Strong Tuesday Hold Despite Holiday Hangover
Thamma added approximately Rs 4 crore on its second Tuesday, demonstrating solid weekday resilience. The collection remained steady despite the absence of the usual Tuesday discount spike—many regions celebrated a holiday on Monday, which typically absorbs the discounted audience.
This consistent performance signals strong word-of-mouth and audience acceptance of the vampire comedy genre, which Maddock Films has been successfully exploring within their horror-comedy universe.
About Thamma: A Fresh Take on Horror-Comedy
Thamma (meaning “Grandmother” in Bengali) brings a unique vampire twist to Maddock Films’ successful horror-comedy universe. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film stars Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead role alongside Rashmika Mandanna and the versatile Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
The movie blends traditional Indian folklore with vampire mythology, creating a fresh narrative that resonates with audiences seeking both scares and laughs. Ayushmann’s choice to experiment with the horror-comedy genre after his success in social dramas has paid off handsomely.
Clear Road Ahead Until Mid-November
Thamma enjoys a favorable theatrical window with no major competition until November 14. This weekend will see only re-releases, including classics like SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Epic and Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic films Dil Se, Devdas, Jawan, and Om Shanti Om.
The lack of fresh competition should help Thamma maintain steady collections through its second weekend. The real test comes on November 14 with De De Pyaar De 2‘s release, though its performance will also depend on how Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam’s Haq fares at the box office.
Chasing Maddock Universe Records
Thamma is rapidly approaching the lifetime collections of Munjya, another successful horror-comedy from Maddock’s supernatural universe. The bigger challenge lies in surpassing Stree, the franchise pioneer that collected Rs 124 crore in its lifetime.
If Thamma crosses Stree‘s numbers, it will become the highest-grossing standalone franchise film in Maddock’s horror-comedy universe—a significant achievement considering the competition includes the blockbuster Stree 2, which became one of 2024’s biggest hits.
Commercial Verdict: Good But Could’ve Been Better
While Thamma‘s collections are respectable considering the cast and production budget, industry experts feel the numbers should have been higher given the strong IP value and festival release timing. The Diwali weekend typically generates massive box office numbers, and expectations were set accordingly.
However, the film’s consistent performance indicates strong audience appreciation. The horror-comedy genre continues proving its commercial viability in Indian cinema, especially when executed with Maddock’s proven formula of balancing genuine scares with laugh-out-loud moments.
What’s Next for Thamma?
With the Rs 100 crore milestone expected by Day 9 (Wednesday), Thamma will join the elite club of 2025’s highest-grossing films. The second weekend will be crucial in determining whether the film can challenge Stree‘s lifetime record.
Industry analysts predict Thamma will finish its theatrical run between Rs 115-125 crore, making it a solid commercial success for Maddock Films and reinforcing Ayushmann Khurrana’s box office credibility beyond his usual social drama territory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Thamma cross Rs 100 crore at the box office?
Yes, Thamma is expected to cross the Rs 100 crore mark on Day 9 (Wednesday, October 30). The film currently stands at Rs 96.25 crore net and is adding approximately Rs 4 crore daily, making the milestone inevitable. With no major competition until mid-November, the film has a clear path to achieve this feat comfortably.

With a favorable second weekend ahead and no major releases until November 14, Thamma could reach Rs 115-125 crore. Success depends on how strongly it holds during weekdays and performs on its second weekend.
