Thandel is the most recent film featuring Naga Chaitanya, in which he had invested considerable expectations. For a duration of two years, he refrained from committing to any other projects, focusing solely on this romantic drama. Fortunately, the film premiered on February 14, 2025, and has successfully achieved remarkable success, being recognized as a significant blockbuster.

Thandel packs a punch on its second weekend

Chandoo Mondeti served as the director of this film, which experienced a remarkable performance at the box office over the weekend. According to the most recent reports, Thandel generated Rs 3.5 crore on Sunday, a notably impressive figure. The romantic drama accumulated a total share of Rs 6 crore throughout the weekend and has successfully entered the profit zone. Sai Pallavi portrayed the female lead in this production, which has now surpassed the Rs 60 crore share threshold.

The true challenge commences today as the weekdays begin. Nevertheless, with other releases such as Laila and Brahma Anandam underperforming at the box office, Thandel encounters no significant competition. This film marks Naga Chaitanya's inaugural entry into the Rs 100 crore club, and he is elated about this achievement, actively engaging in promotional activities for the film.

Thandel OTT rights details

Allu Aravind has successfully negotiated a substantial OTT agreement with Netflix, selling the digital rights for an impressive Rs 55 crore. With half of the film's budget recouped through these OTT rights and the theatrical release achieving a break-even point, distributors are experiencing significant profits.

A key factor contributing to the success of Thandel is the captivating chemistry between Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya. The production team is organizing a grand event in Hyderabad to commemorate the achievement of the Rs 100 crore milestone. Meanwhile, Naga Chaitanya is actively engaged in discussions regarding his upcoming project.

Devi Sri Prasad's highly successful soundtrack has played a significant role in the film's achievements, with each track becoming a major hit and driving a strong opening. Although the box office momentum is likely to diminish over time, it is yet to be determined how much additional revenue Thandel can generate in the days ahead.
