About the Film
‘Thamma’ marks the fifth movie in the successful Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, joining the ranks of popular films like ‘Stree,’ ‘Bhediya,’ and ‘Munjya.’ Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, the film delves into vampire lore, with Ayushmann Khurrana playing a man who transforms into a vampire and finds himself in a captivating romance with Rashmika Mandanna’s character. The film is being lauded as a unique blend of horror and comedy, promising a delightful cinematic experience for families.
Ayushmann Khurrana, in a statement, shared his excitement about the character, stating, “My character is neither ‘Stree’ nor ‘Bhediya’. He is not even Munjya. He is ‘Thama’ or ‘Betaal’. This is completely different. The film will take the legacy of Maddock’s Horror Comedy Universe forward. It is also a perfect family entertainer. The horror has been presented in such a way that the kids can also digest it easily.”
Furthermore, the Hindustan Times review highlighted the film’s strengths, noting, “There’s genuine chemistry between Ayushmann and Rashmika. The interval point comes at the right time, and then the second half turns into a roller coaster ride, one filled with the critical integrations with the other films of the MHCU. Weaving the story into the mythological tale of Rakhtbeej is a masterstroke, and that explains why I mentioned MHCU as the only Indian film universe getting things correct.”
