In reality, the movie has received minimal attention from bollywood circles despite having zero promotions. However, what surprised many was the allegation made by certain users that the hindi version of akhanda made $7 crores on its first day of release. Even though this number is entirely phoney, balayya fans will go bonkers over it. Opening the booking portals of national multiplexes reveals right away that there is not even 5-10% occupancy on Saturday, which explains why the movie never earns the in-circulation amount of 7 crores.
Particularly in the North, there is a #BoycottGang that like akhanda a lot and speaks frequently about it on social media. The movie, despite being supported by a major producer, did not succeed in making as much money as Kantara and karthikeya 2 because the first half of the movie lacks a heavenly connection. It also lacks effective promotion. The hindi version of akhanda may not even find a spot in theatres as of Monday.
