Box Office Talk: How Does Akhanda 2 Compare To Daaku?

Nandamuri Balakrishna returned to the big screen with his latest film Akhanda 2. Considering the fact that this is a sequel, a lot was expected of this film at the ticket counter and let us have a look at the kind of numbers that it could post in comparison to the other recent films of Balayya.

Balakrishna has once again proven his mass box office strength with impressive worldwide collections with his recent films. Among them, Akhanda 2 stands tall with a gross collection of 85.9 crore, translating into an impressive share of 51.45 crore.

Daaku Maharaaj has slightly surpassed Akhanda 2 in gross figures by collecting 87.85 crore worldwide within three days. Its share stands at a solid 54.30 crore, making it one of Balakrishna’s strongest openings in recent years. The film benefited from festive buzz and positive word of mouth.

Bhagavanth Kesari recorded a comparatively moderate opening with a worldwide gross of 51.15 crore and a share of 29.48 crore. Despite lower numbers, the film was appreciated for its emotional depth and message oriented storytelling.

Veera Simha Reddy delivered a powerful start by collecting 73.90 crore gross and securing a strong share of 44.50 crore. The film reinforced Balakrishna’s image as a mass entertainer.

Akhanda, which marked a major turning point in his career, earned 56.90 crore gross in three days with a share of 35.40 crore, laying the foundation for his recent box office dominance. But the crucial challenge for this sequel of Akhanda is going to be to carry this momentum and recover the massive investments that are in place.
