The story focuses on their struggles and explores themes of love, revenge, bravery, and patriotism.

Thandel's review

Telugu360 rated Thandel 2.75 out of 5 and a part of their review read, “Thandel is a serious film that incorporates patriotic elements in its second half, soulful songs in the first half. The script blends real-life events like Article 370 and India-Pakistan tensions into the storyline. Both Sai Pallavi and Chay Akkineni deliver good performances. The slow and unengaging first hour stands as a major drawback. You can try it for its positive aspects.”
