Thamma box office: Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s horror-comedy, Thamma has crossed the Rs 50 crore mark at the box office in three days. Written by Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew and Arun Falara and directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Paresh Rawal and Sathyaraj in pivotal roles.

The film earned Rs 12.50 crore on Thursday after opening at Rs 24 crore on Day 1 and minting Rs 18.6 crore on Day 2. Its three-day collection stands at Rs 55.10 crore. The horror comedy saw a dip of 22.50% on Day 2 which increased further to 32.42% on Thursday. It had an occupancy of just over 19.38% on Thursday.

Thamma is faring way lesser than Maddock Horror Comedy Universe’s last release, Stree 2, which had earned Rs 51.8 crore right on its Day 1 when it came out last year. Thamma has earned lesser even when compared to this year’s blockbuster Saiyaara, which minted Rs 35.75 crore on its third day.  

Thamma is produced by Dinesh Vijan.

CE’s review of the film reads, “The real horror in Thamma is realising it’s still not over; the comedy meanwhile, dies long before the vampires do, staying buried under flat gags and dated jokes. To shake the monotony, Varun Dhawan makes a rather laughable entry late into the second half and the memory of the film being part of MHCU sprawls up. It is the weakest entry in the universe; a hollow spectacle that is all talk and no play. In a scene, when Alok gulps down that 3000-year-old blood and passes out, it feels strangely envious. At least he has the privilege of escaping the life-sucking doom that unfolds.”
