The much-anticipated film Thandel, featuring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, has been released on Friday. Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, the movie is inspired by real events involving fishermen from Srikakulam who endured captivity in Pakistan before returning to India. Early viewers have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts on the film’s performances, music, and storytelling.
Audiences who caught the early shows are discussing the film extensively online. One of the major takeaways is Naga Chaitanya’s performance. Many are praising his transformation into a fisherman, noting his dialect delivery and emotional depth as key highlights. While Sai Pallavi is known for her natural screen presence, viewers say that Thandel provides a stage for Chaitanya to deliver one of his career-best performances.
The on-screen chemistry between the lead actors has also been appreciated. Social media users are pointing out that their pairing, which has been well-received in the past, remains engaging in Thandel. Additionally, the patriotic elements in the narrative have struck a chord with the audience.
Devi Sri Prasad’s compositions have been a talking point even before the film’s release. Viewers now highlight that, beyond the songs, the background score adds intensity to crucial moments. Many are crediting the film’s gripping atmosphere to the effective use of music.
The cinematography and direction are also receiving positive mentions. Chandoo Mondeti’s handling of the real-life-inspired plot and the film’s emotional depth are aspects that several users have noted in their reactions.
While the general reception appears positive, some viewers feel that the initial portions of the film could have been tighter. Certain users expressed that the first half takes time to establish the narrative, but the later portions make up for it with engaging storytelling and performances.
Overall, Thandel has generated favorable word-of-mouth on social media, with many encouraging audiences to watch it in theaters. The performances, especially Naga Chaitanya’s, along with the music and emotional depth, are being cited as key reasons to watch the film.Thandel Twitter Review: Strong Performances, Emotional Depth Click
