About Thamma

Helmed by Aditya Sarpotdar and written by Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew and Arun Falara, the horror-comedy drama is the fourth instalment in Maddock's horror-comedy universe. The story revolves around a journalist (Ayushmann Khurrana) who, after encountering a mysterious woman (Rashmika Mandanna), turns into a vampiric creature called Betal and must save humanity from the bloodlust of an ancient evil (Nawazuddin Siddiqui). The film received mostly positive reviews from critics as well as praise from the audience.

An excerpt from Hindustan Times’ review of Thamma reads, “Thamma feels less like another franchise instalment and more like the moment the MHCU truly finds its rhythm. It blends humour and heart with surprising confidence, leaving you curious about what’s next... and for once, that curiosity feels well-earned.”
