Many fishermen from both sides of the border drifting into the territory of either India or Pakistan is unfortunately a very common phenomenon.

These people are suspected of being spies and put in jail for a very long time.

The best part of Thandel is how Chandoo Mondeti along with the storywriter Kartik Theeda has explored the lives of fishermen.

A major problem with Thandel is the tried and tested patriotic troupes, with the Pakistani characters mostly a caricature.

To sum it up, Thandel mostly works as an intense love story, a tighter second half without the patriotic troupes would have made this a more engaging one.
