Coming out of the competitive window of festival releases, Thandel starring Chay Akkineni and Sai Pallavi is scheduled to release on 7th Feb. Likely to attract the audience after the festival rush, the first prominent Telugu film after Sankranthi may play into a lesser crowded window for the release. The festival period might work in the film’s favor as it gives Thandel a chance to stand out without any other big holiday releases competing with her.
Why Thandel is Bypassing the Festival Rush
Though the major festivals like Sankranthi usher in plenty of promising collections at the box office, they are accompanied by cutthroat competition between the big-budget films, which usually result in a cluttered box office. By releasing in early February, Thandel will catch fresh waves of moviegoers looking for something new to entertain them after the festival season. This will not only give Thandel more space to tell its story and performances but also help theaters maintain high foot traffic beyond the usual festive peak.
What to Expect from Thandel
Thandel brings together Chay Akkineni and Sai Pallavi, the former a couple famous for their on-screen presence and chemistry. Both the actors bring a degree of depth to the characters portrayed, and with a story that draws on raw emotional appeal, fans are all set to savor a performance-driven film that touches across audiences. It’s exciting because both Akkineni and Pallavi have, at times, managed to connect with the audience through some compelling roles.
It makes the choice of February 7th a unique class of its own, since it would be the first major release after the Sankranthi frenzy. It could mean a run unchallenged at the box office that would ensure that the film takes an advantage of a less competitive environment but keeps the audiences interested.

Conclusion to Thandel’s February Release
Releasing Thandel post-Sankranthi might just be a strategic move as it will, of course, avoid competition at the festival box office yet would be well-timed so that people are ready and raring to go, as it is a whole new cinematic experience. Lead pair Chay Akkineni and Sai Pallavi promise a lot, but in this case, something different is expected to shape the beginning of 2025 for Telugu films.
