The wait is almost over! The advance bookings for this year’s big Diwali release, Thamma, have started, and the response from the audience has been fantastic. Bookings opened this morning, and within just a few hours, tickets started selling quickly in major cities all over India.
Starring a fresh and exciting pair, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, along with the brilliant Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Thamma is the latest entry in Dinesh Vijan‘s popular Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. This is the same universe that gave us massive hits like Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya, so the excitement is already high. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film promises a perfect mix of horror, comedy, and romance that seems to be hitting the right notes with the public.

Trade Experts Give A Thumbs Up
The solid start for Thamma is not just visible to the audience; trade experts are also very positive about the film’s chances. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared his thoughts, saying, “Thamma has all the makings of a festive winner. The advance booking response is solid, and the buzz is translating into footfalls.” He also pointed out that the combination of the Maddock Horror Comedy brand and the big Diwali holiday gives the film a very strong position at the box office.
This positive feeling is shared by major ticketing platforms. Ashish Saxena, who is the COO of Cinemas at BookMyShow, added, “The momentum for Thamma is picking up fast. Ticket sales began on a strong note, and we’re seeing steady traction across metros and tier-2 markets alike. Audiences are clearly looking forward to a big-screen entertainer this Diwali.”
The Perfect Festive Entertainer
Everything seems to be working in favor of Thamma. It has the perfect release timing during the Diwali holidays when families are looking for entertainment. The music of the film is already popular and has high recall value, and the chatter on social media is growing every day.
All these factors, combined with the strong advance booking numbers, show that Thamma is getting ready for a powerful start at the box office. The buzz is real, and the numbers are proving it. This one looks like a true Diwali dhamaka for movie lovers.
