Reviews:
#Thandel
is
a
passable
love
story
that
works
well
when
focused
on
the
feel
good
and
intimate
moments
between
the
lead
pair
but
is
tiring
whenever
it
shifts
the
focus
to
other
subplots.
The
lead
performances
by
Naga
Chaitanya
and
Sai
Pallavi
hold
this
film
together
along
with
the
superb
music
by
DSP
which
is
the
biggest
backbone
for
this
film.
DSPs
best
work
in
recent
times.
However,
the
weak
writing
and
dull
narration
style
at
times
make
it
feel
dragged
out.
The
film
has
a
few
feel
good
moments
in
both
halves
and
a
well
executed
last
20
minute
block,
but
the
total
India-Pakistan
sequence
in
the
2nd
half
hampers
the
flow
mightily
and
is
very
artificial.
The
efforts
of
Naga
Chaitanya
and
Sai
Pallavi
can
be
seen
throughout
and
both
gave
their
best
but
the
writing
was
only
able
to
support
at
times.
Ends
up
being
an
alright
watch!
Rating:
2.75/5
#Thandel
Passable
1st
Half!
The
first
half
has
a
few
feel
good
moments
backed
by
good
songs/bgm
which
is
the
biggest
asset
so
far.
Songs
have
come
out
well
on
screen.
However,
the
pace
is
pretty
flat
and
the
drama
doesn’t
pickup
much
till
the
pre-interval
point.
Needs
a
good
2nd
half!

#Thandel
–
Naga
Chaitanya’s
career-best
performance,
Sai
Pallavi’s
mesmerising
acting,
undoubtedly
the
best
work
from
Devi
Sri
Prasad
in
recent
times
and
the
final
act
worked
out
in
the
favour
of
the
film.
There
are
at
least
three
to
four
scenes
in
the
film
where
Naga
Chaitanya
delivers
a
memorable
performance.
He
is
too
good
during
an
emotional
burst-out
scene
in
the
second
half.
Sai
Pallavi
as
Sathya
is
excellent
as
usual.
The
way
she
performed
with
her
eyes
was
a
treat
to
watch.
And,
DEVI
SRI
PRASAD’s
music
is
the
backbone
of
the
film.
He
lifted
quite
a
few
ordinary
scenes
with
his
terrific
background
score.
This
is
his
best
work
in
the
last
few
years.
Chandoo
Mondeti’s
direction
is
a
mixed
bag.
His
direction
is
partly
good.
A
better
screenplay
in
both
halves,
specifically
during
the
prison
scenes
would
have
done
a
world
of
good
for
the
film.
Overall,
Thandel
is
a
pretty
decent
film
and
you
may
give
it
a
try.
