Ayushmann’s Thamma Becomes Maddock’s Big Horror-Comedy Hit

Maddock Films’ latest addition to its popular horror-comedy universe, Thamma, is performing impressively at the box office. Within just three days of release, the film has crossed the ₹50 crore milestone, reaffirming the audience’s continued love for this genre.

The film opened with a solid ₹24 crore on Day 1, becoming the second-highest opener in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU) after Stree 2.

Despite a slight drop post the festive holiday rush, Thamma maintained its momentum. On Thursday, it added ₹12.50 crore, taking its total collection to ₹55.10 crore.

With these figures, Thamma has also set a new personal record for Ayushmann Khurrana, surpassing the opening of his 2023 hit Dream Girl 2 (₹10.69 crore). This marks his biggest box office debut yet, signaling a strong comeback for the actor in the comedy-horror space.

Audience Reception and Trade Response

Trade analysts have praised the film’s consistent run, highlighting how it has sustained family appeal even after the festive wave subsided.

Reports indicate that the movie’s evening and night shows have performed strongly, helping it maintain steady footfall across major centers.

A key highlight has been the backing from family audiences, which continues to strengthen both the film’s identity and the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe — a franchise known for its blend of humor and supernatural storytelling.

The Maddock Universe Legacy

With Thamma, Maddock Films continues to expand its interconnected horror-comedy world. The studio’s ability to combine spooky themes with lighthearted humor has become its trademark, setting new benchmarks for genre cinema in India.

Given its box office success and positive audience response, Thamma is expected to maintain a solid run through its first week. The strong performance also boosts excitement for upcoming MHCU titles, which may include crossovers with Street 2 and other characters from the universe.
