Thandel is the first notable release from Tollywood in February 2025. Starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles, the film is inspired by a few real-life incidents that happened to Matchelesam fishermen. The promotions are in full swing, with the team giving interviews, visiting prominent cities, and participating in events.
The latest information is that the Thandel team has applied for ticket rate hikes in Andhra Pradesh. The romantic drama is likely to get a hike of Rs. 50/- from the NDA government, which has been film industry-friendly. The reports suggest that the movie will not have any hikes in Telangana.
To be in the safe zone, this PAN Indian film needs to achieve about Rs. 40 crores share worldwide. Due to its chartbuster songs, there is good hype around Thandel, and if word of mouth is positive, the breakeven target is very much achievable. Bunny Vas produced Thandel, and Devi Sri Prasad composed the tunes.
