Thamma Day 2 Collections: Solid Hold Despite Weekday Challenge
Thamma collected approximately ₹17-17.50 crore on its second day, taking the two-day total to a robust ₹40 crore net at the Indian box office. While there’s a natural dip from the opening day’s ₹22.50 crore, this holds well for a film released on Tuesday during the Diwali season.
| Day | Box Office Collection | Running Total |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 (Tuesday) | ₹22.50 crore | ₹22.50 crore |
| Day 2 (Wednesday) | ₹17.50 crore | ₹40 crore |
| Weekend Target | ₹90-100 crore | TBD |
Regional Performance: Where Thamma is Roaring
The film is performing exceptionally well across specific circuits. Delhi-UP, Rajasthan, and Mysore are leading the charge, with Eastern circuits also contributing significantly to the collections. This widespread appeal across different regions indicates that Ayushmann Khurrana’s versatility continues to resonate with diverse audiences.
Weekend Predictions: ₹100 Crore on the Horizon?
With the advantage of Diwali holidays and an extended six-day opening weekend, trade analysts are bullish about Thamma‘s prospects. The film is projected to cross ₹90 crore by Sunday, with ₹100 crore achievable if Saturday and Sunday witness strong spikes.
Industry insiders suggest that ₹200 crore net would be an ideal lifetime total considering the film’s star cast and scale. This would position it as a solid commercial success for the MHCU, even if it doesn’t match Stree 2‘s astronomical ₹600 crore collection.
MHCU’s Golden Streak Continues
The Maddock Horror Comedy Universe has become Bollywood’s most reliable franchise. Stree 2 set unprecedented benchmarks with its ₹600 crore haul, while even Munjya—featuring newcomers—crossed the ₹100 crore milestone. According to Box Office India, this consistency is rare in contemporary Hindi cinema.
Thamma benefits from strong audience goodwill toward the franchise and mostly positive word-of-mouth. The vampire-comedy angle brings fresh flavor to the universe while maintaining the signature horror-comedy balance that fans love.
Clear Run Ahead
A major advantage for Thamma is the lack of competition. With no significant Hindi releases until Ajay Devgn’s De De Pyaar De 2 in mid-November, the film enjoys a clear theatrical run. This extended window could help it achieve legs that many Diwali releases miss due to crowded release calendars.
The next MHCU installment, Bhediya 2, is slated for August 14, 2026, giving fans something to look forward to while Thamma attempts to cement its place in the franchise’s successful legacy.
What’s Working for Thamma?
Aditya Sarpotdar’s directorial has received a majorly positive response, particularly for its fresh take on vampire lore with an Indian twist. The pairing of Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna brings together two of contemporary cinema’s most bankable stars, each with their own loyal fanbase.
As Thamma enters its crucial first weekend, all eyes are on whether it can maintain momentum and join the ₹100 crore club—a feat that would further solidify MHCU’s position as Bollywood’s most successful horror-comedy franchise.
