Thandel starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi is performing well at the USA box office. Despite a slow start in India, the film has already crossed $300K overseas and continues to gain momentum.

Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, Thandel is based on the real-life struggles of Chodipilli Musalayya who is a fisherman from Andhra Pradesh. He was imprisoned in Pakistan for 22 years after crossing the border unknowingly. The film showcases the hardships faced by his family and their relentless fight for justice.

As per reports, Thandel earned around ₹6.82 crore in India on its opening day with good occupancy rates in Telugu, Hindi and Tamil markets. However, the USA box office response has been much stronge.

Viewers are appreciating the film’s adorable songs, emotional scenes and powerful performances. Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s on-screen chemistry has been widely praised.

With positive word-of-mouth and a strong overseas presence, it looks like Thandel has the potential to achieve bigger box office milestones. If the current trend continues, it could turn out to be one of Naga Chaitanya’s most successful films.
