After delivering the blockbuster Stree 2, Maddock Films has returned with yet another spooky entertainer, Thamma, and it’s already winning hearts and the box office. Starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the vampire horror-comedy released on Diwali and has collected over ₹50 crore in just three days.
According to trade portal Sacnilk, Thamma opened on a high note with ₹24 crore on Day 1 and followed it up with ₹18.6 crore on Day 2. The film earned ₹10.42 crore on its third day, taking the total domestic collection to ₹53.02 crore.
Strong Box Office Run Despite Competition
The film has outshined Kajol’s horror outing Maa, which made ₹36.08 crore domestically and ₹49.75 crore worldwide. Even though Thamma faced competition from Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, it continues to lead comfortably at the box office.
Interestingly, the Ayushmann–Rashmika starrer is now closing in on the lifetime business of Varun Dhawan’s Bhediya, which had grossed ₹68.99 crore in India.
The ABP Live review of the film reads: This isn’t a cinematic masterpiece, but it’s certainly a well-made entertainer that you can enjoy with your family. The trailer may not have built much excitement, but the film itself pleasantly surprises. It’s not your typical horror-comedy — it’s something different, a genre-bending experiment that works.
