Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, continues to impress at the box office, crossing Rs 78 crore within its first five days of release. The horror-comedy has shown steady growth, demonstrating strong audience engagement and solid word-of-mouth, establishing itself as a notable success in Bollywood.
Early estimates indicate that the film earned Rs 13 crore on Day 5, taking the five-day total to Rs 78 crore. The opening day recorded Rs 24 crore, followed by Rs 18.6 crore and Rs 13 crore over the next two days, reflecting consistent viewership. Notably, Thamma has already surpassed the lifetime collections of Varun Dhawan’s Bhediya (Rs 68.99 crore) and exceeded the domestic earnings of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (Rs 60.35 crore). On Saturday, the film registered a 19.72 percent occupancy across Hindi screens, highlighting its sustained popularity even amidst competition.
The film’s success has been attributed to positive audience feedback, critical acclaim, and dedicated performances from the cast. Ayushmann Khurrana expressed his gratitude on social media, acknowledging the support of his family, late father, and audiences, and promising to connect personally with fans during theater visits.
Rashmika Mandanna faced significant challenges during production, particularly while shooting the song sequence “Tum Mere Na Hue” following a foot fracture. Despite medical advice recommending three months of bed rest, she managed to resume promotional and shooting activities within 30 days, reflecting her dedication to the project.
Thamma tells the story of a man who transforms into a Betal—a vampiric entity—after encountering a mysterious woman, sparking a humorous yet eerie battle between human instincts and ancient evil. Alongside the lead trio, the film features Paresh Rawal, Faisal Malik, Geeta Agrawal Sharma, and Alexx O'Nell in pivotal roles. Special appearances by Nora Fatehi, Malaika Arora, Sathyaraj, and Abhishek Banerjee add additional star power to the narrative.
The film’s performance demonstrates the effectiveness of combining strong storytelling, innovative concepts, and star appeal. Industry insiders have credited the box office success to collective audience support, positive reviews, and the cast’s commitment, signaling that Thamma is on track to cross the Rs 100 crore mark in the coming days.
As it continues to perform steadily, Thamma reinforces the impact of horror-comedy as a popular genre in Indian cinema, showcasing how audience engagement and strategic release timing can drive remarkable box office results.
