Maddock Films is celebrating a thammakedaar Diwali as their latest venture, Thamma, sinks its teeth into the box office with a strong 25.11 crore net on Day 1 in India. The studio’s official tweet called it a “THAMMAKA-fied” opening, and judging by the numbers, fans are clearly lining up for this fanged fiesta. Blending supernatural thrills, laugh-out-loud moments, and a hearty dose of folklore, Thamma continues the momentum of the expanding Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, now five films strong.
Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, Thamma is a genre-bending romantic horror-comedy featuring a stellar cast: Ayushmann Khurrana leads the charge as a journalist-turned-vampiric creature (the Betal) who must battle an ancient evil with a thirst for blood, after an eerie encounter with a mysterious woman. Rashmika Mandanna brings her charm to the mix, while Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Paresh Rawal add their unique flair to the film's eerie-yet-entertaining world. The film is written by Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew, and Arun Falara, with producers Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik continuing their mission to make horror funny—and fun.
Released in both Hindi and Telugu, Thamma taps into rich Indian folklore while keeping the thrills accessible and the comedy sharp. It also marks a bold new step for Ayushmann Khurrana, who continues to reinvent himself with quirky, offbeat roles. Meanwhile, Maddock Films has quietly become Bollywood’s go-to house for genre mashups that resonate with pan-Indian audiences.
With its unique mix of romance, horror, and comedy, Thamma isn’t just another festive release—it’s a sign that Indian genre cinema is evolving, and audiences are all in for the ride. So if you're looking for bloodlust with belly laughs this Diwali, Thamma might just be your ticket to the wildest ride of the season.
And yes, the thrill? It’s real.
