Thandel Box Office Collection Day 5: Beats Venky Mama, Needs Just 5.17 Crores More To Be Naga Chaitanya’s No.1 Grosser!

Thandel, starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, has performed well so far. After a solid start debut on the opening weekend, the film needed to maintain a stronghold on weekdays, but it faced a bigger drop than expected. Still, it has fared well in the overall collection and very soon, it will be Naga’s highest-grossing film at the Indian box office. In the meantime, on day 5, it surpassed Venky Mama’s lifetime collection.

Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, the Telugu romantic action thriller was released on February 7. It opened to mixed reviews from critics but among the ticket-buying audience, word-of-mouth is decent. The music by Devi Sri Prasad is one of the strong pillars of the film and that has played a key role in attracting footfall so far.

After an impressive opening weekend of 36.35 crores, Thandel dropped more than expected on Monday and earned 4.50 crores. Even yesterday, on day 5, the film dipped a bit more than expected and earned 3.60 crores, as per Sacnilk. This pushes the overall tally to 44.45 crore net at the Indian box office. This collection is good, but still, a lot of work needs to be done.
