Akhanda 2 is getting very mixed early reviews, with strong praise from mass- action fans and harsh criticism from others.

What reviewers are saying

• Many early viewers call it a loud, high-voltage “mytho-mass” entertainer, praising Nandamuri Balakrishna’s electrifying screen presence, action sequences, and the scale of the climax, often rating it around 4–4.5/5 for fans of this style.

• These positive reactions highlight powerful background score, divine/mythological tone, and a second half packed with nonstop action and elevation scenes designed for theatre experience.

Main criticisms

• Some viewers and critics say the sequel has a weak, chaotic story, forced emotions, over-the-top loudness, and “zero logic,” with at least one early Hindi-language reaction calling it outright torture and giving it 0 stars.

• Negative takes argue that, compared with the first Akhanda, this part feels unnecessary and bloated, relying too much on noise and lengthy dialogues instead of a strong continuation of the original.

Should you watch it?

• If you enjoy NBK’s larger-than-life mass roles, devotional aura, and heavy-duty action, Akhanda 2 is being described as a must-watch big-screen experience tailored for fans.

• If you care more about tight story, logic, and subtlety, these early reviews suggest you may find it disappointing despite the scale and performance.
