Thamma Box Office day 9 Ayushmann & Rashmika"™s Horror-Comedy Crossed ₹100 Crore with Smart Strategy

Thamma arrived in theatres not just as another Diwali release, but as the next chapter in a universe that has quietly grown into one of Bollywood"™s most reliable crowd-pleasers. After the success of films like Stree and Bhediya, audiences walked into Thamma already familiar with the quirky world of the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe "” where spooky spirits meet sharp humour and heartfelt storytelling. This time, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna step into the supernatural playground, joined by Paresh Rawal and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, bringing together a cast designed to spark curiosity and laughter in equal measure. Riding on festive mood and strong franchise recall, Thamma floated into cinemas with confidence "” and early numbers showed clear audience interest. The film opened strong and paced ahead in its early theatrical run, marking a solid commercial chapter for Ayushmann Khurrana in the genre-driven entertainer space. However, the franchise comparison tells an interesting story. Stree 2 opened at a massive ~₹55.4 crore on Day 1 and ~₹35.3 crore on Day 2, proving its powerful franchise advantage. In contrast, Thamma leveraged Diwali buzz and familiarity to register ~₹24 crore on Day 1, followed by ~₹18.6 crore on Day 2, ₹13 crore on Day 3, and ₹10 crore on Day 4 "” showing a dip after the initial festive rush. In other words, while the predecessor sprinted ahead early, Thamma followed a slower, festival-weighted curve. What turned the tide was the film"™s mid-run strategy. With a ₹99 ticket offer rolled out around Day 7/8, footfalls surged again, pushing the Day-8 figure to ~₹4.6 crore and helping the film cross the ₹100-crore India net mark. This smart pricing intervention allowed Thamma to climb back after its decline "” proving that today"™s box office doesn"™t reward just big openings, but sustained momentum and recovery. The film also faced early piracy leaks online even as it crossed the ₹100-crore mark domestically. Despite that, Thamma continued trending across social platforms and retained strong audience chatter, reflecting the pull of supernatural comedy blended with emotional beats and Maddock"™s expanding horror-comedy universe. Box-Office Snapshot India Net (Day 1): ₹24 crore India Net (Day 2): ₹18.6 crore India Net (Day 3): ₹13 crore India Net (Day 4): ₹10 crore India Net (Day 5): ₹13.1 crore India Net (Day 6): ₹12.6 crore India Net (Day 7): ₹ 4.3 crore India Net (Day 8): ₹ 5.75 crore India Net (Day 9): ₹ 3.65 crore India Gross (till Day 9): ₹ 125.75 crore Overseas: ₹18 crore Worldwide Total: ₹143.75 crore(approx) The film found steady support from family audiences and franchise followers. While it didn"™t match the opening pace of Stree 2, Thamma showed how hybrid strategies "” festival timing, franchise recall, and flexible pricing "” can help theatrical films sustain in a changing box-office environment.In the end, the combination of Diwali turnout, brand value, and the discounted-ticket move pushed the movie to achieve the ₹100 crore mark..

Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna's Thamma Nears 100 Cr Net As Harshvardhan Rane's Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Scores Unexpected Success

Mumbai, October 27 - Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's Thamma had a good 6-day extended opening weekend at the box office. The vampire comedy has struck a chord with its targeted audiences for its connection with Maddock Horror Comedy Universe and the chemistry between the lead pair. With positive word of mouth, the film has held its ground well despite competition during the Diwali festive period. The film's extended first weekend collections have been good, recording around 91 crores net in six days and 125 crores gross worldwide. The film is expected to enter the 100 crores club in 8 days. While the weekend trajectory was good, it wasn't exceptional, making the upcoming weekdays crucial in determining its final box office outcome. The lack of new Bollywood releases this coming week is expected to help Thamma have a sustained run. Meanwhile, Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa's romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has turned out to be a dark horse at the box office. Despite limited buzz and underwhelming critics' reviews, the film has managed to find its audience, especially among young people and in smaller towns. The film has already crossed 50 crores worldwide within six days, including 49 crores gross (41.50 crores net) from India, signalling a strong acceptance. The film has become Rane's biggest grosser with today's collection. Together, Thamma and Deewaniyat have infused fresh energy into the box office, proving that content variety and genuine audience engagement still hold the key to success. While Thamma is now aiming for a steady run, Deewaniyat has earned its spot as one of the year's most surprising success stories. Stay tuned...

Thamma vs Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat: Ayushmann Khurrana and Harshvardhan Rane Starrers Light Up Box Office With 40 Crore Gross Post-Diwali Day

Mumbai, October 22 - Unlike 2024, Bollywood didn't witness a high-profile clash this Diwali, yet there were enough fireworks at the ticket windows to light up the box office. Ayushmann Khurrana's vampire comedy Thamma, which is part of Maddock's expanding horror-comedy universe, faced unexpected competition from Harshvardhan Rane's romantic drama Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. Despite belonging to entirely different genres, both films managed to draw audiences post-Diwali, resulting in a collective box office gross of around 40 crore. While Thamma attracted family crowds and youth with its quirky premise and humour, Deewaniyat found love among urban audiences for its music and emotional storytelling. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, Thamma, which also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, carried good pre-sales and opened on the expected lines. The 5th movie in Maddock Horror Comedy Universe grossed approximately 28.75 crores (24 crores net) on its opening day, which is the second biggest start in the MHCU, behind Stree 2. The real surprise, however, was Deewaniyat, which opened to better than expected collections. The success of Rane's Sanam Teri Kasam re-release earlier this year seems to have worked in the actor's favour, as the movie grossed approximately 10.75 crores (9 crores net) on its post-Diwali day. The opening of Deewaniyat is easily the biggest for Rane, who, otherwise, doesn't have much in the box office menu to showcase. The initial reception for the film, however, is on the mixed to negative side, though it is expected to score decently with the holiday period still going on. Overall, it was a good day at the Hindi box office with nearly 50 crores gross collection, as other movies contributed to around 10 crores gross, including Kantara Chapter 2, which minted around 5 crores gross on the day. But, going forward, focus will be on Thamma and Deewaniyat on how they perform and make the most of the holiday frame. Stay tuned...

Thamma Set for a Grand Diwali Release with Midnight Shows on October 20 "” The Fifth Chapter in Maddock"™s Expanding Horror-Comedy Universe

The much-awaited film Thamma, the fifth instalment in Dinesh Vijan"™s Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), is shaping up to be one of the biggest Diwali releases of the year.

The festive holiday has historically been a lucrative window for big films, and Thamma looks set to capitalise on the season"™s family and youth audience. The decision to schedule midnight screenings not only amplifies the excitement but also allows the film to gain valuable buzz before the morning shows roll out nationwide. Producer Dinesh Vijan reportedly views this as a celebration for fans who have followed the MHCU"™s journey from its first chapter, Stree, to its latest expansion into the supernatural-romance space. With a strong ensemble cast, an intriguing concept, and the added hype of Diwali midnight shows, Thamma is poised to make a mark both commercially and culturally.
