Balakrishna’s Akhanda opened to roaring box office collections on 2nd December 2021. It was NBK’s highest-grossing film of all time, collecting over 18 crores in shares on the first day.
The movie received tremendous response from fans in the two Telugu-speaking states. But what is more interesting is that the movie is doing incredibly well in the USA as well, collecting over $700K as of Saturday evening. This is the highest in NBK’s career.
If Akhanda continues its steady form, it is very likely to cross the $1M milestone within a week of its release. Since it is a Sunday, more people will flock to the theatres to witness Balaiya’s rampage onscreen.
Earlier in the year, LoveStory and Jathi Ratnalu entered the prestigious $1M club in the USA box office, and Akhanda is likely to be added to this prestigious list, becoming only the 55th Telugu film to reach this milestone.
It will be interesting to see if Akhanda can beat the collections of the two Telugu films. Looking at the current trend, that is very possible since there is still time for a big release like Pushpa.
Jathi Ratnalu collected a total gross of $1.05M and Love Story collected a total gross of $1.28M.
Akhanda also stars Pragya Jaiswal, Srikanth, Jagapathi Babu among others, and Boyapati Srinu has directed the film. Akhanda is the third film in the Boyapati-Balakrishna combo, the other two also being super hits.
