Akhanda 2 Targets Career-Best Opening for Balakrishna

Within a few hours, Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 premieres will start worldwide, much to the delight of fans who have massive expectations for the film, and it is all set to register the career-best openings for the actor. 

In terms of budget and business, Akhanda 2 emerged as the highest one for Nandamuri Balakrishna. The film cleared all hurdles and is releasing in theaters tomorrow and premieres tonight. The movie is releasing with big ticket prices, with a flat ticket rate of 600 Rs for premieres, and it also has a considerable hike for regular shows as well in the Telugu states.

The initial bookings are solid and much better than expected. Daaku Maharaaj scored the best opening for Balakrishna with 51 Cr+ Gross worldwide, and irrespective of word of mouth, Akhanda 2 is set to beat this with its initial bookings trend. If the word of mouth comes positively from early premieres, then the sequel to Akhanda is expected to see over 65 Cr start at the box office.

Akhanda 2 Update: Makers Deny All Premiere Rumours, Grand Shows Set for Tonight

After facing some unexpected financial hurdles at the last minute, Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 is all set for worldwide theatrical release, with grand premiere shows tonight. There were a few doubts about its release with the latest order from the Telangana High Court, but the makers denied all those rumors.

The makers made an official announcement and requested everyone not to believe any circulating rumors about the premiere shows. “Everything is completely on track for the grand premieres of Akhanda 2,” they said.

Balakrishna fans are eagerly awaiting seeing their favorite idol playing the fascinating character of Aghora in the film, Akhanda 2. The film’s bookings are also going on a solid note, and it is set for an excellent opening on the first day.

Another Hurdle for Akhanda 2: High Court Cancels Ticket Hike GO

It looks like Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu’s Akhanda 2: Thaandavam has to clear one more obstacle for its theatrical release, as the Telangana High Court has cancelled the GO that allowed special shows and increased ticket prices for the film.

The High Court has cancelled the government order (GO) that permitted increased ticket prices for the special shows of Akhanda 2 after receiving a lawsuit. If we remember, a similar situation occurred with OG, where the GO was struck down at the last minute. However, the producers of OG chose to file an appeal.

Despite the legal setback, OG premieres went ahead as planned, and the ticket price hikes continued for the allotted days before the court finally intervened and halted them.

Now, the producers of the Akhanda sequel should also go down the same route, as the bookings have already opened and tickets have been sold at hiked prices, and cancelling them at this time is practically not possible.

Annagaru Vostaru Postponed

As expected, Karthi’s Vaa Vaathiyaar (Annagaru Vostaru) has been postponed from its December 12th release, and it will not be released in theaters tomorrow due to unresolved financial issues. This was always coming, given the uncertain circumstances of the makers.

It is being said that the film is likely to be released on 13th December instead of 12th December, but it is not yet confirmed, and we will have to wait for the official announcement from the team.

Reports suggest that Vaa Vaathiyaar’s producers are yet to repay the pending amount of Rs 21 crore to their financier, and the case remains unresolved in court. The Madras High Court has put a hold on the film, Vaa Vaathiyar’s release, and it stands postponed until the financial matters are resolved. Nalan Kumarasamy directs the film, starring Karthi, Rajkiran, Krithy Shetty, and others.

December Month Turns Unlucky For Tamil Cinema

Along with Vaa Vaathiyaar, Pradeep Ranganathan and Vignesh Shivan’s Love Insurance Kompany was also postponed this month, much to the disappointment of fans. Now, they will have to find some sort of relief with Rajinikanth’s Padayappa, the iconic film, which is set to hit theaters again on December 12.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh: Two Release Options

Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh started its promotions recently, and there is a strong buzz that the film is considering two release options, March 19th and March 26th. Ram Charan’s Peddi was set to arrive during the same period, but it is said that the film is likely to be postponed.

The release date of Ustaad Bhagat Singh will be announced very soon, but the reports suggest that the makers are looking at two options, as said above. 19th March will be a blockbuster date, as festivals like Ugadi, Ramzan, Sri Rama Navami, and Good Friday will fall in the first two weeks.

UBS is a commercial entertainer, and an early summer release date will certainly raise the film’s box office stakes. Meanwhile, the PSPK fans eagerly await the film’s first single, which is set to be released on December 13th.

Akhanda 2 Set for Record Opening in Nizam

Balakrishna is considered to be the weakest hero in Nizam among senior heroes, but with continuous good films, he has bettered his market in the region, and now with Akhanda 2, he is set for the biggest opening in his career and among senior heroes too.

Veera Simha Reddy, with a 7 Cr+ share, is the biggest opening for Balakrishna in Nizam, while Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, with around an 8 Cr share in Nizam, is the biggest opening for a senior hero. 

As mentioned above, Akhanda 2 is all set to break all these records in Nizam, as the advance booking trend is superb. The film’s opening is benefiting from big ticket hikes and a flat premiere price of 600. If the word of mouth comes positive from early premieres, then there is a chance of the film getting a double-digit share; also, with that, Balakrishna will become the first hero to achieve this.

Akhanda 2: Final Theatrical Breakeven Numbers

Akhanda 2 is gearing up for a grand theatrical release tomorrow with premieres tonight. Because of the delay, the film’s pre-release business has gone through some changes, and the breakeven numbers for the distributors of Akhanda 2 are different now.

Interestingly, the postponement has generated more buzz for the film, and it’s already showing strong advance bookings with much better momentum than last week. However, due to the delay, some distributors who still owed payments renegotiated and only paid a portion of their outstanding balance.

There is also talk that overseas and the rest of India’s numbers have also been revised because of the date shuffle.

Earlier, the breakeven target for Akhanda 2 distributors in the Telugu version was ₹125 Cr, but now it has been changed to around ₹110 Cr. So, the film needs to collect more than ₹180 Cr gross to achieve box office success, and if it reaches ₹200 Cr gross, it will be declared a super hit.

For the producers, the film needs to perform even better than expected, as they anticipate overflows that will help them resolve certain financial issues. With the growing buzz, a positive word-of-mouth opening tonight will definitely lead to exceptional box office numbers.
