Akhanda 2 Premiere Show Twitter Review: The Telugu fantasy action drama Akhanda 2: Thaandavam held its premiere shows in India on the night of December 11, ahead of its scheduled worldwide release on December 12, 2025. Directed by Boyapati Sreenu, the film is produced by Raam Achanta, Gopi Achanta, and Ishan Saksena under the banners of 14 Reels Plus and IVY Entertainment.
It serves as a sequel to the 2021 hit Akhanda, with Nandamuri Balakrishna reprising his central role alongside Samyuktha Menon, Aadhi Pinisetty, and Kabir Duhan Singh.
The film’s technical crew features music by Thaman S, cinematography by C Ramprasad and Santoshh D Detakae, and editing handled by Tammiraju. Other key contributors include AS Prakash for art direction, Vamsi-Shekar as PRO, and North India distribution managed by Zee Studios.
Premiere Show Audience Reactions
Following the premiere shows, social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), saw a flurry of initial reactions. Those who attended the early screenings shared their thoughts online, offering a first glimpse of how audiences are responding to the film ahead of its official release. Although full reviews are still pending, these posts are already generating early conversation and interest around the movie. A selection of these X posts is featured below as they are shared.
Akhanda 2 was initially slated for release on December 5, 2025. However, the premiere was delayed following a legal stay issued by the Madras High Court. The order came after Eros International filed a petition against 14 Reels Plus Entertainment over an unresolved financial dispute. The matter has since been cleared, allowing the film to proceed with its theatrical release on December 12.
The premiere screenings mark the first opportunity for audiences to experience the film in cinemas, and social media activity suggests a high level of engagement. While detailed critical reviews are yet to emerge, the posts from early viewers are already shaping the initial perception of Akhanda 2.
As the film prepares for its worldwide release on December 12, theaters across India and overseas are expected to see significant turnout, particularly given the anticipation surrounding Nandamuri Balakrishna’s return and the continuation of the story established in the 2021 original.
