Thandel Box Office: Telugu Pre-Release Business Closes At 30 Crores+, Tough Breakeven Target For Naga Chaitanya?

Things haven’t been going well for Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya. Except for Bangarraju, which also had Nagarjuna in the lead role, all his films in the post-pandemic era have failed to make good box office earnings. Now, with his upcoming biggie, Thandel, the actor is looking for a smashing comeback. However, the task isn’t easy as it has a big breakeven target in the front. Keep reading for a detailed report!

Written and directed by Chandoo Mondeti, the upcoming Tollywood romantic survival drama is scheduled for its big release on February 7. It also stars Sai Pallavi in the female lead. Unlike Naga’s recent releases, this one has managed to create some hype for itself, mainly due to the music of Devi Sri Prasad. The couple of songs from the album have been received well by the viewers and it is expected to boost the start of the film.

Now, the latest we learned is that Thandel has managed to rake in impressive business through pre-release theatrical deals of the Telugu version. As per Track Tollywood’s report, the theatrical rights in the coastal Andhra Pradesh have been locked at 12-13 crores. For the Ceded region, rights have been valued at 5.5 crores. In Nizam, it’s 11-12 crores.
