balakrishna’s film Akhanda 2 earned thirty six crore gross on its first day at the box office despite receiving largely negative reviews from critics. The strong opening reflects the actor’s loyal fan base and the high anticipation surrounding the release.
Fans turned out in large numbers across theaters contributing to a robust opening even though the film faced criticism over its storyline and execution. Industry experts note that star power and pre release promotion often play a significant role in early box office performance regardless of critical reception.
The long term success of the film will depend on audience word of mouth and competition from other releases but the opening day earnings place Akhanda 2 among the stronger openings for a Telugu film this year.
