Zee TV has already begun airing promos announcing the upcoming television premiere, with the exact date to be revealed soon. This innovative approach may attract family audiences and potentially influence other movies to adopt a similar strategy.\r\nThe team celebrated the film\'s success with a final success meet, attended by the entire cast and crew. The event featured a shield presentation, marking the occasion. Sankranthiki Vasthunam\'s impressive box office performance has solidified its position as a blockbuster.

Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi starrer \'Thandel\' is performing exceptionally well at the box office, with solid collections in the first three days. The film\'s success can be attributed to its feel-good love story, which has resonated with the youth audience. Despite the nominal increase in ticket prices in AP, the film has recorded high profits. However, to boost collections on weekdays, the makers are planning to reduce ticket prices before the week ends.\r\nThe film unit members have taken a smart decision by not appealing for an increase in ticket rates in the Nizam area. In AP, the ticket rates were increased by Rs. 50 and Rs. 75 for the first week. However, with four days already completed, the makers are considering reducing the ticket rates to normal. This decision is expected to be made today, and if implemented, it will likely increase the collections on weekdays. As Thandel is struck by quality piracy and considering the scale and cast, it is a wise decision to reduce ticket prices during week days which makes affordable to watch the film for entire family in theatres.&nbsp;\r\nThe success of \'Thandel\' can be attributed to the efforts of the entire team, including the cast, crew, and producers. Devi Sri Prasad\'s music, Chandu Mondeti\'s direction, and Bunny Vasu\'s production have all contributed to the film\'s success. Allu Aravind\'s presentation and participation in media conferences have also created a buzz around the film. The Naga Chaitanya, Chandu Mondeti, and Bunny Vasu team have toured theaters in AP, and soon, they will have their tour in more theaters.\r\nThe reduction in ticket rates is a strategic move to boost collections on weekdays. By making the film more affordable, the makers aim to attract more audiences and increase the film\'s overall collections. With \'Thandel\' already performing well at the box office, this move is expected to further cement its success.
