The official numbers are out, and Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s just-released romantic drama, Thandel, packed a solid punch at the box office across the world on the opening day. The film registered the career-best opening day gross for Naga Chaitanya.
On its day one, Thandel collected a whopping gross of Rs 21.27 crore at the ticket counters across the world. The impressive advance bookings for the Saturday and Sunday shows indicate that Thandel is set for a Rs 50 crore first weekend comfortably. The movie is inching towards the $500K milestone in North America. Until the latest updates, Thandel has sold over 227K tickets in 24 hours on the BookMyShow app, which is the highest among all Indian movies released this week.
Thandel is directed by Chandoo Mondeti and produced by Bunny Vas under Allu Aravind’s presentation. Devi Sri Prasad’s chartbuster soundtrack and background score, the endearing chemistry between Chay and Sai Pallavi, their soul-stirring performances, and a gripping drama together ensured the grand success of Thandel.
