Official trailer and plot of Thandel
In Thandel, Raju (Naga Chaitanya) is head over heels in love with a girl named Bujji (Sai Pallavi). Before their wedding, she fears for his safety and asks him to stop fishing. However, Raju ignores her concerns and sets out to sea. A powerful storm pushes his boat off course, leading to his capture by Pakistani authorities. The story follows his struggle to survive and find a way back home.
The film is inspired by real events involving fishermen from Srikakulam who unknowingly crossed into Pakistani waters. In 2000, a young fisherman named Chodipilli Musalayya moved to Gujarat for work. At the time, GPS was not widely used, and many fishermen accidentally drifted across borders. One fateful night, Pakistani Coast Guards seized their boats and took them into custody.
After months of uncertainty, the fishermen were finally released in early 2002. Though they returned home, the experience changed their lives forever.
