Akhanda 2: Thaandavam has completed ten days in cinemas, continuing its theatrical run across multiple languages despite mixed to negative critical reviews.
Akhanda 2 Day 10 box office collection
According to trade site Sacnilk, the film collected ₹76.75 crore in its first week, with the bulk of earnings coming from the Telugu version. The Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam versions contributed smaller amounts.
On Day 8 (second Friday), the film earned ₹1.7 crore, showing a decline of over 40 per cent. Collections improved on Day 9 (second Saturday) to around ₹2.5 crore based on rough data. Early estimates for Day 10 (second Sunday) stand at ₹2.42 crore, taking the total 10-day collection to ₹83.37 crore.
Occupancy figures on Day 10 reflected moderate audience turnout. Morning shows recorded 22.80 per cent occupancy, while afternoon shows improved to 46.65 per cent in Telugu-speaking markets.
Trade reports also note that the film crossed the ₹00 crore mark worldwide early in its run, marking entry into the so-called “100 crore club,” a notable milestone for Balakrishna as it continues his streak of high-earning films.
However, some regional box office analyses describe underperformance in certain markets, and the film’s weekday collections have been weaker compared with its opening weekend numbers.
