Nandamuri Balakrishna's recent release, Akhanda 2: Thaandavam, had a strong domestic opening weekend. While the film grossed Rs 60 crore nett (gross minus taxes) in India in three days, it quickly surpassed the Rs 100 crore mark overseas and is still going strong. The film's long theatrical run will be determined by its performance in theatres during the weekdays.
