Akhanda movie review: Balakrishna punches goons, this film punches audience
A khanda is a true-blue Boyapati Sreenu film. This is neither a criticism nor an appreciation; I’m merely stating a fact. Ever since his debut with Bhadra, Boyapati has refused to evolve as a storyteller. What has changed, though, is the way his barbaric villains mercilessly murder dozens of junior artists. With Akhanda, Boyapati has reached a new high in savagery: A hospital where sick children are being treated explodes, a truck runs over dozens of poor men, some more men are set on fire, an entire community of labourers is gunned down. Well, what’s so surprising, you may ask.
There have been several gory sequences involving mass murders in the director’s filmography. Legend, for instance, had a scene where four dozen fishermen are stabbed and diced; an equal number of background artists are killed in Sarrainodu, Simha, Vinaya Vidheya Rama, so on and so forth. In Akhanda, though, all the sequences of sadism play out in a span of 10 minutes. There’s no stopping an uncaged Boyapati Sreenu in Akhanda.
His conviction to execute the most insane of his ideas is a lesson for future filmmakers. Picture this: hundreds of goons equipped with all the weaponry from Telugu masala films godown - from machine guns to axes and even chilli powder - have to kill Balakrishna’s Akhanda Sikandar Rudra Aghora (that’s his name), who is in the middle of a prayer devoting his undivided attention. Yet they miserably fail and how! That’s what I call conviction. That’s what I call taking the audience for granted. If the callousness towards the audience’s intellect and the recklessness towards storytelling wasn’t outrageous enough, Thaman’s loud... I mean, LOUD score is the trishulam to our ears. But, why am I questioning the decibel levels in a Boyapati film?
In between the bloody, gravity-defying stunts, there is a semblance of a story. One fine day an extremist named Gajendra Sahu kills a faithful guru and takes his spot as a godman to conjure the world. The same day a couple in Rayalaseema are blessed with twins. On the same day, Jagapathi Babu, who plays a sadhu, warns the father to let go of one of the kids because one of the infants would be destruction personified, while the other is the personification of nature. Usually, this means one of the twins is timid while the other is the wild type. But here both of them are equally violent with innovative methods to decimate their opponents. So why even estrange them? Again, why am I questioning logic in a Boyapati film?
It’s almost impossible to objectively analyse a film like Akhanda, considering how mind-numbingly dumb it is. But what can you do if that’s the film the filmmaker wanted to make. While Boyapati succeeds in what he sets out to do, the ultimate loser is of course... us. Of course, we signed up knowing the film will be loud, crass, violent, and more importantly, senseless. What surprised me, however, is the level of all these attributes. The villains in Boyapati films are cruel, and in Akhanda, it is the turn of Varadharajulu (played by Srikanth Meka, who made a career out of playing soft and kind roles) to do the needful. There is no dearth of crudeness, but here, they really start bothering you after a point: a mother is raped in front of her child and I see no point for such a sequence to exist. I think it’s shameful that filmmakers in 2021 keep using rape as a device to “infuriate” the hero. What’s funnier is the fact that Srikanth is not even given the “main villain” status. Again, why am I even questioning the writing choices in a Boyapati film?
If there’s one thing Boyapati has learned from the failure of his previous outing, the subdued superhero film Vinaya Vidheya Rama, it’s that you never play it subtle. In Akhanda, Boyapati makes his hero a proper superhero, err, God, this time. In a scene where Akhanda Sikandar Rudra Aghora hits a guy, we see a goon’s soul exiting the body and as he falls back, the soul and body meet. Likewise, he can touch a human and see their past. I wish Boyapati explored this angle deeper, it could have been a fitting answer to Unbreakable. We have a heroine as well, played by Pragya Jaiswal, and in tradition with Boyapati-isms, she is hailed as an “inspiration” for the young women, and then this is immediately followed by a crude scene involving a seatbelt. Perhaps the only character who gets a proper arc is a local goon who is reformed by Murali Krishna (also Balakrishna) early in the film. Again, why am I trying to analyse the craft of a Boyapati film?
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 Aghora fiercely says. Boyapati Sreenu’s Akhanda takes it too seriously.

Akhanda movie review: For better or worse, this is everything you expect from a Nandamuri Balakrishna-Boyapati Srinu film
Akhanda is a film where a human bone breaks and it makes the sound of a plastic bottle being crushed. Everything is deliberately loud and glib.
Language: Telugu
For most of us, one Bala Krishna is more than enough. Not for Boyapati Srinu, though. It has been that way with all the three films they’ve collaborated on. It’s either that his screen presence is way too potent to fit into a single character, or he is half as charismatic as he used to be, so the viewer needs two of them to not notice the difference. In Akhanda , too, he creates two characters for the actor. But he abandons one, Murali Krishna (Bala Krishna), as soon as the character is done laying the path for the entrance of Akandha (Bala Krishna) , an aghora , who is the heir-apparent of Lord Shiva.
It is interesting to see a film that uses twins this way; one character as an exposition device and the other as resolution. What about the 2nd act, the central conceit, you might ask. Well, the lack of conceit or the repetitiveness of it is the film’s conflict–the second Bala Krishna enters and looks the same way he does in Legend . Can we watch the same film again and again, with a few changed parameters? Can a head-splitting BGM distract the viewer from the fact that the film’s second half is just a lengthy fight sequence? Watch the film to find out.
Inside a palatial home in Anantapur, a woman is sleeping after giving birth to twin boys. The father takes them to a swami (Jagapathi Babu) to seek his blessings. The swami is pleased by one of them and calls the other pralayam (destruction). When asked by the father to get rid of the child, he puts him in an alms bag of another swami, who is going to Varanasi. The child who isn’t abandoned grows up to be Murali Krishna, who is all things good. He wants to eradicate factionalism, violence against women, and save the planet from misuse–Telugu cinema hero’s trivial trifecta. He is soon stopped from living his best life, as bad people are aplenty in the cinematic world of Boyapati.
When the film is all but ending, an investigative officer from New Delhi asks Akhanda, ‘Meru maala manishi kaadha?’ (Aren’t you a human, like us?) ‘Never’, Bala Krishna replies in his signature manner. That made me laugh, but to everyone else chanting ‘Jai Balayya’ it was a rousing moment. You can never tell with a Bala Krishna performance; whether you are supposed to be moved by it or laugh at it. Having said that, he is great as this god-like man who is killing people left and right, bad CGI be damned. M. Rathnam’s dialogues are appropriately over-the-top and fun too. Pragya Jaiswal plays Saranya, an IAS officer, who is enamored by Murali Krishna and later marries him. She is relatively well-written and Pragya carries her well. Do we see her do collector-y things? Don’t be ridiculously greedy. Of course, we don’t.
If Boyapati can be seen through the lens of an auteur, reckless violence would be his trademark. Srikanth plays a businessman who likes the feel of warm blood between his fingers. He is appropriately towering and scary to look at, but the effect wears off. The film spends so much time elevating a godman, Gajendra, but, in the later parts of the film, he looks clueless. In any other film, the hero’s eventual loss of invincibility and possible death is what keeps things interesting for the viewer. But Akandha ’s titular character is a man who cannot be destroyed. So, the viewer develops a robotic detachment with the proceedings knowing well that the hero will come out of it unharmed. Commerical or otherwise, it is just bad cinema.
The film begins with a military operation. When an officer finds the man they are looking for and calls it in. Instead of acting on the information, the commander starts telling the officer who this man is and why he must be caught. Meanwhile, the criminal kills them all and escapes. As far as exposition goes, that’s a very bad start. One doesn’t go into a film like this expecting technical prowess. Even so, I was taken aback by the clumsy writing. The women in the film are just there to justify the hero’s violence. First, they put her through unspeakable horror, and use that as an occasion for brutal heroism. You can’t even complain because that is, apparently, empowerment. No one quite abuses consequentialism the way a commercial filmmaker does. Not to forget the herds of people killed for the sake of an emotional punchline that never quite hits you where it is supposed to.
In this world, a seatbelt can be used to give a message while also being a sexy thing that segues into a song. A world of possibilities where time and space are mere suggestions. A man who is supposed to be in Kasi will appear in time to help someone in Ananthapur. Bala Krishna will stand in the foreground, complimenting someone in the background, and even if he points his finger in the opposite direction of where the man is, the viewer will understand who he is talking about. No one in the film is named Balayya, but the film will have a song titled ‘Jai Balayya’ because who is stopping them?
The film released in theatres on 2 December 2021.

Akhanda Reviews
It may look like that the film is pro-progress and pro-rationality, but [Boyapati's] characters' actions are anything but.
Full Review | Apr 1, 2022
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.

It has been quite some time since we have seen Balayya in a mass role. He is now back with Boyapati’s Akhanda. The film has been released today and let’s see how it is.
Murali Krishna(Balakrishna) is a well-known people’s man in the faction-ridden Anantapur district. Things get problematic in his area when a mine owned by Varadarajulu(Srikanth) creates massive problems for the poor. Murali Krishna takes on Varadarajulu but gets arrested sadly. When the goons create more havoc with Murali Krishna’s family, Akhanda(Balakrishna as Aghora) enters the scene to save everyone. Who is this Akhanda? What is his background? and how he saves everyone is the story of Akhanda.
Plus Points:
It has been a long time since the fans have seen Balayya in a powerful avatar and to their happiness, Boyapati Sreenu provides them a full meal by showcasing Balayya in a never-before-seen avatar in a double role.
Balayya does full justice to his roles but it is the character of Akhanda which the fans are going to love the most. Balayya as the Aghora is on another level in the film. Be it his screen presence, dialogue delivery, or intense look, Balayya is solid and impresses one and all.
One of the biggest assets of the film is Thaman’s BGM. If not for Thaman, the film would have not looked the way it did. Thaman’s BGM for all the elevation episodes is amazing. Pragya Jaiswal gets a good role and makes full use of it. Kalakeya Prabhakar is also neat as the ruthless cop.
Last but not the least, Srikanth is ferocious in the negative role. He surprises one and all with his screen presence and gives a good fight to Balayya. But his screen time is limited.
The first half is impressive and the way both the characters of Balayya are unleashed is just superb. The film is filled with several fan moments and the song, Jai Balayya is just the icing on the cake.
Minus Points:
Like in all Boyapati films, there is not much story in Akhanda. There are no basic twists and you exactly know what is going to happen next. The first half is quite long even though the fights are good.
The problem of Akhanda lies in its second half. Once the character of Akhanda makes an entry, there is no strong opposition to him. Balayya just keeps killing the goons and the novelty point is missing big time. A proper villain elevation would have made things even better.
The emotional angle is also missing a bit in the second half as the family and mother angle looks forced on the viewers. Too many fights in this half are also an issue. Though the fights are good, they look repetitive after a point here.
Technical Aspects:
As said earlier, Thaman has breathed life into the film with his work. Special mention to the way the fights have been choreographed. They give several adrenaline-pumping moments for the fans.
Dialogues are of typical Boyapati style and the way Balayya mouths them is also superb. The dances, lyrics, and costumes of Balayya are also good. However, the film can easily be chopped off for at least ten minutes to make things crisp.
Coming to the director Boyapati, he has lived up to the hype created and has given fans what they were missing. He wrote two powerful characters for Balayya and showcased him superbly. If he would have had an even stronger conflict point in the second half, the output would have been better. Though he went overboard with the logic and fights in his last film, he has taken care of those errors here.
On the whole, Akhanda is a feast for hardcore fans and Balayya gives them ample moments to cherish with his stunning act. The story is dull and violence in the second half is in excess. Akhanda is a kind of film that the class audience might have issues with. But as it has been a long time since a biggie has come out in theatres, the masses will surely lap it up as Akhanda is filled with Balayya’s mass masala avatar like never before.

'Akhanda' Review: Routine Roars In High Volume
Movie: Akhanda Rating: 2.5/5 Banner: Dwaraka Creations Cast: Nandamuri Balakrishna, Pragya Jaiswal, Srikanth, Jagapathi Babu, Poorna, Kalakeya Prabhakar, Subbaraju and others Dialogues: M Rathnam Music: Thaman DoP: C Ram Prasad Editor: Kotagiri Venkateshwara Rao, Tammiraju Art: AS Prakash Producer: Miryala Ravinder Reddy Story, screenplay, and direction: Boyapati Sreenu Release Date: Dec 02, 2021
The combination of Nandamuri Balakrishna and director Boyapati Srinu is one of the most successful in the Telugu film industry. They have teamed up for the third time for this high intense action entertainer, Akhanda. Amidst much hype, the film hit theaters today.
Has the duo delivered a hat-trick of success? Let’s find out.
Story: Muralikrishna (Balakrishna) is a good-natured man in Ananthapuram, who devotes his life to people and does a lot of development work in the region.
Impressed by his character, the new collector Sarwani (Pragya Jaiswal) falls for him. They get married and are blessed with a girl.
Due to the local mining mafia leader Varadarajulu (Srikanth), Sarwani and Murali Krishna land in a trouble. When Sarwani and her daughter are chased by Varadarajulu’s men, she runs into a cave to hide. She is rescued by a Sadhu named Akhanda (Balakrishna).
Who is Akhanda? What is the connection with Muralikrishna’s family?
Artistes’ Performances: Playing multiple roles is a cakewalk for Nandamuri Balakrishna. ‘Akhanda’ also shows two different shades of Balakrishna. He once again comes up with a riveting performance in the role of Akhanda. His getup is terrific. Some of his dialogues are powerful, others sounded routine. The entire second-half runs on Akhanda’s role.
Pragya Jaiswal is an IAS officer, but her character turns regular after a few scenes. She is hardly impressive.
Srikanth, for the first time in his career, has played the villain’s role convincingly. Jagapathi Babu as a Sadhu leaves his mark.
The actor who played the main villain is okay. So is Poorna.
Technical Excellence: M Ratnam has written dialogues that give mixed feelings. In Balakrishna's roaring voice, some sounded powerful.
C Ram Prasad's camera work is top-notch. Thaman’s songs are not worth talking about, but the background score is a major strength. His high-decibel score has elevated many episodes in the second half. He has designed a special theme for the ‘Akhanda’ character.
Major part of the film runs only on the action choreography. The fights look similar from beginning to the end. There is ample chance to design the fights in different styles and patterns. But that variety is not shown.
On the other hand, the dance choreography is impressive and fresh. Some steps in Jai Balayya song are worth to become viral.
Highlights: Balakrishna as Akhanda Thaman’s background score Dialogues
Drawback: Passable first half Overdose of mass sequences Lengthy and tiring action stunts The logic goes for a toss Routine climax
Analysis After mass entertainers “Simha” and “Legend”, director Boyapati in his third teaming up with Balakrishna has written a story that touches upon issues like illegal mining, protection of the environment, Hindu Dharma, etc. The topics might be new in Boyapati’s film, but the treatment is familiar.
In fact, Boyapati has followed the template of the narrative he has shown in his previous works like “Legend”: the hero in a dual role, a character who does not appear in the first half comes right at the interval point and takes the charge. In ‘Legend’, it was the role of Jaidev, here it is ‘Akhanda’.
What is the other difference between “Legend” and “Akhanda”?
The former has a couple of killer songs like “Nee Kanti Choopulonaa” and “Legend He’s Legend”, an engaging romantic track with two heroines and a menacing villain played by Jagapathi Babu. The latest “Akhanda” lacks all these elements.
There is a dialogue in the film: Once I decide on something, I meander like a bulldozer truck. True to the dialogue, director Boyapati Sreenu’s narrative goes on a rampage of one action scene after the other in the second half. The fights are lengthy and in a similar manner throughout. The pre-interval fight has a length of about 17 minutes.
Despite Balakrishna’s earnest and sincere effort to play an aging Sadhu, the film doesn’t escape the routine.
While Balakrishna tries playing to the gallery and appealing to his fans, the film is mostly unimaginative. The first character of Balayya doesn’t appear in the entire second half, except for a climax sequence
We never expect to see the logic in Boyapati’s movies. However, when we see the female protagonist as a collector, we expect her character to reflect some reality. What Pragya does as a collector is silly and unrealistic. Same goes for an NIA investigative officer.
In one of the fight sequences, Akhanda completes yagnam sitting calmly even with three axes stabbed in his back.
A few scenes, however, are exceptionally executed. Example: Akhanda – Poorna track, and Balakrishna explaining the true meaning of non-violence in Hinduism.
The film could have been gripping had the villain been strong. The face-off sequences between Balakrishna and Srikanth are tepid. Srikanth doesn’t have the menacing quality required for a villain. Nor is the main villain strong enough.
All in all, “Akhanda” is an out-and-out mass movie, which is embellished with some interesting moments here and there, but is largely formulaic and template of Boyapati’s movies. Dialogues and Balakrishna’s getup as Akhanda give goosebumps to his fans, but the lengthy fights, lack of entertaining moments, and disappointing climax make it a routine mass drama.
Bottomline: Only for Balayya fanatics

Akhanda Movie Review: Balayya's film is a battle between people who have the loudest roar
Director boyapati sreenu's akhanda is no different from his previous outings. bodies fly everywhere, balayya mouths rousing dialogues and bashes up goons in this commercial entertainer..
Listen to Story
Director Boyapati Sreenu has created his brand of cinema and they are films that require you to keep your brains at home. At this rate, even this statement sounds clichéd, right? That's how Boyapati Sreenu films are. There are two rules in his brand of cinema.
Rule No 1: Do not expect logic. The concept of time and gravity doesn't exist in his universe.
Rule No 2: You will still hear people roaring even after you step out of the cinema hall.
Now, let's get into Akhanda's story. During a rainy night, a woman gives birth to twins. A godman (Jagapathi Babu) senses that one of the twins has a duty to perform and gives him to a saint, who takes him to Kasi. He grows up to be Akhanda (Nandamuri Balakrishna AKA Balyya), a godman who cannot be touched by anybody or anything. In Boyapati's universe, anything means bullets, axes, knives and other weapons.
The other kid named Murali Krishna is a farmer who uses his money to help people. Saranya (Pragya Jaiswal) becomes the collector of the district, who falls in love with Murali Krishna. In a span of five minutes, over a song, they get married and have a kid.
Meanwhile, there's Varadarajulu (Srikanth), who, with the help of Gajendra (Niitin Mehta), are involved in illegal uranium extraction.
How the two Balayyas meet and fight for the good forms the crux of the story.
Sounds too much? No, not in Boyapati's universe. The character arc of Murali Krishna at first takes you by surprise. He doesn't believe in violence. But soon, you get a huge slap on your face for having high hopes. He uses violence to put the bad guys in place. Since he's a good man, a little violence can be exempted.
Like every Boyapati film, Akhanda has bodies flying everywhere, the hero bashing the goons left, right and centre and the heroines sidelined to cry and hype up the hero. In Akhanda, more than the supporting characters, it is the assistant directors and the technicians who would have had to work hard. The overuse of blowers and the smoke machine, tell us that.
This is Balayya's show all the way - especially the Akhanda version. In fact, even Murali Krishna takes a backseat when Akhanda comes on screen. From mouthing powerful and meaningful dialogues to teaching the villains the right lesson, he does everything with so much ease. But, do not ask how Akhanda came to Murali Krishna's village in such a short time. Remember rule No 1?
Akhanda is also a battle between people who have the loudest roar. The villains shout at a certain decibel level. And the hero overpowers. So much so that you hear them even after you've stepped out of the theatre.
Akhanda had a solid story underneath all the mass vehicle moments. But, in an attempt to glorify the hero, the story gets sidelined. While Pragya Jaiswal oversells her performance, other actors did deliver a decent performance.
Akhanda is a film that is strictly for Balayya fans. There are several moments that will make you cheer for him. But, that is it.
2 out of 5 stars for Akhanda.

Akhanda Movie Review. Nandamuri Balakrishna and Boyapati Sreenu's combination has become a hit sentiment to Balayya's fans with the previous two movies of the combo turning blockbusters. Simha and Legend were massive hits, and here comes the duo yet again with Akhanda. The trailer appeared powerful with Balayya in Akhanda look and locking ...

Akhanda is a sensible and deeply thoughtful movie about how some unscrupulous men exploit people's religious beliefs for petty gains. When the crimes of these men reach their peak, the universe conspires to bring an aghori from Kashi and the city-dwelling villain face-to-face, so the godman could defeat adharama (wickedness) and establish dharma (righteousness).
One is a do-gooder with super-human skills to bash people but just a little bit of vulnerability to shake his leg to fill the first half with songs and dance along with massy fights. There's a gruesome villain doing an illegal activity and is probably an extreme version of some real life political opponent of Balakrishna, the politician.

A Big Risk With Akhanda Remake. Article by Suman M Published on: 1:43 pm, 16 December 2021. Balakrishna's Akhanda collected 100 crore gross recently and heading towards becoming a bigger blockbuster. It is heard that the movie is already eyed by some B-town biggies who are planning to remake with one of the senior heroes there.
Language: Telugu. For most of us, one Bala Krishna is more than enough. Not for Boyapati Srinu, though. It has been that way with all the three films they've collaborated on. It's either that his screen presence is way too potent to fit into a single character, or he is half as charismatic as he used to be, so the viewer needs two of them to not notice the difference.

Akhanda: Directed by Boyapati Srinu. With Nandamuri Balakrishna, Pragya Jaiswal, Jagapathi Babu, Meka Srikanth. When the nefarious Varadarajulu plans to attack Murali Krishna, an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, Akhanda leaves no stone unturned to defeat the evil.
Akhanda Reviews. It may look like that the film is pro-progress and pro-rationality, but [Boyapati's] characters' actions are anything but. Full Review | Apr 1, 2022. Akhanda is the kind of ...
Akhanda is a kind of film that the class audience might have issues with. But as it has been a long time since a biggie has come out in theatres, the masses will surely lap it up as Akhanda is filled with Balayya's mass masala avatar like never before.
'Akhanda' also shows two different shades of Balakrishna. He once again comes up with a riveting performance in the role of Akhanda. His getup is terrific. Some of his dialogues are powerful, others sounded routine. The entire second-half runs on Akhanda's role. Pragya Jaiswal is an IAS officer, but her character turns regular after a few ...
In Akhanda, more than the supporting characters, it is the assistant directors and the technicians who would have had to work hard. The overuse of blowers and the smoke machine, tell us that. This is Balayya's show all the way - especially the Akhanda version. In fact, even Murali Krishna takes a backseat when Akhanda comes on screen.

Simha and Legend were massive hits, and here comes the duo yet again with Akhanda. The trailer appeared powerful with Balayya in Akhanda look and ...
If all goes well, on June 10th, on the eve of Balayya's birthday, the movie might get launched and will be going set in just a couple of months. For now, the whole of the closest units to Boyapati and Balayya are maintaining silence over the same. In case if the news of Akhanda 2 gets true, then surely it is going to be a blast.
That is nothing but the slow pace of those movies and the lack of drama as well as the adrenaline rushing moments. When a racy film like Akhanda is around, surely these slow movies don't get the needed attention and that is what happened. Had Akhanda suffered from a mixed talk, then these two films would have found some relief.
The film's trailer depicts a biographic style, and it has nothing to hide. The central theme of the movie is right open to everyone. Kartik's stunning physical transformation amazes everyone, and we have to see how he convinces as an actor in this as he takes up a different role in his career.
By this time, it has already become a never-ending discussion regarding the 'item girl' of "Pushpa 2" to feature in this thumping and sizzling dance number composed by Devi Sri Prasad.
