Mass Blockbuster and Balayya 1st 100 crore movie.
rosheenkan2 December 2021
Guys, don't listen to haters which give negative reviews. They are just Balayya trollers. The audiences is responding positively. The film is surely become blockbuster.

Positives: 2nd half, Thaman music and BGM and Balayya performance.

Negatives: Predictability and film runtime.

After the failures of Boyapati previous films (JJN and VVR), we hope the film might be blockbuster and first Balayya 100 crore grosser.

JAI BALAYYA!!!

Feast for balayya fans
potluripraneeth-561152 December 2021
First half was damn good, second half is bit dragging but director gave a very good message "Protect nature, nature protects you" Om namah shivaaya.

Too many action scenes in the second half, felt but exhausted with that many action sequences.

BAM AKHANDA
personalacc-8724723 January 2022
First of all, I hated NBK before watching this mixie I hated him more when he disrespected AR Rahman, I made fun of all his movies and his acting skills. But everything changed after Akhanda.

Despite the cringe love songs and scenes. This is a really well made film. The best one so far for NBK. Acting wise and screen presence was all good. There was no dumb dialogue in this film which was a really good point in this film. Overall a really good mass entertainer from Boyapati Sreenu. But movie wouldn't went so far if there was no THAMAN SS. This guy literally brought the movie to the next level. Every BGM gave me goosebumps. What a bgm. Loved every visual, it looked rich n well made. I'm a fan of NBK now!

Overall y'all can watch this movie again n again for the fight n interval scene. 8/10. Jai Ballaya.

Non Balakrishna Fan Here. Please go and watch it.
kasturigiridhar4 December 2021
I came with my father in law. He is Balakrishna fan. This is first time I came for Balakrishna movie. I will tell you this, this is well made movie. Yes lot of things fly including time. It was enjoyable for me. If you like me who read reviews and watch please go with your family, you will like it. Single theaters even better. PVR sorry this movie is not made for you. I loved it. Honest review. Infact I am anti mass movie, but I loved it this time. Really hat's off to director for such well made meaningful movie.

Superman, Hulk, Avengers or even Shaktiman bow down here. A God Level Mass Film that should have been screened in Heaven not Earth.
SAMTHEBESTEST23 January 2022
Akhanda (2021) : Brief Review -

Superman, Hulk, Avengers or even Shaktiman bow down here. A God Level Mass Film that should have been screened in Heaven not Earth. Recently, Milap Zaveri made a mass film called 'Satyamev Jayate 2', which had been panned by critics and audience for its outdated theories and over the top massy treatment. Believe me, when you finish watching the first half of Akhanda, even SMJ2 would look like a classic. You have no idea what's going on. You might even forget that it is 2021 and go back to the 70s or 80s or 90s, choice is all yours, and then Akhanda will make you remember the films of NTR, Big B, Dharmendra, Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi. Ok, so Halfway through it's a big torture, the same old story, same old action, same old illogical and over the top stuff. You could enjoy it if you loved SMJ2 or if you don't know even C of Cinema. Then comes Akhanda, the father of all superheroes and takes this film to God Level Mass Film as if lord Shiva himself was directing it. It goes on to touch that out-and-out mass zone no Indian director has ever reached. Be it Manmohan Desai, Rajkumar Santoshi, Rohit Shetty, SS Rajamouli or even the latest KGF sensation Prashanth Neel. Boyapati Srinu has used mass theories that these people haven't even dreamt of. However, there is one positive side of this, that it comes with a religious reference. If you believe Avengers and other Superheroes with Sci-fi theories then what's wrong in believing Akhanda for being utterly spiritual and devotional to the creator of all. You believe it and enjoy it, I too enjoyed it but that doesn't mean you can overlook other faults. Akhanda's character comes with that reference so it's easy to believe but what about others. What about the terrible first half? Oh wait, others are still part of the narrative and they aren't larger-than-life characters or aliens at all. Understand this difference because we live on Earth not heaven. Overall, an ignominious debacle saved by Lord Shiva.

RATING - 5/10*

Commercial entertainer and must watch!
anushac-971003 December 2021
The movie includes commercial elements which are entertaining. The movie delivers lot of good messages reachable to young generation. Don't try to find logic, but it's a good entertainer drives audience through mixture of emotions.

If you want to mess up your evening or you need a headache real bad - see this movie. I would not, recommend this movie to even my worst enemy.

The plot is week, there is no substance, just loud music and glorification of the lead actor. This movie was made just to please the lead actors ego. Worst movie, period.

Balayya's best movie till date!
freewebstennis12 December 2021
See I am not a Balakrishna fan. I hated his Jai Simha movie. You can see my review of it in imdb. So I was almost reluctant to see this movie. But after some of my colleagues reviews, I went to see the movie. I tell you one thing, this was truly the best of Balakrishna I have seen till date. I liked Samarasimha Reddy long ago and after that I felt that Balakrishna went downhill. But this one showed me that this sort of character...."Akhanda"! Only suits Balayya... I got goosebumps watching that character throughout. The BGM by Thaman was awesome. I was little bored with other Balayya's Murali character which looked like his old movies. But Boyapati managed to make me sit for a while and then came Akhanda and then I was glued to my seat. It was roaring and great. The double action role of Balakrishna was too good. He lived it in Akhanda. He made me happy, angry and emotionally involved in the movie throughout. The baggage of overaction fights we see in his old movies seem to be funny but in this movie it just looked stunning. It just suited him, as if it was made for Balakrishna. Great camera work and screenplay. Well done Boyapati Srinu garu. Thanks for this! This movie is a must watch for everyone not just Balakrishna fans. You will love it!

oora maasss ante edhe...100 crore asset
ravichinnu-damineni4 December 2021
So what do you expect from a mass combination. Don't be soo logical when oora mass has entered box office .. enjoy the mass elevation.

Oora mass BGM of the Tollywood and sure shot 100 crore movie of Nandamuri Bala Krishna.

My 4 star strictly goes to stunt artists
theekkolli23 January 2022
I fast forward to watch the action sequences from this movie.

So every time hero and villains mouth their dialogues I forward to next scene and next scene to watch next action scenes.

Thanks to Disney plus Hot star.

I m not bothered to say how bad every single actors done their job in this movie .

NBK and heroine scenes are the most cringe. Seems father daughter romancing. Again I did forward most.

Twin brother akhanda looks older than the other,maybe Bcz akhanda stays in cave and not getting enough sunlight.

Akhanda mum looks like his wife or his younger sister.

They were all doing their best to perform their best worst acting. It's a cringe festival of acting job and sequences.

Now come to my 4 star rating. All the stunt men done their job extraordinary. How they fly and fall .ofcourse they got their safety precautions. I know it doesn't make any sense.

NBK didn't move much. All the stunt men run towards him then fly around him. It's lot of fun.

I watched the entire movie in less than 50 minutes. It's a 2 hr 47 minutes. So only watched what I wanted.

Thanks again OTT.

Sorry for those who went to cinema hall to watch this migraine blast.

Mass Masala
IPyaarCinema22 February 2022
Review By Kamal K

Action packed block buster. NBK takes away the second half with his fantastic dialogue delivery. The theme of the movie is reminded in-between to show that science can't take over the nature and God owns it.

Feast for fans of NBK, to celebrate with pride. Srikanth is wonderful with outstanding performance, background music is superb.

How does Telugu audiences accept such crap
ravirangarajan2 December 2021
May be he is a senior actor, he should have to realize dat he's a senior citizen. In Akhanda, there is no logic at any point, even in lifting bolero nd fights, everything. Make sure follow logical basis story for the next movies.

Based on my view - 1.5/5 This would be much better rating ever for dis movie...

MUSCIAL RAPE TO EARS BY THAMAN
Artha12517 December 2021
Most interesting and best elevation visuals by Boyapati.

The main ingredient is Thaman BGM that has overridden the MANI SHARMA BGM. One of the best mass film from Balayaa sir in recent times, hope more movies for this combination. We loved it sir, thanks for the best entertainment.

Akhanda Aagamanam
sankeerthchanamolu2 December 2021
Enjoy the mass euphoria in theaters with terrific acting by balakrishna which was futher elevated by extraordinary RR from thaman. That trance interval and climax shiva shot demands special mention.

Bringing back people to cinemas.this movie team achieved it post covid from Indian cinema.
