Akkineni fans hoped that Akhil would create records for a debut film with ‘Akhil’. The movie has opened so well that it has set a new record for a debutante’s film. That’s about it!Akhil has seen a major fall from its second day and never picked up. Collections were disastrous even during the first weekend that Akhil has managed only about 17 crores share in its five day weekend.
The film is already into deficits and the collections trend on Monday will surely put the film out of theaters within no time. Akhil would end up below 20 crore mark says the trade which means Akkineni star failed to beat the record set by Ram Charan with Chirutha in 2007! Charan still holds full run record for a debut film and it is expected to be safe until Balakrishna’s son Mokshagna arrives.
Akhil’s show in overseas is even worse than the domestic business. The film has collected meager $162K by the end of Sunday which is no way relative to the money invested and the huge release across United States. Even Naga Chaitanya’s Dohchay, which was also a major disaster, collected $165K in its full run. This explains the magnanimity of Akhil’s failure.
