# Akhanda 2 Roars at the Box Office: Balakrishna's Sequel Nets Rs 46 Crore in Two Days Despite Saturday Dip! **Balakrishna's mass action-packed sequel Akhanda 2** is proving unstoppable, raking in a massive **Rs 46 crore** worldwide by day 2, even with a slight drop on Saturday.[1] Nandamuri Balakrishna's highly anticipated **Akhanda 2**, directed by Boyapati Srinu, stormed theaters on December 12, 2025, following paid previews on December 11. The film shattered expectations right out of the gate, surpassing its 2021 prequel's opening day haul of Rs 21.20 crore with a whopping **Rs 22 crore** on day 1 (Rs 21.5 crore Telugu, plus contributions from Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam versions), excluding previews that added Rs 8 crore for a near **Rs 30 crore** total kickoff.[1] Alternative reports peg the India net at around Rs 33 crore including previews, pushing worldwide grosses to **Rs 40 crore** on opening day, fueled by strong Telugu states performance—especially a record Nizam for NBK—and decent numbers from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.[2] Day 2 brought a minor dip on Saturday, yet the film held firm at **Rs 46 crore cumulative worldwide**, showcasing Balakrishna's enduring stardom and the sequel's rave reviews.[1] In North America, premieres hit **$452K** (about Rs 3.8 crore), marking NBK's 4th biggest premiere there, though mixed word-of-mouth hints at potential weekday challenges.[3] Fans are buzzing about the heartwarming yet action-loaded story exploring innocence, nature, and faith—perfect for Balayya's signature high-octane style.[4] With projections eyeing **Rs 20 crore+** for day 2 to hit Rs 50 crore in the weekend, Akhanda 2 is on track to dominate Telugu cinema this season. Will it cross 200 crores lifetime? The momentum suggests yes!
