Thandel Twitter Review: A Mixed Bag of Emotions

7 Feb, 2025 09:48 IST|Sakshi Post

The latest movie, Thandel, with Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi in lead roles has hit the floors and aroused mixed reactions from the audience. While appreciation for the lead pair's performances and the soundtrack themselves have emerged from all quarters, every other thing from the movie has been heavily criticized. In this piece, we shall discuss the Twitter buzz around this movie and try to peak into its highs and lows.

DSP's Music:

Music by Devi Sri Prasad (DSP) is one of the strongest elements in the movie. Several reviewers, including Andhravilas, pointed out that DSP's score elevated the emotional quotient of the film. His ability to complement the narrative with soulful tunes seems to have been a saving grace as it drew audiences into the movie's emotional moments even when the plot fell short.

Mixed Reactions to Emotional Connection

There was a mixed opinion among the audience about the movie's emotional connection. Though a few sequences like the interval block and some emotional scenes worked for them, inconsistency in narration at various points frustrated the audience. As Sai Ayyagari noted, a scene like "#BujjiThalli song and strong toofan scene" indeed punches but was a bit too rare to redeem all the movie's weaker aspects.

A Film that Shines in Parts

Overall, Thandel appears to be a film that shines in parts but fails hard to stand on its footing as a cohesive story. Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi fans may find enough reasons to watch the movie based on their performances and DSP's music serving as an emotional anchor throughout. As for a storyline, anyone seeking to stay hooked might be disappointed.

Overall, Thandel is a film that will leave its audience with mixed feelings. At some points, it is a masterpiece, such as during its emotional climaxes. However, at other points, it falls weak due to its weak storyline and slow pace. Nevertheless, the performances by the lead cast and the music have received accolades. Here are a few reactions of the audience from Twitter,
