Thandel Box Office Collection Day 5: Naga Chaitanya, Sai Pallavi Film Slows Down

Thandel Box Office: Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s Thandel has slowed down at the box office. Due to mixed critical reviews and decent buzz around the project, the Chandoo Mondeti film is managing to stay afloat despite competition from other titles. The 50-crore milestone appears closer after Day 5.

According to Sacnilk’s early estimates, Thandel pulled up a decent show, despite a drop in numbers. On Tuesday, the film collected Rs 3.50 crore. The total box office collection till now is Rs 44.35 crore.

Thandel draws inspiration from real-life events involving fishermen from Srikakulam. The story is about Raju (Naga Chaitanya) and Satya (Sai Pallavi). They’re in love since childhood. ‘Raju becomes Thandel (leader of the fishing boat) and ventures into the sea for several months. An apprehensive Satya asks Raju to stop fishing and lookout for a job on land. While Raju promises Satya, he later ventures into the sea. His boat accidentally enters Pakistan shores.’

After the release of Thandel, Naga Chaitanya’s father, superstar Nagarjuna tweeted, “Dear, @chay_akkineni, Proud of you my son! I have watched you push boundaries, face challenges, and give your heart to the craft. Thandel is not just another film—it is a testament to your relentless passion, your courage to dream big, and your hard work. To all the Akkineni fans—you have stood by us like family, and Thandel’s success is as much yours as it is ours. Thank you for your endless love and support! Gratitude.”

Thandel released on February 7 in theatres worldwide.
