Situations after first and second wave of corona were completely different. While we saw several hits to blockbusters post first wave of covid, no solid blockbuster was delivered till date post second wave.
Nandamuri Balakrishna’s mass and action entertainer Akhanda is the first big-ticket movie to release, after second wave.
The film in the crazy combination of Balakrishna and Boyapati Srinu has been carrying enormous buzz and talk is positive among film circles and trade circles as well.
The film scheduled for release on December 2nd is sure to rake huge openings. But Akhanda’s result depends on how it performs, after its first week run.
Family audience didn’t show up as expected in recent times and industry too is hoping for the success of Akhanda.
Akhanda is the deciding factor indeed for films lined up for release in next couple of months and the film’s collections will define mood of the audience whether they are completely ready to come to theatres like earlier.
We have Nani’s Shyam Singha Roy and Allu Arjun’s Pushpa arriving in the month of December, while RRR is the first high budget movie to release in 2022.
If Akhanda turns out to be a blockbuster, filmmakers of upcoming movies will feel relaxed and they can plan accordingly for promotions.
Let’s hope, Akhanda will become a big blockbuster for the wellbeing of the industry!
