The business of "Akhil: The Power of Jua", which opened to a superb response, has been affected by Salman Khan's "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" (PRDP) at the box office on the second day.
Released in 1,100 theatres on 11 November, "Akhil: The Power Of Jua" packed a solid punch on its opening day. Having recorded 90% occupancy, the movie grossed Rs 10.10 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (AP/T), Rs 5.50 crore in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and the rest of India, and Rs 86 lakh overseas, totalling Rs 16.46 crore.
"Akhil: The Power of Jua" received mixed responses by viewers. VV Vinayak's poor scripting and execution failed to impress them. Fortunately, Akhil's amazing performance compensates for all the negative factors; his dance and action thrill viewers.
Trade experts had predicted that word of mouth would take a toll on its business on Thursday, apart from the impact from "Prema Leela", the Telugu version of "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo". As predicted, the film had a steep decline. Andhra Box Office tweeted, "#AkhilThePowerOfJua Drops Considerably On 2nd day. A worrying trend for the Distributors. #Akhil".
As per early estimates, the Akhil Akkineni and Sayesh Sehgal starrer witnessed a drop of around 65% in collection on Thursday, when compared to its opening day. "Akhil: The Power of Jua" has grossed approximately Rs 4 crore at the AP/T box office on the second day. The film has fetched around Rs 2.50 crore to the distributors of these areas.
