Srinu's

has
been
making
quite
a
buzz
at
the
theatres.
Upon
its
release
on
December
2,
the
film
garnered
a
terrific
response
from
the
audiences,
with
many
praising
the
storyline
and
performances
of
the
cast,
especially
the
leading
man
Nandamuri
Balakrishna.
The
film
has
turned
out
to
be
a
profitable
venture
for
the
makers
and
has
already
crossed
the
break-even
point.
Well,
the
second
weekend
is
crucial
for
the
film,
as
only
a
few
screens
will
be
reserved
for

so
far
collection
at
the
box

the
film
is
said
to
have

more
than
Rs
1
crore
from
the

office
on
day
10
(Saturday),
which

50
crore.
Though
the
film
started
off
its
theatrical
journey
with
a

the
film
has
already
grossed
more
than
Rs
95
crore
with
its
theatrical
run
worldwide
and
is
expected
to
strike
Rs
100
crore
in
a
couple
of
days.
Talking
about
Akhanda's
cast
and
crew,
the
Balakrishna-starrer
has
