Thamma Debuts Strong on Diwali With Near-₹25 Crore Day 1, Early Buzz Positive

Early Sacnilk figures point to a near-₹25 crore start, with momentum now hinging on word of mouth.

Overview

  • Industry tracker Sacnilk pegged opening-day collections at ₹24.87 crore by 9 p.m., with Hindustan Times logging ₹22.5 crore by 8 p.m. and a likely finish in the ₹20–25 crore range.
  • Footfall built through the day, with overall occupancy rising from slower morning shows to stronger afternoon and evening sessions, according to Indian Express estimates.
  • Taran Adarsh’s first review awarded four stars, praising the blend of humour, supernatural elements and romance, while social-media reactions skew positive with a vocal minority calling the film a weaker Maddock entry.
  • The fifth film in Maddock’s Horror-Comedy Universe extends into vampire lore and features reported cameos that connect to the wider franchise, as coverage also flags a dated reveal for MHCU title Shakti Shalini on December 24, 2026.
  • Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the theatrical release will stream on Amazon Prime Video after its run.
