Akhanda 2 OTT Streaming Date

After facing a lot of hurdles, finally, the sequel to Akhanda by Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu was released last weekend, 12th December, and opened with below-par WOM and reviews. Now, the OTT streaming date of Akhanda 2 is out.

As said above, the film received not-so-positive reviews or responses, and due to this, the film just managed to collect in the range of 50 Cr share for the weekend, with less than 50% recovery. The weekdays’ performance is crucial to get at least 2/3 recovery for buyers.

The film’s digital rights are bagged by Netflix for a record price, and the streamer is said to have fixed 9th January, 2026, as the OTT streaming date of Akhanda 2.

Though the film was also released in Hindi, it was not screened in national multiplex screens because of the 4-week theater-to-OTT window.

James Cameron’s Strict Instructions for Screening Avatar: Fire and Ash

As anticipation builds for the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash on December 19, director James Cameron has issued a personal message to theater technicians, emphasizing the importance of precise projection and sound calibration. His note, shared with the film’s DCP package, highlights how critical the final presentation is in delivering the immersive experience he meticulously crafted.

Cameron stresses that the film, Avatar: Fire and Ash, was mixed with great care to balance quiet dialogue and explosive action sequences, and he requests that theaters maintain the reference audio standard of 7.0 to preserve the full dynamic range. He also reminds technicians to follow the included projection specifications and framing charts to ensure optimal visuals and sound. His message is clear: the audience’s experience hinges on how the film is presented in each theater.

In Avatar: Fire and Ash, created by James Cameron, Jake Sully and Neytiri are back, battling new stuff on Pandora, including a super-powerful Na’vi clan. The movie’s expected to deliver cool visuals, an emotional story, and take sci-fi to the next level.

Varanasi in Talks With Netflix

Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli’s Varanasi is the biggest project in Indian cinema, which targets international markets, and was announced for summer 2027 as the release date. The film shoot is in progress now, and the movie has already created a big anticipation with its announcement event.

The filmmakers are said to be in talks with OTT giant Netflix for streaming rights for all languages. Pushpa 2 is the biggest OTT deal till now in Indian cinema, and Varanasi makers are said to have quoted 25% higher than that.

Reportedly, the amount in discussion is a base price, and based on theatrical performance, the amount will be increased. This base price and the link with the theatrical performance are the new strategy from the OTT platforms, and all are following the same approach now.

Can Varanasi get huge profits with the new OTT strategy?

Now, movies are finding it difficult to secure major OTT deals compared to the past. However, Netflix has reportedly shown significant interest in the Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu film, likely due to the success of Rajamouli’s previous film, RRR, on the platform, and as mentioned, Varanasi targets both Indian and international languages.

Akhanda 2 1st weekend Box Office Collections: Below Par

Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 has completed its 1st weekend at the box office, and the film has gathered below-par collections. The film suffered because of the mixed word of mouth; otherwise, it could have done much better numbers. 

Akhanda 2 1st weekend Worldwide Share

  • Nizam : 14 Cr
  • Ceeded: 9 Cr
  • UA : 4.15 Cr
  • Guntur: 4.7 Cr
  • East : 3.45 Cr
  • West: 2.4 Cr
  • Krishna: 3 Cr
  • Nellore: 2.2 Cr
  • ROI : 4.4 Cr
  • Overseas: 3.6 Cr
  • Worldwide: 50.9 Cr

The premieres received superb bookings, and, as mentioned above, since the reviews were not positive, Akhanda 2 collected over 50 crores share worldwide in its 1st weekend.

With the theatrical rights being valued at 110 Cr, the recovery is less than 50%. The distributors are already worrying about the film’s future run in theaters, and if it fails to see decent momentum on weekdays, then it will end up as a high-loss venture for buyers. Let us wait and see how the film performs in the coming days.

Kaantha OTT Backfires

Dulquer Salmaan believed heavily in the script of Kaantha, and he not only acted as the film’s lead but also produced it. However, his efforts went in vain as the film failed to receive positive responses from audiences and critics. After a poor theatrical performance, Kaantha disappoints upon its OTT debut as well. 

Rana Daggubati, who played a crucial role in the film, is also a co-producer for the film. The movie was expected to be one of the classic films even before its release. However, it failed to connect with theatrical audiences and ended up as a box-office failure. 

Because of the periodic backdrop and movie shooting backdrop, many expected it to receive a better response in the digital space. But surprisingly, the OTT audiences’ response to Kaantha has been even poorer than the theatrical response, and the film disappoints in both theatrical and digital releases.

Akhanda 2 Special Screening for Narendra Modi

Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu’s Akhanda 2 is performing decently at the box office despite facing bad word of mouth and the latest news is that the film will be shown to the prime minister of India, Narendra Modi.  

Released on December 12, Akhanda 2 did not receive the expected level of positive feedback from its premiere shows. However, despite the mixed initial response, the film managed to collect reasonably good box-office revenues during its first three days.

During the film’s success meet, director Boyapati Srinu revealed that a special screening of Akhanda 2 would be arranged for the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. Recently, the producers hosted the Akhanda 2 success meet, where Boyapati Srinu once again confirmed that Prime Minister Modi would be watching the film through a special screening.

India is like a Library of Dharma, says Akhanda 2 Director Boyapati Sreenu

Speaking at the event, Boyapati Srinu said, “India is like a library of dharma. Dharma is the root and foundation of our nation. Countries that believe in dharma stand differently from those that do not. A human being may win or lose based on their own efforts, but when God decides, there is only victory. The success of this film is proof of that.”

He further added that the film’s success is God’s will and thanked the audience wholeheartedly for their immense support. Boyapati Srinu also mentioned that presenting Akhanda 2 in 3D has been a new experience. Echoing music director Thaman’s words, he said everyone should prosper and emphasized that the Telugu film industry should come together as one. He concluded by stating that a special screening of Akhanda 2 for Prime Minister Narendra Modi would soon be organized in Delhi.

Premante OTT Release Date: Streaming on Netflix

Premante, the latest romantic comedy drama starring Priyadarshi and Anandhi in the lead roles, is gearing up for its digital release. Priyadarshi, known for his strong performances, teams up with Anandhi, who has earned a good reputation as a talented actress in both Telugu and Tamil cinema. The film was released in theatres on the 21st of last month but failed to make a strong impact at the box office. However, it is now ready to reach a wider audience through OTT.

Starting from the 19th of this month, Priyadarshi’s ‘Premante’ will be available for streaming on Netflix in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. The film is directed by Navaneeth Sriram and features a supporting cast that includes popular anchor Suma Kanakala, Vennela Kishore, Hyper Aadi, Abhay Bethiganti, and Surabhi Prabhavathi in key roles.

The story revolves around Madhusudhan, also known as Madhi (played by Priyadarshi), and Ramya (played by Anandhi), a young woman who wants her life to be exciting and thrilling. The two meet at a wedding, fall in love, and eventually get married with the approval of their families. However, complications arise when Ramya discovers that Madhi is a thief. How she reacts to this revelation and the changes it brings to their lives form the rest of the story.

Avatar: Fire and Ash Bookings Disappoint in India

James Cameron’s Avatar Part 1 works brilliantly for Indian audiences, which made the anticipation even higher for the next part, which became a massive blockbuster in India as well. However, the third part, Avatar: Fire and Ash’s bookings, are disappointing in India.

Avatar: The Way of Water, which is the second part of the franchise, gathered a massive opening of over 40 Cr net, even though the film did not receive a unanimous positive WOM. It went on to do superb numbers at the box office and collected more than 450 Cr gross in India.

The mixed WOM and result of Avatar 2 seems to have impacted the bookings of Avatar: Fire and Ash in India, which is scheduled for release on 19th December. The advances are shockingly very low for the movie.

At this moment, the opening is likely to be much lower than Avatar 2 unless some big turnaround happens in the last days of bookings. Avatar 3 is crucial for the franchise’s future, with James Cameron planning fourth and fifth installments. If the film doesn’t perform similarly to Part 2 in India, it may struggle to achieve significant box office success.
