Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s latest horror-comedy Thamma continues to impress at the box office. Released on October 21 during Diwali, the film is part of Maddock Films’ expanding Horror Comedy Universe, introducing audiences to the new supernatural world of Betal, following hits like Stree and Bhediya.
After four days, the movie has already collected approximately Rs 62 crore net, signaling another success for Maddock’s unique blend of horror and humor.
Thamma’s Box Office Performance
Thamma opened to a strong response from audiences, reflecting the star power of its cast and the popularity of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. Here’s a breakdown of the day-wise collections:
- Day 1: Rs 23 crore net
- Day 2: Rs 18 crore net
- Day 3: Rs 12 crore net
- Day 4: Rs 9-10 crore net
Despite a gradual drop after the opening day, this trend is normal for films releasing during the festive season. Ticket sales dipped by about 30 percent after the second day, which is typical as Diwali holidays end. However, metros, tier-2 cities, and states like Gujarat continue to show strong numbers for the film.
So far, Thamma has proven it has found its audience, keeping viewers engaged with its mix of horror, humor, and a fresh supernatural concept.
What Makes Thamma Stand Out?
Thamma has resonated with audiences for several reasons:
- Original and fresh storyline
- Balanced mix of horror and comedy
- Expands the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe by introducing Betal
- Potential for future crossovers with other Maddock films like Bhediya
The film’s charm lies in its unique take on supernatural storytelling, providing scares with laughter while staying connected to a larger cinematic universe. Fans have been particularly drawn to its world-building, making it more than just another Diwali release.
Future Box Office Outlook
As Thamma heads into its first week, expectations are high. The film is projected to cross Rs 90 crore net in its six-day extended Diwali weekend. With no major Hindi releases lined up until De De Pyaar De 2 starring Ajay Devgn, Thamma has a clear path to maintain its winning streak.
The extended weekend could be crucial, as strong word-of-mouth and the festive vibe may help the film continue drawing audiences. Given its unique concept and established horror-comedy universe, Thamma seems poised for long-term box office success.
Why Thamma is a Hit With Audiences
The film’s appeal is not just about star power or visuals—it’s about storytelling. Audiences enjoy:
- The horror-comedy mix that keeps them entertained without being too scary
- Creative universe building that promises future films
- Strong performances from Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui
- The balance of festive release timing and relatable, humorous content
This combination has helped Thamma attract both regular cinema-goers and fans of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe.
Conclusion
Thamma has had a remarkable start at the box office, collecting over Rs 62 crore net in just four days. With its unique storyline, engaging characters, and strong connection to Maddock’s cinematic universe, the film continues to pull crowds even as Diwali celebrations wind down.
As it heads into its extended first week, the movie is expected to further solidify its position as one of the hits of the festive season, setting the stage for potential crossovers and sequels in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe.
