About Thandel Movie
Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, Thandel follows the gripping story of a fisherman who accidentally crosses into Pakistani waters, setting off a dramatic chain of events. The film marks the second collaboration between Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi after their successful venture Love Story.
Released in Telugu, Hindi, and Tamil, the film features an ensemble cast including Rao Ramesh, Divya Pillai, and Prakash Belawadi. It opened with a solid ₹11.5 crore net in India on February 7 and is regarded as one of Naga Chaitanya’s biggest hits after facing several box office setbacks since 2022. While the movie has been released in multiple languages, its Telugu version has been the primary driver of its overall success.
Despite the recent drop in collections, Thandel continues to hold its ground at the box office. Will it maintain momentum in the coming days? Stay tuned for further updates!
