Thandel has achieved an impressive milestone, recording nearly ₹73 crores in gross revenue, marking the highest opening week record for Naga Chaitanya. With a worldwide share of approximately ₹40 crores, the film has kicked off its second weekend on a high note, and its Thandel box office collection is trending stronger than both recent weekdays and competing new releases. This unstoppable momentum suggests that surpassing the ₹100 crores mark is well within reach.
The film’s success is further amplified by the underwhelming performance of other releases like Laila and Brahma Anandam, positioning Thandel as the clear audience favorite this weekend. The added advantage of Valentine’s Day has contributed to boosting its Thandel box office collection even further. With expectations of robust night show attendance, all indicators point towards Thandel joining the exclusive ₹100 crore club.
A crucial factor for reaching this landmark will be a significant boost in the overseas market over the weekend. If Thandel manages to secure strong overseas numbers, it could very well become Naga Chaitanya’s first film to achieve a ₹100 crore box office collection.
