What the audience says
The few people who have rated Thandel are lukewarm on this Telugu film. It carries a 5.7/10 on TMDB across 18 ratings — a small sample, so treat it with caution. At 152 minutes, it asks for a real chunk of your night. In India you can stream it on Netflix.
Should you spend 2h 32m on it?
2h 32m of Telugu romance with action threaded through, not one for younger kids. The 5.7 rests on just 18 ratings so far — promising, not proven.
Don't watch this if…
- you want a safe bet — that rating rests on only 18 votes
- you want something you can finish quickly — it runs 2h 32m
- Skip if
- you find romantic plots hard to invest in
- Best for
- An evening with no interruptions
