Effectively, the film collected approximately â¹22 crore nett on its opening day, with â¹8 crore nett coming from paid premieres.
Despite the sequel hype generated by Akhanda’s blockbuster success in 2021, Akhanda 2 faced the challenge of mixed reviews.
Telugu films generally experience a noticeable drop on their second day, particularly in the Telugu states, due to the financial model where a large portion of opening-day shows are sold at very high ticket prices.
According to early estimates, Akhanda 2 earned â¹15.6 crore nett in India (all languages) on Day 2, which marks a roughly 30% decline from Day 1 and is considered a decent hold.
The film recorded an overall Telugu occupancy of 51.33% on Saturday, December 13, 2025.
Box office performance in North America has been modest, with Akhanda 2 collecting $150K on Friday and $601K from premieres plus Day 1 combined. Both Akhanda 2 and Mowgli showed notable drops on Saturday, raising some concerns for the upcoming days.
Directed by Boyapati Srinu and produced by 14 Reels Plus and IVY Entertainment, Akhanda 2: Thaandavam continues to draw attention as it moves through its opening weekend.
