Their love is pure and unwavering, but their lives take a dramatic turn when Naga Chaitanya is honored with the title of Thandel (Leader) among his people.

Concerned for his safety, Sai Pallavi urges him to give up fishing forever.

Despite her warnings, Naga Chaitanya sets out to sea, unknowingly drifting into Pakistani waters.

This unfortunate mistake lands him and his crew in a Pakistani jail, turning their lives upside down. Will Naga Chaitanya and his men find a way back home?

Can love withstand the test of distance, struggle, and uncertainty forms the core plot of the movie.

Director Chandoo Mondeti deserves appreciation for crafting an emotionally resonant love story.

He sensitively captures pain, longing, and patriotism, making the emotional beats land effectively.

However, a bit more finesse in writing and execution could have enhanced certain scenes.

Naga Chaitanya delivers a performance that truly stands out. His transformation into the character is remarkable, and his effortless mastery of the role, makes it a delightful aspect of the film.

Sai Pallavi, as expected, shines yet again. Her expressive performance adds depth to the narrative, making her love and emotions for Naga Chaitanya feel incredibly real.

The chemistry between Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi is one of the film’s biggest strengths, bringing a unique charm to their romance.

Rest of the supportin cast have also performed their part well.

Devi Sri Prasad’s background score plays a crucial role in uplifting the film, making every emotional moment even more powerful. Shamdat Sainudeen’s cinematography is another major highlight.
