Thandel is Naga Chaitanya's latest film, one he had pinned a lot of hopes on. For two long years, he did not sign a single project and dedicated himself entirely to this romantic drama. Fortunately, the film, which hit the screens on February 14, 2025, passed the test with flying colors and has been declared a massive blockbuster.
Thandel packs a punch on its second wekend
Chandoo Mondeti directed this film, which had a fantastic weekend at the box office. As per the latest update, Thandel made Rs 3.5 crore on Sunday, a highly impressive number. The romantic drama earned a Rs 6 crore share over the weekend and has now entered the profit zone. Sai Pallavi played the female lead in this film, which has now crossed the Rs 60 crore share mark.
The real test begins today as weekdays set in. However, with other releases like Laila and Brahma Anandam failing at the box office, Thandel faces no competition. This marks Naga Chaitanya's first-ever Rs 100 crore film, and he is thrilled about this milestone, actively promoting the film.
Thandel OTT rights details
Additionally, Allu Aravind has secured a lucrative OTT deal with Netflix, selling the digital rights for a whopping Rs 55 crore. With half of the film's budget recovered through OTT rights and the theatrical release breaking even, distributors are seeing strong profits.
One of the major reasons behind Thandel’s success is the electrifying chemistry between Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya. The makers are planning a grand Hyderabad event to celebrate the Rs 100 crore milestone. On the other hand, Naga Chaitanya is already busy discussing his next.
Devi Sri Prasad’s chart-topping soundtrack has also contributed to the film’s success, as each song became a smash hit and fueled an excellent opening. While the box office momentum will eventually slow down, it remains to be seen how much more Thandel can rake in over the coming days.
