Thandel, starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, has performed well up to now. After a solid start debut on the opening weekend, the film needed to take care of a stronghold on weekdays, however it faced an even bigger drop than expected. Still, it has fared well in the general collection and really soon, it should be Naga’s highest-grossing film on the Indian box office. Within the meantime, on day 5, it surpassed Venky Mama’s lifetime collection.
Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, the Telugu romantic motion thriller was released on February 7. It opened to mixed reviews from critics but among the many ticket-buying audience, word-of-mouth is decent. The music by Devi Sri Prasad is considered one of the strong pillars of the film and that has played a key role in attracting footfall up to now.
After a powerful opening weekend of 36.35 crores, Thandel dropped greater than expected on Monday and earned 4.50 crores. Even yesterday, on day 5, the film dipped a bit greater than expected and earned 3.60 crores, as per Sacnilk. This pushes the general tally to 44.45 crore net on the Indian box office. This collection is nice, but still, a number of work must be done.
Reportedly, Thandel‘s budget is 75 crores. So, it must earn 30.55 crores more to be secure. All eyes at the moment are on the way it performs today, tomorrow, and in the course of the second weekend. So, it’s still a wait-and-watch scenario for the biggie.
Meanwhile, the film has surpassed Venky Mama’s 42.70 crores. Today, it should surpass Thank You’s 46.56 crores, and in the course of the second weekend, it should surpass Bangarraju’s 49.61 crores. Currently, Bangarraju is Naga Chaitanya’s highest-grossing film on the Indian box office.
