While Akhanda won the hearts of the audience, it seems that Akhanda 2 couldn’t impress fans. Instead, the audience who watched the film called it a “3-hour torture.” “#Akhanda2 is a 3-hour TORTURE! Brain-dead writing, cringe dialogues, and Balayya’s OTT roaring. Directionless screenplay, cheap VFX, and ZERO logic. Thaman’s BGM is the only ‘relief’. TOTAL DISASTER! Save money & sanity! 0/5,” wrote one frustrated X user.Take a look at the reviews here:

Expected more but Akhanda range ni match cheyalekapoyindi… Thaman loud BGM here and there seems ok. Overall avg mv (Done with Akhanda 2. Except for 2-3 scenes, the rest is boring. The first half till the interval is boring. Expected more, but it could not match Akhanda. It’s average overall).”
