Akhanda 2 review: Logic yields to Balakrishna's divine action

Akhanda 2: Thaandavam amplifies the Boyapati-Balakrishna universe, where logic steps aside and divinity dominates. The film features Nandamuri Balakrishna as a trishul-wielding protector against national threats. Released on December 12, 2025, it blends mass action with devotional themes.

Akhanda 2: Thaandavam, directed by Boyapati Sreenu and starring Balakrishna, continues the signature style of the duo's collaborations. The review from India Today describes how the sequel elevates their universe into a space where rational logic fearfully retreats, allowing divine elements to take center stage. In this narrative, Balakrishna's character emerges as the nation's sole security force, armed with a trishul to combat threats.

The plot incorporates elements of Sanatana Dharma alongside a biowarfare storyline, featuring the character Janani and music by Thaman. It is positioned as a mass action devotional drama within Telugu cinema for 2025. Keywords highlight its focus on high-octane sequences and Balayya's commanding presence.

Released on December 12, 2025, the film has drawn attention for its unapologetic embrace of spectacle over subtlety, appealing to fans of the genre.

2026 is poised to be a landmark year for action cinema, featuring major releases like Ramayana, King, Dhurandhar 2, and Jailer 2. Following a lukewarm 2025 with flops such as War 2 and Coolie, these films could define the genre's future. Success might shatter box-office records, while failures could signal audience fatigue.

Filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli's upcoming action-adventure epic 'Varanasi' has set a global theatrical release for April 7, 2027. Starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film promises a sprawling story across continents and time periods. This follows the international success of Rajamouli's 'RRR,' which won an Oscar in 2023.
