Many recent films with references to Itihasas and Sanatana Dharma have done well in the Hindi market, and Akhanda 2 was expected to follow the same trend. The team promoted the film as a pan-India release, holding press meets and giving interviews in Hindi to attract audiences.
But sadly, the film failed to draw even a minimum crowd in Hindi theaters. Its content did not connect with audiences, and the overwhelming success of Dhurandhar overshadowed Akhanda 2 in Hindi, with the film closing under ₹1 crore net, which does not even cover theatrical expenses, marking it as a major failure.
In Telugu, the situation is slightly better. Although the movie did not receive strong positive response initially, word of mouth helped it achieve respectable numbers. The film is now heading towards crossing the ₹100 crore gross mark by Thursday, even as it faces losses overall due to mixed reception.
