Thandel box office report
{{/usCountry}}According to Sacnilk, Thandel collected ₹88.25 crore worldwide and ₹65.49 crore at the domestic box office. However, according to the film’s makers, it earned over ₹100 crore worldwide. The official X (formerly Twitter) page of Thandel announced on 16 February that the film had grossed over ₹100 crore worldwide.
