With its streaming rights fetching a significant deal, anticipation is high for its digital debut.

When and Where to Watch Thandel

Thandel will premiere on Netflix on March 7, 2025. The film will be available in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. Reports indicate that additional scenes, including extended jail sequences set in Pakistan, will be included in the OTT version, which were not part of the theatrical release.

The emotional depth, high-stakes drama, and strong performances set the tone for the film. The story weaves romance, patriotism, and resilience, making it an engaging watch.

Cast and Crew of Thandel

Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, Thandel stars Naga Chaitanya in a role that deviates from his usual urban characters. Sai Pallavi plays the female lead, and the supporting cast includes actors portraying key roles in the fisherman’s journey.

Reception of Thandel

The film amassed Rs. 100 crore at the box office, with Rs. 68 crore in share earnings. Its performance in the North was underwhelming despite Aamir Khan promoting the film.
