Can this small film stand its ground against the Akhanda 2 storm?

76
Finally, Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2 is hitting the screens tomorrow, with paid premieres scheduled for today (December 11). The biggie had to be postponed from December 5 to December 12 due to financial hurdles. With the release date suspense lingering till the last minute, Roshan Kanakala’s Mowgli 2025, which was initially set for a December 12 release, ended up taking the hit.
Mowgli 2025, directed by Sandeep Raaj, will now arrive on December 13, with paid premieres on December 12. Right now, all the attention in the Telugu states is centered on Akhanda 2, and it’s going to be an uphill task for Mowgli to pull audiences. Roshan Kanakala’s film will need strong reports to stand its ground against the Balakrishna starrer.
Akhanda 2 is a mass entertainer catering to a wide audience, while Mowgli is an intense romantic drama targeting youth. But if Mowgli’s content clicks, it can still make an impact at the box office. The team is banking on word of mouth to draw crowds to theatres. Let’s wait and see how things pan out.
