Thandel Hindi TV Premiere: Naga Chaitanya’s Patriotic Hit to Air on Sony Max
After scoring the biggest blockbuster of his career, Naga Chaitanya’s emotional patriotic drama Thandel is now reaching a wider audience. The film, which crossed ₹100 crore at the box office and marked a major comeback for the Akkineni hero, is all set for its Hindi television premiere on Sony Max this Sunday, June 15.
Directed by Chandoo Mondeti and starring Sai Pallavi as the female lead, Thandel captured hearts with its stirring narrative and Devi Sri Prasad’s soul-touching music. The film not only won critical acclaim but also resonated strongly with mass audiences, thanks to its rooted storytelling and emotional depth.
Plot Rooted in Real Struggles
Thandel draws inspiration from real-life events surrounding a group of fishermen from a small village near Vizag who mistakenly cross into Pakistani waters while fishing near Gujarat. They are captured by the Pakistani Navy and imprisoned for nearly two years in Karachi jail, facing unimaginable hardship. The film shines a spotlight on their resilience, patriotism, and the emotional toll on families left behind.
A Powerful Supporting Cast & Production Banner
Produced by Bunny Vas and presented by Allu Aravind under the Geetha Arts banner, Thandel also features Aadukalam Naren, Jabardasth Mahesh, Prakash Belawadi, Karunakaran, and Divya Pillai in key roles. The performances, coupled with a tight screenplay and moving soundtrack, helped the film rise above typical patriotic fare and strike a deep chord with viewers.

With Thandel making its Hindi TV debut, this is a golden chance for Hindi-speaking audiences to witness one of Telugu cinema’s most heartfelt dramas in recent times. Tune in to Sony Max on June 15 and experience the powerful story of courage, survival, and hope.
