Thamma Leverages Horror Universe Buzz for Diwali Box Office Boost
20 Oct
Summary
- No major Bollywood release this Diwali
- Thamma, a new horror comedy, generating reasonable buzz
- Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna star in the film
- Advance bookings progressing well towards 1 lakh mark
As of October 20th, 2025, the upcoming Diwali festival is set to lack the usual fireworks of a major Bollywood release. However, the horror comedy film Thamma is generating reasonable buzz and is expected to have a good start at the box office.
Thamma is a new addition to the established horror universe that includes films like Stree. Unlike the previous entries Bhediya and Munjya, which are sequels, Thamma will be starting on its own accord. The film's universe factor is expected to propel it to a good extent, and the Diwali holiday will further boost its prospects.
Starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, Thamma is catering to both the multiplex and single-screen audiences. The advance bookings for the film have been progressing well, nearing the 1 lakh mark. This, combined with the expected strong spot booking, especially for the evening and night shows, suggests Thamma is poised for a promising opening in the range of Rs. 20 crores.
