Official trailer and plot of Thandel
In Thandel, Raju (Naga Chaitanya) falls in love with Bujji (Sai Pallavi). Before their wedding, Bujji worries about the dangers of fishing and asks him to stop. Ignoring her concerns, Raju embarks on a trip. A violent storm pushes his boat off course and leads to his capture by Pakistani officials. The film follows his struggle to survive and return home.
Inspired by true events, Thandel portrays the ordeal of Srikakulam fishermen who unknowingly crossed into Pakistani waters. In 2000, 21-year-old Chodipilli Musalayya moved to Gujarat for work. Fishermen then lacked GPS and often strayed across borders. One night, Pakistani Coast Guards surrounded their boats and took them captive.
After a year of uncertainty, authorities finally released them in February 2002. Musalayya and his fellow fishermen returned home, forever marked by their traumatic experience.
