Regarding Satya's (Sai Pallavi) storyline, the filmmaker fails to convey her suffering to the viewer. Because the story emphasizes other aspects over Raju's suffering, her emotional pain never completely registers, even when she is imprisoned in Pakistan. Even the finale, which is more of a facile, theatrical closure than an organic ending, seems disappointing as a result. Such simple cinematic concepts fall flat in their endeavor to convey a genuine tale and are neither impactful nor revitalizing.
 
For a movie that strives to be as grounded as possible both visually and in terms of acting, the decisions taken in the second half would surprise one. The plot eventually falters when the filmmaker loses sight of the central theme—the lifeblood of the love tale. Because of this, the second half seems drawn out and slow. Nevertheless, there are some strong points throughout the second half. However, the central feeling is lost when the narrative departs from Raju and Satya, and this absence is felt throughout the second half. In Thandel, this is exactly what takes place.
 
All things considered, Thandel is worth seeing once for the excellent performances by the lead duo, the intention of adapting a true tale to the big screen, and the caliber of the music and graphics. However, don't anticipate a really rewarding, emotional movie at the conclusion.
