12 Oct
Summary
- Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's film 'Thamma' set for Diwali release
- Maddock Films emerges as a leading Bollywood production house post-COVID
- 'Thamma' expected to be a top 5 opener for Maddock Films

As of October 12th, 2025, the upcoming film 'Thamma' starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal is just 9 days away from its theatrical release. The horror comedy is part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe and is expected to register a good start at the Indian box office during the Diwali festival season.
Maddock Films has emerged as one of the leading production houses in Bollywood, especially in the post-COVID era. The company's top three openings have all occurred in the last few years, with Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao's 'Stree 2' leading the pack with a solid 64.8 crore opening. 'Thamma' is aiming to enter the top 5 openers for Maddock Films, with a target of at least 15 crores on its opening day. This would allow it to surpass the openings of films like 'Cocktail' and 'Love Aaj Kal' and potentially even challenge 'Sky Force' for the third spot.
The film's Diwali release and the overall buzz surrounding it are expected to work in its favor, drawing in larger crowds during the festive season. As Maddock Films continues to cement its position as a major force in the Hindi film industry, 'Thamma' is poised to be one of the production house's key releases in the coming weeks.
