Thaman S Unveils Akhanda 2 Audio with Shiva Devotional Tracks

As the release of Akhanda 2 draws near (scheduled for December 5, 2025), the makers — led by actor Nandamuri Balakrishna (NBK) and director Boyapati Sreenu — dropped the full audio jukebox of the film, revealing a soundtrack drenched in devotion, energy and mythological grandeur.

Composed by Thaman S, the album includes eight powerful tracks — with titles like “Akhanda Thandavam,” “Gangadhara Shankara,” “Shiva Shiva,” “Hara Hara,” “Shankara Shankara,” “Shambho,” “Akhanda Haindavam,” along with the already-launched first single “The Thaandavam.”

The soundtrack is meant to echo the film’s intense mix of devotion and mass-action drama — something fans have come to expect from the director–actor–composer combination.

The Thaandavam: A Thunderous First Glimpse

The audio journey began with the release of the first single, The Thaandavam, premiered at a grand event in Mumbai. The track instantly created waves, blending frenetic rhythms with devotional chants and delivering what many are calling a “mass-devotional trance.”

Performed by veterans Shankar Mahadevan and Kailash Kher, the song channels the fierce and divine energy of Lord Shiva. Live performances at the launch event reportedly intensified this spiritual atmosphere, with chants like “Har Har Mahadev” and “Om Namah Shivaya” naturally flowing — realising a spiritual depth that sets the tone for the rest of the soundtrack.

Visually, the promo shows NBK in a striking “Aghora” avatar, performing a dramatic dance of divinity — enhancing the sense of mythic gravitas and theatrical power.

A Full Soundtrack That Celebrates Sanatana Energy

With the entire jukebox out, listeners now have access to an immersive soundtrack. According to reviews, the full album is a “spiritually driven soundtrack” — each song different yet tied together by its reverence to Lord Shiva and its attempt to fuse traditional hymns, Sanskrit-influenced lyrics and contemporary cinematic music.

Playback singers across the spectrum — from the classical and devotional to mass-appeal voices — contribute to the album: alongside Shankar Mahadevan and Kailash Kher, there are contributions from voices like the Sarvepalli Sisters, SP Charan, and other vocalists spanning different musical traditions.

Lyricists such as Kalyan Chakravarthy and Adviteeya Vojjala have used powerful, evocative language — weaving in references to divinity, cosmic energy, and ancient spiritual symbolism — to match the film’s mythological and devotional themes.

Why This Album Stands Out: Devotion, Drama & Mass Energy

What distinguishes this soundtrack from a regular film album is its commitment to devotional intensity. Instead of just background songs or light romance / dance numbers typical to mainstream cinema, the Akhanda 2 album leans deep into spiritual atmosphere — something that resonates for fans of mythological or “mass-devotional” cinema.

With heavy percussion, Sanskrit chants, layered vocal harmonies and a soundtrack aimed at evoking both reverence and high-octane cinematic drama, Thaman S appears to have crafted one of his more ambitious “divine trance” albums. Critics and fans alike are calling it a high-voltage soundtrack that could become a defining part of the film’s identity.

For audiences — especially those drawn to cultural myth, devotional energy, or powerful cinematic music — the release of this soundtrack offers a way to preview the film’s tone: one that is intense, spiritual, and larger-than-life.

What This Means for Akhanda 2 & Its Audience

With the full audio jukebox out ahead of release, Akhanda 2 has generated strong buzz — not just for its action or star power, but for its spiritual and cultural resonance. Fans of Shiva-themed cinema, devotional music lovers, and those who appreciate grand, myth-inspired soundtracks are likely to be especially drawn in.

Moreover, the blend of traditional hymns / slokas with contemporary mass-film scoring could make this album appealing beyond just Telugu-film fans — potentially reaching a broader audience across languages and regions, especially among those who appreciate devotional music or mythological themes.

In short: Thaman S’s soundtrack doesn’t just set mood for the movie — it elevates Akhanda 2 into a cinematic experience that promises to combine mythology, mass-action and spiritual energy.
