Thandel the upcoming romantic drama starring Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya is all set to hit the screens on February 7 2025. However the film OTT release has been pushed by one and a half months thanks to a special deal locked by the makers Allu Aravind and Bunny Vas. According to reports Thandel will not be available on OTT until it completes 50 days in theaters.\r\nThe film digital rights have been acquired by Netflix for a massive sum. However the OTT giant is reportedly in discussions with the makers for an early OTT release in case the film underperforms at the box office. This approach is similar to what happened with Game Changer which was initially set to release on OTT 56 days after its theatrical release but was later made available for streaming just under a month after its release due to its poor box office performance.\r\nThandel is a romantic drama based on a real life couple from Vizag whose story of separation and reunion became a sensational topic a few years ago. Sai Pallavi plays the female lead and reports suggest that her role will be crucial to the story. Naga Chaitanya portrays a fisherman who gets stranded in Pakistani waters and is arrested. The film music has been composed by DSP and it has been produced by Bunny Vas.\r\nAs of now Thandel is expected to arrive on OTT only by the third week of March 2025. The film will hit the screens on February 7 2025 in a grand release. With its unique storyline and talented cast Thandel is expected to perform well at the box office.

The plot is set around Suryapet and focuses on how government-provided freebies impact the middle class, often leading them into struggles. Time and again, Telugu audiences have proven that if the story is strong, they will embrace the film and make it a hit. That belief led us to make this movie.

Khushi Kapoor is awaiting the release of her debut film Loveyappa. The film also stars Aamir Khan\'s son Junaid Khan.\r\nAhead of the film\'s release on 7 February 2025, Khushi Kapoor shared her thoughts on beauty standards. She said&nbsp; &ldquo;You cannot be delusional and assume that everyone is going to have extremely positive things to say about you. However, at the same time, you can\'t assume that everything is just mindless hate, and it\'s not something that you can benefit from hearing. You have to kind of decide what is something you should really take seriously and learn from and what is something you can avoid.&rdquo;\r\nShe continued &ldquo;Obviously, things that I have no control over, such as how I look, are not something I should really take to heart, but if someone has something to say about my performance and if I feel I can use [that criticism] to improve myself, then definitely I want to know what people have to say. I don\'t think it\'s something you should completely ignore, but it\'s something you should be mindful about.&rdquo;\r\nShe concluded&nbsp; &ldquo;This whole plastic surgery thing, I don&rsquo;t think it is that deep. The main thing on social media, the term that people like to say the most is &lsquo;oh we don\'t like her, she\'s plastic.&rsquo; What people don\'t like is that there\'s a false standard of beauty, that is set when people say that we\'re completely natural or we&rsquo;ve not done anything, and we wake up like this. It sets a false beauty standard for a lot of young people today. You don\'t wake up looking like this.&rdquo;\r\nShe ended saying&nbsp; &ldquo;I\'ve had a whole team to get me ready today. It took me a long time. So, I think it\'s about transparency, it\'s about being honest and open with people and your audience, you can\'t have this fake narrative of everyone being born beautiful and all actresses are just naturally looking the way they do on screen.&rdquo;\r\n<div></div>

Rajkumar Hirani has admitted that his film Dunki, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee Pannu, failed to meet box office expectations. In a recent interview, Hirani shared that the film\'s underperformance was a disappointment, despite its unique storyline and talented cast. Dunki, which also featured Vicky Kaushal in an extended cameo, tells the story of four friends from a small Punjabi town who embark on a daring journey to reach their ideal homeland.\r\nHirani discussed the making of Dunki and its box office results in an interview with Komal Nahta. The filmmaker, who collaborates with Abhijat Joshi, strives to come up with unique ideas for his films. The story of Dunki began when Hirani heard about individuals lacking proper documentation to leave India, particularly in Ludhiana. The stories were both humorous and tragic, and Hirani was drawn to the idea of creating a film around it.\r\nHirani admitted that creating the screenplay for Dunki was a challenging task. Despite their best efforts, it\'s difficult to predict how audiences will respond to a film. \"People respond differently to different stories,\" Hirani said. \"I haven\'t figured out what works yet.\" The filmmaker acknowledged that luck plays a role in a film\'s success, but emphasized the hard work that goes into creating a movie.\r\nDespite its underperformance, Dunki has still managed to leave a mark on audiences. The film\'s lifetime collection was Rs. 454 crore, a respectable amount considering its unique storyline and talented cast. While Dunki may not have met Hirani\'s expectations, it remains a notable film in his oeuvre, and its legacy will continue to be felt in the years to come.\r\n<div></div>
