Thandel recorded nearly 73 crores gross making it the highest week record for Naga Chaitanya. It also raked in around 40 crores share worldwide. The film also started the 2nd weekend well on a very good note. It is trending better than the recent weekdays and the new releases. Thandel looks to be in an unstoppable mode and 100 crores may also be possible with this momentum.
The other releases, Laila and Brahma Anandam opened with poor reviews making Thandel the solo preference of the audience this weekend. The advantage of Valentine’s Day also helps Thandel today. Likewise, it is expected to take a strong hold from today’s night shows and all these would make the film reach the 100 crore club.
Thandel also needs a good jump in the Overseas market this weekend to make this a reality. The film must perform well this weekend there to reach a safe destination. If all goes well, the film is set to become Naga Chaitanya’s first 100 crore grosser.
