After a steady theatrical run and plenty of chatter among fans, Akhanda 2: Tandavam is finally gearing up for its digital debut. The film, led by Nandamuri Balakrishna, is now set to reach a much wider audience through OTT, ending weeks of speculation around its streaming plans.

Directed by Boyapati Srinu, Akhanda 2: Tandavam hit theatres on December 12 after a brief delay from its original December 5 release date. Marketed as a pan-India release, the film opened to mixed critical reviews but managed to draw crowds, largely driven by Balakrishna’s screen presence and the film’s strong spiritual undertones.

According to industry buzz, Netflix has secured the digital streaming rights for Akhanda 2. The film is expected to start streaming from January 9, with an official announcement likely in the coming days.
Once it lands online, all eyes will be on how the film performs with OTT viewers, especially given its strong fan following and repeat-watch appeal.
Box office performance so far
Despite the mixed reviews, Akhanda 2 has delivered a respectable box office performance. The film has reportedly grossed around ₹121 crore worldwide in 22 days, with a distributor share of approximately ₹70 crore. For a mass entertainer released amid stiff competition, these numbers underline Balakrishna’s continued pull at the box office.
Cast, performances and music
Balakrishna once again steals the show, especially in his intense Aghora avatar, which has been widely discussed among fans. Aadhi Pinisetty appears in a mysterious antagonist role, adding intrigue to the storyline. Samyuktha Menon plays the female lead.
Music by S Thaman stands out as a major highlight, with background scores that elevate the film’s high-voltage moments.
