一 |     The box office collections of Balakrishna's latest release, Akhanda 2, saw a huge drop on Monday. The Boyapati Srinu directorial may face a litmus test at the ticket window, and as expected, Akhanda 2 underperformed on the first Monday. The film reportedly collected Rs 5.1 crore on the fourth day, taking the overall tally of film’s collections to Rs 66 crore (net) in India. So far, the film’s strong weekend performance underlines Balakrishna’s massive fan following and his ability to pull audiences to theatres. But Akhanda 2 fumbled on its first Monday, nearly completing its major theatrical run. As a result, Balakrishna had reportedly shifted focus on to his next ambitious project.          Balakrishna to turn singer     Balakrishna reunites with director Gopichand Malineni, marking their second outing together after delivering a successful Veera Simha Reddy earlier in 2023. This time, the duo is stepping into a completely different zone, as the upcoming project is said to be a grand period drama. The film promises to showcase Balakrishna in a powerful and regal avatar, backed by a rich narrative and large-scale presentation. Adding to the excitement, Nayanthara has been finalized as the female lead, making this pairing one of the most talked-about combinations in recent times. Her presence is expected to bring both star value and emotional depth to the story. According to industry buzz, Balakrishna will also be lending his voice for a special song in the film, a move that has already generated excitement among fans.          Grand sets under construction     Balakrishna-Gopichand film is being mounted on a massive scale, with special grand sets currently being built to recreate the period setting. From lavish sets to detailed costumes and grand action sequences, the film aims to be a visual spectacle. With a reported budget exceeding Rs 100 crore, the makers are leaving no stone unturned to ensure high production values. With Akhanda 2 turning out to be a disappointing outing, Balakrishna is determined to strike back at the box office with vengeance. But for now, his fans are thrilled that he will sing a special number.Also Read: Akhanda 2 Collections: Balakrishna’s Film Registers Promising Box Office Haul of Rs 61 Crore。    The automotive experts at Edmunds test SUVs of all shapes, sizes and prices. During these evaluations, certain models rise to the top with qualities such as roomy seating and cargo areas, a comfortable ride, and easy-to-use touchscreens and technology features. But with many prospective buyers looking to make every dollar count, it’s important to consider value as well.Working with a budget cap of $40,000, Edmunds picked five SUVs to highlight. Some have city-friendly proportions that take the stress out of parking in tight spots, while others have cavernous cargo holds and handy third-row seating. They are listed below in order of price, which includes the destination charge.2024 MAZDA CX-50The Mazda CX-50 small SUV earns a spot in this list thanks to its driving refinement and upscale cabin. From inside it’s not hard to believe that you’re behind the wheel of a luxury-badged model. The design is first-rate and the seats are supportive in either row. The CX-50 rides a bit more firmly over bumps than other SUVs, but in return it has stable handling and is enjoyable to zip around town in or take out on a scenic drive. All-wheel drive is standard on every trim, as are driver assist features such as lane keeping assistance, traffic-adaptive cruise control and blind-spot warning. A 186-horsepower four-cylinder serves as this Mazda’s capable and budget-minded base engine. There’s an optional turbo four-cylinder that’s more powerful, but it nudges the price at or above a $40,000 spending limit.Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price: $31,6752023 KIA SORENTOThe Kia Sorento is a compelling choice for shoppers wanting a low-priced seven-passenger SUV. Its third-row seating area is smaller than those of bigger models — such as the Hyundai Palisade listed below — but it is still suitable for occasional use for kids. Most of the Sorento’s trim levels come well stocked with helpful convenience and technology features.There is a choice of a fuel-conscious, non-turbocharged 191-horsepower four-cylinder engine or a punchier 281-horsepower turbo-four available in higher trims. And it’s possible to opt for the more powerful engine and keep the Sorento’s price well below $40,000. A Sorento Hybrid is also available for shoppers seeking higher fuel economy. Starting MSRP: $31,4152024 HONDA CR-VThe Honda CR-V is about as well rounded as a small SUV can get. It delivers a smooth and comfortable ride, great outward visibility, and loads of cargo space. Fuel economy is another plus point. The CR-V’s base 190-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder gets up to an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined, or you can opt for the 204-hp hybrid powertrain that gets up to 40 mpg combined. Thanks to its recent redesign for the 2023 model year, the interior of the CR-V is attractive and functional. Picking the midgrade EX-L trim stays under our budget limit and still gets you some upscale features such as leather upholstery, a power liftgate and a bigger center touchscreen. Starting MSRP: $30,8252024 SUBARU OUTBACKThe Subaru Outback is ideal for SUV shoppers who want a vehicle that’s suitable for occasional off-road adventures. Thanks to its standard all-wheel drive and generous ground clearance, the midsize Outback has above-average capability on dirt roads or rocky trails. The Outback’s wagon-like shape also makes it easier to load recreational gear or cargo on the roof.Acceleration from the Outback’s standard 182-horsepower four-cylinder can be slow when you need a burst of speed on the highway, but in exchange the Outback gets a respectable EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined. A more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder is also available, though it exceeds our budget cap.Starting MSRP: $30,1902024 HYUNDAI PALISADEThe three-row Hyundai Palisade is the most expensive SUV among Edmunds’ choices here, and the majority of trims are priced beyond a $40,000 budget. But it’s important to know even the base Palisade is equipped with a long roster of tech features and driving aids. Highlights include a big 12.3-inch center touchscreen, first- and second-row USB ports, traffic-adaptive cruise control and blind-spot warning.All Palisades come with a 291-horsepower V6 engine that delivers acceptable acceleration and fuel economy. Despite its relatively large size, the Palisade is relaxing to drive and easy to maneuver. Also worth noting is its third-row seating has ample space even for adults, which is a rarity among many midsize SUVs. Starting MSRP: $37,735_______This story was provided to The Associated Press by the automotive website Edmunds.Nick Kurczewski is a contributor at Edmunds and is on Twitter and Instagram。
