See I am not a Balakrishna fan. I hated his Jai Simha movie. You can see my review of it in imdb. So I was almost reluctant to see this movie. But after some of my colleagues reviews, I went to see the movie. I tell you one thing, this was truly the best of Balakrishna I have seen till date. I liked Samarasimha Reddy long ago and after that I felt that Balakrishna went downhill. But this one showed me that this sort of character...."Akhanda"! Only suits Balayya... I got goosebumps watching that character throughout. The BGM by Thaman was awesome. I was little bored with other Balayya's Murali character which looked like his old movies. But Boyapati managed to make me sit for a while and then came Akhanda and then I was glued to my seat. It was roaring and great. The double action role of Balakrishna was too good. He lived it in Akhanda. He made me happy, angry and emotionally involved in the movie throughout. The baggage of overaction fights we see in his old movies seem to be funny but in this movie it just looked stunning. It just suited him, as if it was made for Balakrishna. Great camera work and screenplay. Well done Boyapati Srinu garu. Thanks for this! This movie is a must watch for everyone not just Balakrishna fans. You will love it!
