Ayushmann Khurrana’s latest release has posted a decisive Diwali run, with industry trackers estimating “Thamma” crossed the ₹100 crore mark in India by day eight and is trending upward despite a crowded slate. Multiple box office dashboards and media outlets pegged Tuesday’s take in the mid-₹5 crore range, pushing the film past the century mark domestically, while worldwide collections are being reported around ₹140 crore through the first eight days.
The horror-comedy, headlined by Khurrana opposite Rashmika Mandanna, has benefited from strong holiday footfall and weekday price promotions that lifted admissions midweek. Trade updates earlier signaled a career-best opening day for Khurrana at approximately ₹24–25 crore, setting the pace for the film’s sustained hold through its first week.
Competitive pressure has been notable, yet “Thamma” has outperformed several 2025 Hindi titles to climb the yearly rankings. Recent tallies place it among the year’s higher earners, with conversations now turning to whether it can leapfrog into the top ten as it adds second-week receipts.
Khurrana framed the response as a signal that festive audiences will turn up for fresher concepts, crediting the film’s appeal across family crowds and genre fans. That narrative aligns with a broader trend this year of mid-to-large scale Hindi releases converting strong openings into durable runs when aided by positive word of mouth and tactical pricing.
Industry trackers also highlight the film’s ecosystem impact. By day six, coverage noted it had contributed to a milestone for recent horror-comedy offerings, while day-eight figures suggest the film is now pacing ahead of comparable titles from earlier in the year. With weekday multipliers still healthy and premium screens intact heading into the second weekend, distributors are watching whether “Thamma” can consolidate gains against new entrants and maintain momentum in tier-2 and tier-3 circuits where post-holiday drops can be sharper.
