Naga Chaitanya’s Thandel has collected around 73 Cr gross and 40 Cr share worldwide in its first week. It is his career-biggest first week and has already emerged as his all-time biggest lifetime collection. The movie has achieved the breakeven mark worldwide, and most of the individual territories have also achieved the breakeven figures or are closer to them.
The situation is quite the opposite in the overseas market where the film has failed to achieve the breakeven mark and a big 2nd weekend is needed so that Thandel can end up as an average venture.
Thandel Fails to Impress in Hindi And Tamil:
Thandel has been made as a pan-India film and the team visited Chennai and Mumbai for promotions and expected some decent numbers. Unfortunately, the film did not make any numbers in both languages which has disappointed the makers.
The Tamil and Hindi versions only helped the makers to get good non-the-tarical deals such as a big OTT deal with Netflix which has reportedly covered 1/3 rd of the budget. But theatrically, the Hindi and Tamil versions have not brought any numbers.
Can Thandel Hit 100 Cr ?
All eyes are now on the big Valentine’s Day weekend. This Naga Chaitanya-Sai Pallavi starrer needs a big push this weekend and should target at least a 15 Cr weekend to go 90 Cr range. If that happens, then inching towards the Rs 100 crore mark by the end of its run would be made easy. It all depends on how well it performs in the next 3 days.
