Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s latest release Thamma is performing exceptionally well at the global box office.
Within just three days of release, the horror-comedy has minted an impressive ₹72 crore worldwide, cementing its place as one of the strongest openers in recent months.
The film opened on a high note on Diwali with collections of around ₹24 crore, maintaining steady momentum through the festive weekend. According to early trade estimates, Thamma has already outperformed films like Baaghi 4 and Maa, a remarkable feat for a mid-budget entertainer. Its growing popularity across multiplex audiences and younger viewers has contributed heavily to its success.
Directed by Amar Kaushik and produced under Maddock Films, Thamma is the latest addition to the studio’s well-loved Horror Comedy Universe, which includes hits like Stree, Bhediya, and Roohi. The story follows two betaals—supernatural beings brought to life by Ayushmann and Rashmika—who find themselves entangled in a hilarious yet emotional face-off with Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s menacing antagonist.
Critics and audiences have praised the film’s clever writing, quirky humour, and inventive mix of folklore and modern storytelling. Ayushmann’s effortless comic timing and Rashmika’s refreshing screen presence have also been highlighted as major strengths.
While domestic collections have been robust, overseas markets have shown steady growth, particularly in the UAE and the UK. The film’s relatable humour and festive timing have boosted footfalls, with positive word of mouth ensuring repeat audiences.
If the current pace continues, Thamma is expected to cross the ₹100-crore mark within its first week, establishing it as one of 2025’s biggest surprise hits. For Ayushmann and Rashmika, the film marks another win, proving that the blend of heart, horror, and humour continues to strike gold at the box office.
