Weak Storytelling: The film lacks depth in its narrative. There is no engaging emotional arc or strong storytelling to hold the audience’s interest.
Unrealistic Scenes: The Gujarat port strike scene featuring the actress is completely unrealistic and feels forced. Her actions lack logic and believability.
Pakistan Jail Scenes – Slow & Boring: The portions set in the Pakistan jail drag on with a sluggish pace, making the screenplay feel stretched and unengaging.
Title Doesn't Fit the Story: The movie’s title Thandel suggests a strong, intense storyline, but the actual plot does not justify it.
Final Verdict: ⭐☆☆☆ ☆(1/5)
Thandel fails to deliver an engaging story despite having a grand setting and decent performances. The weak screenplay, unrealistic sequences, and slow pace make it a dull watch. Only worth watching if you're a fan of the lead actors.
