Netflix has revealed the streaming date of Thandel, the new blockbuster starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi. After its huge success in theaters, the film will be available on the platform on March 7. The viewers who missed an opportunity to watch it on the big screen and those who wish to watch the movie once again can now do so from the comfort of their homes.
With its captivating narrative, romanticism, and chartbuster tracks, Thandel has already won over the hearts of individuals. Now, its online release is sure to further expand its audience, and it will be among the most eagerly awaited OTT releases of the year.
Thandel: A Game-Changer for Naga Chaitanya
Thandel, which was helmed by Chandoo Mondeti, proved to be the career’s single-biggest grosser of Naga Chaitanya, cementing his position as one of Tollywood’s most saleable stars. Thandel earned over ₹90 crores worldwide and turned out to be a gigantic box office success and revenue-generating venture for Geetha Arts, which had taken a calculated risk investing over ₹40 crores in its production.
This film has turned around the career line of Naga Chaitanya, as this was his biggest turnaround with the performance that unraveled his acting potential. His on-screen presence with Sai Pallavi was adding to the minus points of the film’s emotional quotient.
Netflix Release in More Than One Language
Keeping the popularity of the movie in multiple regions in sight, Netflix is releasing Thandel in five lead languages:
- Telugu (Original)
- Hindi
- Tamil
- Kannada
- Malayalam
This multi-lingual release has brought Thandel to a pan-Indian audience, satisfying non-Telugu speaking state audiences as well. The success of the film’s box office already marked that it would have a universal appeal, and with its release on Netflix, its popularity is set to skyrocket.
