" Thandel " marks the second collaboration between Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, as well as between Naga Chaitanya and director Chandoo Mondeti. The highly anticipated love and action saga has generated immense excitement, thanks to the sensational response to its music. The film wants you to know the difference, and this skewed treatment is what leads Thandel to falter at large. The second half veers into blatant jingoism, making room for scenes that add nothing to the plot. Thandel Movie Review : When the film focusses on the ups and downs of Sai Pallavi-Naga Chaitanya relationship, it sails quite smoothly, but the moment the film enters the murky waters of Pakistan, Thandel turns into a heroic tale of unlikely heroes, whose sorrow gets lost in the heroism With a well-paced narrative, gripping second half, and a touching climax, Thandel is a must-watch for those who love emotionally charged dramas based on real-life incidents. It's a film that stays with you long after the credits roll.
