Two years after his Ruler hit the screens, Balakrishna is returning with his much-hyped Telugu film Akhanda. The film is directed by Boyapati Srinu, who had earlier helmed Balayya's movies like Simha and Legend.

Pragya Jaiswal has played the female lead in Akhanda in which Srikanth will be seen in negative roles. Shamna Kasim, Avinash, Subbaraju, Sravan, and others are part of the cast. Jagapathi Babu plays an important character. The film has C Ramprasad's cinematography and Kotagiri Venkateshwara Rao's editing.

Akhanda Movie Story and Review
The movie is produced by Miryala Ravinder Reddy on behalf of Dwaraka Creations.

S Thaman has composed the music and 'Adigaa' song has struck a chord with the listeners.

The movie is all about how an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva fights the evil forces. "When evil spreads its wings, Akhanda arrives," as per the teaser. Based on the promos, Balakrishna will appear in two avatars – one dhoti-clad look and Aghora's role.

Is he playing dual roles? The promos maintain suspense although it looks like a revenge saga.

The trailer and promos have impressed the audience. The success of Boyapati Srinu and Balayya's earlier movies has made fans keep high expectations of the flick. Will it live up to the expectations?

Idlebrain jeevi: Watched #Akhanda. NBK's magnetic mass presence, Boyapati's heroic elevations, Thaman's reverberating BGM and Ratnam's dialogues make this film a feast for the masses. It's a hattrick blockbuster for NBK- Boyapati combo. Only Boyapati in current gen can use NBK to fullest! Thumbs up

Venky Reviews: #Akhanda Decent 1st Half with Goosebumps interval!! Fire
Apart from the heroine sequences, everything else is pretty good. The intro and interval are one of the best action blocks in recent times.
Good setup for 2nd half! Thumbs up
#Akhanda A High Voltage Mass Entertainer!
Balayya as an aghora killed it. Action and BGM are top notch!
Herione scenes are boring and length could've been edited by 15 minutes.
Feast for Fans and Masses. Decent for the rest! Mass Jathara at BO FireOk hand
Rating: 3/5

@MusicThaman. Anna and itz Balayya babu show all the way....entire theater is enjoying with jai balayya chants...missed this kind of experience for long time...#Akhanda = Mass Feast....FireFire

Aakashavaani: #Akhanda First Half : NBK, Boyapati & Thaman delivered first rate output so far!! Good setup in first 10 mins and an equally good fight for hero entry with good dialogues, mass song, some drama and a terrific interval block, sums up first half.
