The Raja Saab Box Office: Suffers A Higher Deficit Than Akhanda 2 ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) Prabhas’ mega Sankranti release, The Raja Saab, is a failure of epic proportions. Released amid high expectations, it kicked off its journey on a strong note but afterwards, it completely lost its track. Due to its exorbitant price tag, the film has emerged as a big flop at the Indian box office with collections less than 150 crore net. Shockingly, it’s in higher deficit than Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2. How much did The Raja Saab earn at the Indian box office in 27 days? Due to poor word of mouth and stiff competition from Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, the Telugu fantasy horror-comedy entertainer failed to make it big even after a solid start. Coming to the latest update, the film earned just 2 lakh on its fourth Wednesday, day 27. Overall, it has earned 146.03 crore net at the Indian box office. It equals 172.31 crore gross. Here’s the week-wise collection breakdown: Week 1 – …

The film has soared past the ₹125 crore mark in three days, refusing to slow down at the worldwide box office.

Akhanda 2 Worldwide Closing Box Office Collections: Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer flops with Rs 112 crore

Published by Parlour News

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 has exhausted its entire run at the box office. The Telugu movie disappointed big time with its box office run, as it neither could clock a good opening nor a promising trend.  Served as the sequel to the 2021 Super Hit film, Akhanda, the latest Balayya movie could gross just Rs. 112 crore in its lifetime run, at the worldwide box office. This is not a good figure for a franchise mass action film, especially when the original film was one of the first biggest hits in the post-pandemic times from Telugu cinema.  Talking about its territorial breakdown, the NBK movie fetched Rs. 36 crore from Andhra Pradesh, Rs. 32 crore from Nizam, and Rs. 16 crore from Ceeded, making a cume of Rs. 84 crore in its home markets. The rest of the Indian territories contributed around 16 crore, of which Rs. 11 crore came from Karnataka alone. That made its domestic box office cume reach the Rs. 100 crore gross mark. The movie was also released in Hindi dubbed audio, …

Akhanda 2 Box Office Collection Day 22 ( Photo Credit – YouTube ) After Daaku Maharaaj, Nandamuri Balakrishna is in for another disappointment with Akhanda 2. The fantasy action thriller is nearing its saturation at the box office, but it has not even recovered 50% of its big budget. Boyapati Srinu’s directorial is also inches away from becoming the 4th highest Telugu grosser of 2025, but is it too late? Scroll below for the day 22 update! How much has Akhanda 2 earned in India? According to Sacnilk, Akhada 2 earned only 15 lakhs on day 22. It suffered a 50% drop compared to 30 lakhs garnered on New Year’s Eve. The word-of-mouth is negative, which is why the footfalls aren’t improving despite the holiday season. There’s little hope left as it is relying on the home ground Telugu to mint moolah while adding minimal collection from the Hindi belt. The theatrical run has already concluded in the Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada versions. The total box office collection in India stands at 93.30 crores in …
