Thandel slows down on its first Monday

Naga Chaitanya is in the limelight because of his latest film Thandel, which arrived in theatres on February 7. The film witnessed a massive drop at the Indian box office on its first Monday after opening on a strong note. According to Sacnilk, a trade website, it earned Rs 4.75 crore yesterday. This is nearly 62% lower than the Rs 12.75 crore it netted on its third day.

Here is the day-wise breakdown for Thandel:

Day 1: Rs 11.5 crore

Day 2: Rs 12.1 crore

Fay 3: Rs 12.75 crore

Day 4: Rs 4.75 crore

The film's total collection stands at Rs 41 crore. Thandel needs to stay stable over the weekends in order to have any hope of enjoying a long run at the ticket window. It has received mixed reviews with critics praising the performances but complaining about the screenplay. As such, the word-of-mouth is not as good as expected. This may act as a hindrance.
