Akhanda 2 Business Breakdown: Territory-Wise Final Amounts

With huge expectations on its box office performance, Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu’s Akhanda 2 did massive business in Telugu states, but sadly, the film will incur losses in almost all areas. 

These are the final approximate amounts paid by distributors to Akhanda 2 producers:

Nizam: ₹19 Cr
Ceded: ₹19 Cr
UA: ₹11 Cr+
Guntur: ₹9 Cr+
East: ₹7.8 Cr
West: Own release
Krishna: ₹6 Cr
Nellore: ₹4 Cr
Overseas: ₹9 Cr

Including the valued West territory and ROI, the producers received around ₹95 Cr from distributors after all revisions, but even at this price, the buyers who have offered huge prices for Akhanda 2 business will end up facing big losses, excluding Dil Raju, as the movie has collected around 54 Cr for 5 days and is likely to end up under 65 Cr in its closing.

At any business level, Akhanda 2 is a loss venture for buyers. Initially, before the release, the worldwide business was valued at around 125 Cr. Later, due to postponements, it was revised to approximately 110 Cr, and finally, the producers received around 95 Cr from distributors.

Akhanda 2: A Lucky Escape for Dil Raju

Akhanda 2 theatrical rights were bagged at massive prices by distributors in all areas, including Nizam, which was bagged by Dil Raju for a record price ever in Balakrishna’s career. Now, the topmost distributor will escape with less loss than expected.

Initially, Dil Raju bought the film for 27 Cr NRA, but after the postponement, the deal was revised, and it is said that he has not paid the full amount like other distributors.

Reportedly, Raju is said to have paid 19 Cr to producers and financiers for Nizam rights of Akhanda 2 and committed to pay the remaining amount after the movie’s release. All other distributors are also reported to have done the same, and they have paid around 70-80% of the committed amount.

Even though other distributors paid 70% of the committed amounts, they are seeing big losses as the movie is not performing at that business level.

Akhanda 2: Nizam turns out to be the best territory for the film

But surprisingly, Nizam, which is normally considered  Balakrishna’s weakest territory, becomes the best-performing area for the sequel to Akhanda. Usually, if Balakrishna’s movies do not open with positive WOM, then they suffer to get a double-digit share, but Akhanda 2 holds really well on the weekend and collected a 14 Cr share in 3 days.

Even on the 1st weekday, Monday, all other areas see a drop in numbers; Nizam holds decently with approximately 1 Cr share, including GST. With that, the film’s share is 15 Cr, and as Dil Raju paid 19 Cr, he sees close to 80% recovery already. Now, a decent hold is enough for the film in this area to get a full recovery for him.

While all other distributors are seeing huge losses, Dil Raju is lucky to get away from this film with no big losses.

Vijay’s Biggest Risk in His Farewell Film

Vijay’s Biggest Risk in His Farewell Film

Jana Nayagan is Vijay’s final film, as he officially announced his retirement from movies because of his political career, and it is slated for release on 9th January. Both content- and box office-wise, the film will carry big expectations, as it is the farewell film for Vijay, and it is said that the film carries a big risk.

The result of this film is crucial for the actor, as everyone wants to end their career on a high note, and as Vijay enters politics, the success gives him more positive energy.  When any star moves to politics, they put some references in movies for political mileage, which is okay to some extent.

But if such elements become overbearing, viewers may struggle to connect with the film’s narrative. There are recent rumors about “Jana Nayagan,” suggesting a 15-minute tribute to Vijay at the end, which could potentially disrupt the viewing experience.

Such an addition definitely falls outside the scope of the movie’s subject, and including these kinds of things can become a big risk for Vijay’s Jana Nayagan, which is the final film. If it succeeds, everything will be fine, but if it fails, it will negatively impact the film’s core idea and the audience’s mood.

Padayappa 1st Weekend Box Office Collections

The re-release of Padayappa, starring Superstar Rajinikanth, has been an exceptional success, with the film registering superb collections at the 1st weekend. The theaters in Tamil Nadu received footfalls in the range of a new tier-2 movie. 

For 3 days, in Tamil Nadu, the film collected  8.5 Cr gross, while the rest of India gathered 1.5 Cr and 2 Cr coming from Overseas. It means Rajinikanth’s Padayappa collected a total of 12 Cr gross at the box office in its 1st weekend. It is one of the biggest numbers for a re-released film. Today, the film is seeing some decent numbers.

Padayappa is a landmark Tamil film, directed by K. S. Ravikumar and produced by Arunachala Cine Creations, with music composed by A. R. Rahman. It was the penultimate release of the legendary Sivaji Ganesan. Ramya Krishnan played one of the best characters in her career, and Soundarya played the female lead, opposite Rajini.

Balakrishna Box Office: 100 Cr Share Milestone Still Awaited

Balakrishna emerged as the most consistent hero among senior heroes with  five consecutive 100 Cr grossers, but he has yet to score a 100 Cr share film. From Akhanda to Daaku Maharaaj, the actor scores continuous successes, but the numbers are not going into a bigger range and are holding at the70 -80 Cr line.

Balakrishna is yet to score a 100 Cr share film. Chiranjeevi pulls off the hundred crore share with his comeback film itself in 2017 with Khaidi No. 150

Also, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and Waltair Veerayya also scored 100 Cr Share, while another senior hero, Venkatesh, not only delivered 100 Cr but  even delivered 150 Cr this year with Sankranthiki Vasthunam and became the 1st hero among senior heroes to do so.

Akhanda 2 is the biggest budget film of Balakrishna, and it further does the biggest business with over 100 Cr. Everyone expected that the actor would join the 100 Cr share club with this film.

But because of below-par content, the film  only did 50 Cr share until the weekend, and on Monday, the film saw a big drop, hinting that it will close under 65 Cr itself, and Balakrishna’s wait for a 100 Cr share film continues.

His next film is with Gopichand Malineni on a historical backdrop, and it needs to be seen whether the film provides the first century to Balayya.

Parasakthi Digital Rights Sold for a Big Price

Sivakarthikeyan has joined hands with director Sudha Kongara for Parasakthi, which is set to be released in theaters on Pongal/Sankranthi 2026, and the film’s digital rights have been acquired by Z5 for a record price of 52 Cr.

It is certainly one of the highest prices that Z5 offered for a film for digital rights, and Parasakthi benefited from the combination of Sivakarthikeyan and Sudha Kongara, and that is why it got such a big OTT deal.

Being made as a political-historical drama, the film is produced by Aakash Baskaran under Dawn Pictures, with music by G. V. Prakash Kumar and cinematography by Ravi K. Chandran.

The film stars a strong ensemble cast, including Jayam Ravi (Ravi Mohan), Atharvaa Murali, Sreeleela, and others.

Mammootty’s Experiment Pays Off, But 100 Cr Wait Continues

Malayalam senior star hero Mammootty has played a wide range of characters in his career, but still at this age (74), he strives to excel as an actor, and in his latest film, KalamKaval, he played the character of a psycho killer. Though his experiment paid off, the film missed its expected target at the box office. 

As said above, Mammootty has been continuously experimenting and delivering super hits and blockbusters in his career. But there is one milestone that is still missing in his pocket; that is the ₹100 Cr club. 

Based on the first-week collections, KalamKaval was expected to enter it for sure, but the second weekend did not see the expected jump. After the second weekend, the film’s worldwide gross stands at around ₹76 Cr and is likely to end up as Mammootty’s biggest, finishing in the ₹90 Cr range, missing the three-figure club by a short margin

Balakrishna’s Massive Box Office Consistency

Nandamuri Balakrishna used to be inconsistent with his films’ box office performance, with one big hit amidst multiple failures, but from Akhanda (2021), the actor is showing an excellent consistency, and he has achieved the 100 Cr gross mark for five consecutive films. 

The veteran actor continues to deliver 50 Cr+ share and 100 Cr+ gross irrespective of WOM. His latest film, Akhanda 2, crossed over 50 Cr share in its opening weekend itself and is set to cross the 100 Cr gross mark this week. 

With five consecutive films achieving this feat, it is a record for a senior hero, and excluding the current generation’s top six stars, Balakrishna is the only one to do so, which tells about his consistency at the box office. Fans hope that he will continue to deliver successful results in the coming years.
