Bollywood's big Diwali release Thamma, starring Rashmika Mandanna and Ayushmann Khurrana, is scheduled to hit the theatres on October 21, 2025. The horror comedy film directed by Aditaya Sarpotdar is just a day ahead of its release. The movie will face a direct clash with Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa's romantic film Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat at the box office. Despite the clash, Thamma is expected to perform well and draw large numbers on its opening day. Early advance booking sales also indicate the same. ‘Thamma’ FIRST Review: ‘Expect the Unexpected’ – Rashmika Mandanna and Ayushmann Khurrana’s Horror-Comedy Film Thrills With Engaging Plot, Laughs and Action.
