Netizens' reaction to Akhanda 2

Post the release of the film, netizens took to X to share their opinion. One user wrote, "Akhanda 2 is a 3-hour torture. Brain-dead writing, cringe dialogues, and Balayya's OTT roaring. Directionless screenplay, cheap VFX, and zero logic. Thaman's BGM is the only relief. Total disaster. Save money and sanity!"

Another user wrote, "Revised Akhanda today. Decidedly ruined my day by watching this film. From the start, I felt it as artificial scenes and artificial reactions of the people in the film. Only the last 45 minutes of the film caught my attention since its narrative is so good. Thaman's BGM."
