Rashmika’s Horror Romcom Hits Screens Tomorrow
Actress Rashmika Mandanna is all set to light up the big screen this Diwali with her latest film Thamma, releasing nationwide on October 21. The movie blends horror, comedy, and romance, promising a festive treat for audiences across India.
Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, Thamma is the fifth installment in Maddock Films’ popular horror-comedy universe. The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Paresh Rawal, and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles.
Set against a supernatural backdrop, Thamma explores vampire mythology with a humorous twist. Rashmika plays a quirky character caught between love and chaos, while Ayushmann’s role adds depth and energy to the narrative.
The film’s budget is estimated at ₹145 crore, and it aims to push Maddock’s horror-comedy franchise past the ₹1,000 crore mark at the Indian box office. Previous hits like Stree, Bhediya, Munjya, and Stree 2 have already earned ₹930 crore collectively.
Rashmika has been actively promoting the film, sharing workout videos and playful posts on social media. Her recent clip skipping dessert ahead of the release has gone viral, showcasing her dedication and festive spirit.
Advance bookings for Thamma have begun, with over one lakh tickets already sold across Hindi and Telugu versions. Despite a slow start, industry insiders expect momentum to build as Diwali approaches.
The film’s trailer received positive feedback, with viewers praising its blend of suspense, humor, and visual effects. Early reviews describe Thamma as a “total entertainer” and highlight Rashmika’s performance as one of her most vibrant yet.
Ayushmann Khurrana, known for his unconventional roles, adds charm and unpredictability to the storyline. His chemistry with Rashmika is expected to be a highlight of the film.
The music of Thamma features catchy tracks, including “Tum Mere Na Huye,” which Rashmika used in her viral workout video. The soundtrack blends eerie tones with festive beats, enhancing the film’s mood.
Cinemas across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and other regions are gearing up for packed shows. The film’s Telugu dubbed version is expected to perform well, especially in urban centers.
With Diwali being a peak season for moviegoers, Thamma faces competition from other releases like Son of Sardaar 2 and Kesari Chapter 2. However, its unique genre and star cast give it a strong edge.
Fans of Rashmika are eagerly awaiting her performance, and social media is buzzing with countdowns and fan edits. The actress has built a loyal following across languages, making her one of the most bankable stars today.
As the release date nears, promotional events and media interactions are intensifying. The cast is expected to appear on popular talk shows and digital platforms to boost visibility.
Thamma is not just a film—it’s a festive experience that blends thrills, laughter, and heart. Whether you’re a fan of horror or romance, this movie promises something for everyone.
Theaters are ready, fans are excited, and Rashmika Mandanna is all set to deliver another memorable performance. Diwali 2025 might just belong to Thamma.
