Thamma, the much-awaited Diwali release from Maddock Films, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal, is just four days away from hitting the big screens. The film has already generated strong buzz thanks to its stellar cast, festive timing, and Maddock’s proven track record with high-concept entertainers.
For Rashmika Mandanna, this release could be career-defining — as Thamma offers her a rare opportunity to create Bollywood history.
Rashmika’s Rise to Pan-India Stardom
Since the phenomenal success of Pushpa: The Rise, Rashmika Mandanna has become one of the most sought-after actresses across industries. In 2025 alone, she has delivered two major Hindi releases — Chhaava and Sikandar.
-
Chhaava turned into a historic blockbuster, minting a whopping ₹615.39 crore.
-
Sikandar may have underperformed critically but still collected ₹129.95 crore at the box office.
With these two films, Rashmika’s total 2025 Bollywood box office tally stands at ₹745.34 crore — making her just ₹254.66 crore short of the iconic ₹1000 crore mark in a single year.
If Thamma performs as expected, she could become the first-ever Indian actress to achieve this milestone.
The Thamma Buzz: Maddock’s Winning Formula
Thamma carries the hallmark of Maddock Films’ Horror Comedy Universe, which earlier delivered massive hits like Stree 2 and Chhaava. The trailer promises a quirky blend of horror, humor, and emotion — something that has worked wonders for the production house in the past.
The timing couldn’t be better either — a Diwali release ensures family audiences, strong footfalls, and high repeat value. Add to that the excitement around rumored special cameos, and Thamma looks perfectly positioned to become a box office winner.
If the content connects with audiences, Thamma could very well surpass trade expectations and continue Maddock’s hot streak of festival blockbusters.
