Thamma box office collection day 1: Maddock Films gifted fans with Thamma during Diwali. The horror-comedy film, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, released in theatres on October 21 amid high expectations. Let us take a look at how it is performing on its first day in theatres.
Thamma box office update
As per the latest update on Sacnilk, Thamma collected ₹24.87 crore on Tuesday, its release day. The film has released largely unchallenged. The only other release this Diwali was Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat.
The last big Hindi theatrical release was Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, which faced stiff competition from Kannada release Kantara Chapter 1.
However, Thamma's opening fell short of the previous Maddock Horror Comedy Universe film, Stree 2, which opened at ₹35 crore last year. It is also less than what Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 managed last Diwali. The Kartik Aaryan-led horror comedy opened at ₹32 crore despite stiff competition from Rohit Shetty's multi-starrer Singham Again.

{{/usCountry}}Speaking to ANI, Ayushmann added, "My character is neither 'Stree' nor 'Bhediya'. He is not even Munjya. He is 'Thama' or 'Betaal'. This is completely different. The film will take the legacy of Maddock's Horror Comedy Universe forward. It is also a perfect family entertainer. The horror has been presented in such a way that the kids can also digest it easily."
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “There's genuine chemistry between Ayushmann and Rashmika. The interval point comes at the right time, and then the second half turns into a roller coaster ride, one filled with the critical integrations with the other films of the MHCU. Weaving the story into the mythological tale of Rakhtbeej is a masterstroke, and that explains why I mentioned MHCU as the only Indian film universe getting things correct.”
