Thandel Box Office Overview on Day 10
Thandel, a romantic drama featuring popular actors Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, has made significant waves at the box office. On its 10th day in theaters, the movie earned an impressive ₹3.24 crore. This amount coincided with its second Sunday of release, indicating a strong audience interest.
Total Earnings
As of now, Thandel has garnered a total of ₹57.19 crore in India. The film had a promising start, earning ₹11.5 crore on its opening day, February 7. However, it faced some challenges shortly after. By the first Monday, February 11, the earnings dropped dramatically by 64.71%, making it difficult for the film to regain its momentum in subsequent weeks.
Worldwide Earnings
Thandel’s performance extends beyond Indian theaters. By the end of its 10-day run, the film’s worldwide earnings reached a substantial ₹74.25 crore. This includes approximately ₹11 crore collected from international markets, while domestic earnings stood at ₹63.25 crore.
Is Thandel Naga Chaitanya’s Biggest Hit?
Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi previously collaborated on the hit film Love Story, which received widespread acclaim. Notably, Thandel outperformed Love Story on its opening day, surpassing its earnings of ₹10.50 crore. Currently, it seems to have become the biggest hit of Naga Chaitanya’s career. Since 2022, he has faced some challenges at the box office; his last film, Custody, was disappointing, with lifetime earnings of only ₹20 crore.
Future on OTT Platforms
Fans of Thandel can look forward to its release on the OTT platform Netflix. Although an official confirmation is yet to be announced, reports suggest that the film could be available for streaming by March 2025. This move to digital platforms will likely help the film reach a broader audience, especially those who missed its theatrical run.
Cast and Crew
Thandel features a talented ensemble cast, including:
- Naga Chaitanya
- Sai Pallavi
- Prakash Belawadi
- Divya Pillai
- Rao Ramesh
- Karunakaran

The film is directed by Chandu Mondeti and produced by Bunny Vasu under the Geetha Arts banner. There is optimism that Thandel could enter the coveted ₹100 crore club, marking it as a significant success for the team behind it.
Music and Popularity
The movie’s soundtrack has played a vital role in its popularity. Songs like "Bujji Thalli" and "Highlessa Highlessa," composed by Devi Sri Prasad, have gone viral on social media, further boosting the film’s visibility and engagement with audiences.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Thandel has had a rollercoaster ride at the box office but has certainly made an impact in its short journey thus far. With steady earnings and a strong following, it appears to be carving a niche for itself in Telugu cinema. As the film gears up for its eventual OTT debut, fans and followers await further developments while the current box office performance continues to impress.
