Review

The Akhanda movie got positive reviews from critics and audiences. Nearly 20k People rated this movie 7.1 stars on IMDb, which are positive review from audiences. Neeshita Nyayapati from The Times of India rated this movie 2.5 stars and said “Akhanda is the kind of entertainer that’ll work strictly for Balakrishna’s fans because anyone looking to just kill time over a tub of popcorn might leave exhausted. Seeing as how it has been long since a star entertainer has hit the screens, time will tell if this is the film that drives back people to the theatres.

Ram Venkat Srikar from CinemaExpress rated this movie 2.5 stars and said “There’s a funny dialogue in the film. “You punish the evildoer by confining him in a cell, I punish by sending him to hell,” Akhanda Sikanda Rudra Agora fiercely says. Boyapati’s Akhanda takes it too seriously.
