About Thamma

Thamma is the fifth installment in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, which has become synonymous with blending laughs and scares in a family-friendly package. The film also features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Paresh Rawalin pivotal roles, adding star power and depth to the narrative.

The story revolves around Ayushmann Khurrana’s character, a meek journalist who undergoes a startling transformation into a vampire. Amidst the eerie and comedic twists, he falls in love with Rashmika Mandanna’s character, setting the stage for a “bloody love story” that combines romance, horror, and humor in equal measure. The film’s plot leverages supernatural elements while maintaining the franchise’s signature comedy tone, creating an engaging cinematic experience for audiences.

Ayushmann’s Take on Thamma

Speaking to news agency ANI, Ayushmann Khurrana expressed his excitement over the film’s performance and the audience’s response. “I am feeling good. Validation by the public is the biggest validation,” he said. He noted that Thamma marks the biggest opening of his career and expressed hope that it would go on to become one of the most successful films of his filmography.

The actor also revealed that what drew him to the project was the opportunity to break away from his usual ‘guy next door’ roles. “In this film, the generic character that I have played in my earlier films, which is a guy next door, transitions towards becoming a vampire or a superhero-like figure. I have done that for the first time. I was very excited for that, because I am a big fan of this universe,” Ayushmann explained.

Maddock Horror Comedy Universe

The Maddock Horror Comedy Universe has steadily carved a niche in Indian cinema, successfully merging supernatural elements with comedy, often with a light-hearted, family-friendly approach. Thamma builds on this legacy, providing both scares and laughter while introducing innovative visual storytelling through vampire transformation sequences and creative plot twists.

Audience Reception

The film has struck a chord with viewers across India, evident from its sustained earnings more than a week after release. Its blend of horror, romance, and comedy has been appreciated for balancing entertainment with suspense, while Ayushmann and Rashmika’s performances have received particular praise for chemistry and comic timing.

The presence of veteran actors like Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Paresh Rawal has further enhanced the film’s appeal, adding gravitas to the narrative. The film’s ability to draw crowds even in its second week indicates its potential to continue earning in the upcoming weeks, particularly with festival season and school holidays around the corner.

Looking Ahead

With a total of ₹119.65 crore earned in just 13 days, Thamma is well on its way to becoming one of the more successful films in the horror-comedy genre. The franchise approach, combined with engaging performances and a fresh take on supernatural romance, ensures that it continues to attract audiences across age groups and linguistic segments.

For Ayushmann Khurrana, the film represents a significant milestone, expanding his repertoire beyond realistic dramas and socially relevant roles to include horror-comedy with supernatural elements. Rashmika Mandanna’s performance as his love interest has also been widely appreciated, adding charm and energy to the film’s narrative arc.

The combination of strong storytelling, franchise credibility, star performances, and audience-friendly marketing has enabled Thamma to maintain a steady box office trajectory, reinforcing the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe as a lucrative and dependable franchise in contemporary Indian cinema.

As the film continues to screen across multiplexes and single screens in India, analysts expect its total domestic collection to cross ₹125 crore in the coming days, provided the momentum sustains. With its unique blend of horror, romance, and comedy, Thamma continues to be a notable success in 2025’s Indian film industry landscape.
