The film, which also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, was released during Diwali and opened to packed theatres across the country. As per Adarsh, Thamma has now become the third-highest opener for Maddock Films, after Stree 2 and Chhaava. It is also the second-highest opener in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), behind Stree 2.

For Ayushmann Khurrana, the horror comedy is now his biggest-ever opener, as it crossed the first-day earnings of Dream Girl 2, which had made Rs 10.69 crore.

According to Adarsh, the film has performed well across all regions, North, South, East, and West, and has managed to pack theatres with moviegoers. With a long week ahead, Thamma is expected to post a strong total for its extended opening weekend.

Directed by Amar Kaushik and produced by Dinesh Vijan, Thamma is the fifth film in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, following Stree, Roohi, Bhediya, and Munjya. The story revolves around Ayushmann's character, who turns into a vampire and falls in love with Rashmika's character, leading to a "bloody love story" full of twists. ‘Thamma’ FIRST Review: ‘Expect the Unexpected’ – Rashmika Mandanna and Ayushmann Khurrana’s Horror-Comedy Film Thrills With Engaging Plot, Laughs and Action.

Earlier, while in a conversation with ANI, Ayushmann said that he will be seen playing the character of Alok Goyal, a journalist by profession.

"My character is neither Stree nor Bhediya. He is not even Munjya. He is Thama or Betaal. This is completely different. The film will carry forward the legacy of Maddock's Horror Comedy Universe. It is also a perfect family entertainer. The horror has been presented in such a way that the kids can also digest it easily," Ayushmann said.
