Balayya’s Mass Streak: Five Films, One Solid Box Office Run

Nandamuri Balakrishna continues to prove his unmatched mass appeal at the box office with his latest release Akhanda 2: Thaandavam. Despite receiving a mixed response from audiences and critics, the film has managed to post impressive numbers in its opening week, once again underlining Balakrishna’s strong hold among mass moviegoers.
Within its first week, Akhanda 2: Thaandavam crossed the ₹60 crore share mark worldwide. This achievement is particularly significant as it marks the fifth time in Balakrishna’s career that one of his films has reached this milestone. What makes it even more remarkable is that these ₹60 crore share films have come back-to-back, a feat rarely seen among senior stars in Tollywood.
The film may not have fully lived up to the massive expectations created before release, but steady footfalls and strong mass centers have helped it sustain momentum at the box office. Trade analysts note that even with mixed talk, the film showed solid holding power during its first week, driven largely by Balakrishna’s fan base and the franchise value of Akhanda.
This recent success adds to Balakrishna’s ongoing box office run that began with Akhanda, followed by Veera Simha Reddy, Bhagavanth Kesari, and Daaku Maharaj. With Akhanda 2: Thaandavam, the actor has now created a rare record of delivering five consecutive films that crossed the ₹60 crore share mark, reinforcing his image as a reliable crowd-puller.
As the film enters its second week, all eyes are on how it performs amid new releases and weekday trends. Trade circles believe that if the film maintains a decent hold, it could further strengthen Balakrishna’s remarkable late-career resurgence. For now, Akhanda 2: Thaandavam stands as yet another example of Balayya’s enduring mass power at the box office.
