Akhanda 2 has completed its first few days in theatres, giving the trade enough data to assess its box office standing.
The film was sold at different prices across regions, leading to varied recovery patterns.
Overall business in Andhra, Nizam and Ceeded was substantial, but the uneven pricing has clearly impacted returns for buyers in several areas.
Audience response has been divided. While the core fan base has embraced the film, general audiences and overseas viewers have shown limited interest.
The heavy mass elements and creative liberties seem to have worked in select pockets but failed to connect universally. As a result, the film is showing sharp regional variations instead of a steady, uniform trend.
Ceeded and the belt from Nellore to Guntur have performed comparatively better, managing to recover close to half of the investment in the opening weekend. Nizam is in a similar position with partial recovery.
However, Uttarandhra, East and West Godavari, and Krishna districts remain weak, with poor recoveries so far, hinting a loss venture. Overseas business has been disappointing, making the film a loss venture there.
Overall, Akhanda 2 appears average in a few regions but underperforms in many others.
