Akhanda 2 Two days box office collections
After Akhanda 2 opened to mixed response and criticism on Friday, trade pundits predicted that the Balakrishna-starrer would witness a sharp decline on the second day (Saturday). But much to everyone’s surprise, Akhanda 2 held its ground and stood firm. The Boyapati Srinu directorial managed to collect Rs 15.5 crore on day 2 despite the negativity that surrounded. This takes the overall film’s net collections to Rs 46 crore (including premieres) in India. Although the film witnessed a 30 per cent drop in collections, the decline was not as significant as predicted.
