Despite a strong opening, the Telugu romantic action thriller struggles to maintain momentum
February 15, 2025: Thandel Box Office Collection Day 8: Hits ₹68.5 Crore Worldwide
Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s much-awaited Telugu romantic action thriller, Thandel has raked in ₹68.5 crore globally in its first 8 days. While the film started strong with an ₹11.5 crore opening day, it has since struggled to maintain a steady hold at the box office.
According to Sacnilk, the film has made ₹57.95 crore in India, while overseas earnings stand at ₹10.55 crore.
India Box Office Breakdown: Slow Growth Post Opening Weekend

- Total India net earnings: ₹52.04 crore
- Overseas earnings: ₹10.55 crore

Despite a fantastic career-best opening for Naga Chaitanya (beating his previous record Love Story which had a ₹10.50 crore Day 1), the film saw a steep 64.71% drop in collections on Monday (February 11).
Will Thandel Cross ₹100 Crore? Makers Remain Hopeful
The film’s declining trajectory raises concerns over its ability to reach the ₹100 crore milestone, though producers at Geetha Arts remain optimistic.
Songs like “Bujji Thalli” and “Highlessa Highlessa” by Devi Sri Prasad have gone viral, potentially helping boost its weekend collections.
