Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s Thandel is gearing up for release on February 7th, just two weeks away.
The big question is whether Thandel has enough buzz to deliver a surprise opening? As of now, it’s hard to say. While the film has been creating curiosity since its announcement—thanks to its unique backdrop and star-studded cast—the level of buzz remains uncertain.

The three released songs have worked decently, with none being disappointing. However, the lack of a chartbuster hook song, which often drives audiences to theaters, is a noticeable drawback.
The next crucial milestone for Thandel is the theatrical trailer, set to release on January 28th. If the trailer clicks with the audience, there’s no stopping Thandel from having a strong opening at the box office, especially in the U.S. However, much depends on the quality of the trailer cut.

If the trailer excites audiences and builds anticipation, the momentum will pick up quickly after January 28th.
Thandel has all the makings of a promising film, one that is best experienced on the big screen. It’s a crucial project for Naga Chaitanya and also for Sai Pallavi, who recently delivered a memorable performance in Amaran. A successful follow-up with Thandel could solidify her momentum.

For director Chandoo Mondeti, this is also a crucial film that needs to perform well, as he is coming back after a long gap.

Thandel is undoubtedly a film to watch out for.
