About Thandel
Directed by Chandoo Mondeti and produced by Bunny Vasu under Geetha Arts, Thandel is inspired by a real-life incident where fishermen from Srikakulam accidentally drifted into Pakistani waters while fishing near Gujarat. The film features Prakash Belawadi, Aadukalam Naren, Karunakaran, and Kalpalatha in pivotal roles alongside Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi.
Box Office Success
Despite mixed reviews from critics and audiences, Thandel proved to be a major box office success. According to Sacnilk, the film collected ₹88.25 crore worldwide, with ₹65.49 crore coming from the domestic market. However, the makers claim it has surpassed ₹100 crore globally. On February 16, Thandel’s official social media page announced that the film had grossed over ₹100 crore, calling it a “blockbuster love tsunami” and releasing new promotional posters. This marks Naga Chaitanya’s first-ever film to enter the ₹100 crore club, a significant milestone after his previous films Thank You and Custody underperformed.

The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, along with Ravi Dubey and Sunny Deol in key roles.
