Although the film ‘Thama’ has not been able to get the tag of hit at the box office till now, but this film has become the reason due to which Maddock’s horror comedy universe has left Rohit Shetty’s strong action universe i.e. cop universe miles behind.

Due to this film of Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, a big record has been made which will give more strength to the universe culture of Bollywood in the coming days.

Horror comedy universe left cop universe miles behind.
Maddock’s horror comedy universe started in the year 2018 with Shraddha Kapoor’s film ‘Stree’. After this, films like Bhediya, Stree 2 and Munjya came. These films were seen all over the world including India. ‘Thama’ is also being seen all over the world and the film has earned Rs 205 crores worldwide.

Recently, a post was made from the official Insta handle of Maddock in which it has been told that all the films of this universe have made a worldwide gross collection of Rs 1500 crore. This is more than the total worldwide collection of all the films of Rohit Shetty’s cop universe.

From Chanderi to Moon, this journey of Maddock Horror Comedy Universe will always be remembered.

Here’s to 1500 crore moments of love and gratitude.#Thamma is running successfully in cinemas now. Book your tickets

Cop Universe lags behind in these matters

• The cop universe started in 2011 with the film Singham. That means 7 years before the beginning of the horror comedy universe. Despite that, the universe of ‘Thama’ went far ahead of it in terms of worldwide collection.
• 5-5 films of both the universes have been released. Despite having big stars like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan and Ranveer Singh in 3 films of Singham series and Suryavanshi-Simmba, the worldwide collection of these five films, according to Indian Express, earned Rs 1411 crore.

Spy universe remains the biggest challenge
The horror comedy universe may have left behind the cop universe, but it has not been able to leave behind the spy universe of Salman and Shahrukh Khan’s films. Actually, in the spy universe of Yash Raj Films, there are 3 films of Tiger series, two films of War series and 6 films including Pathan.

The worldwide collection of these 6 films is more than Rs 3100 crore. This means that to beat this universe, the horror comedy universe will have to earn more than 100 percent of the worldwide earnings so far.

However, in the coming days, films like Chamunda, Stree 3, Bhediya 2, Shaktishalini and Mahayudh 1 and 2 will also be released in this universe, which can take it closer to touching the total earnings of the Spy Universe.

Maddock’s film ‘Shakti Shalini’ is in discussion. Actress Aneet Padda will be seen in the film. Along with the film Thaama, the makers also shared the first look of Shakti Shalini. Before Anit was confirmed, there were reports that Kiara Advani would be seen in the film. But then news came that Anit replaced Kiara in the film. Now director-producer Amar Kaushik has reacted on this.

Did Anit replace Kiara?

While talking to Filmygyan, Amar Kaushik said that it was never the case that Kiara was signed for the film. Amar said, ‘Kiara Advani is a very beautiful actor. Nothing like this was confirmed. Don’t know how this news came out. I always want to work with Kiara. When you are writing the story, then you see who goes for this character. Meaning who fits. When Saira came, we were still in the writing process.

Amar Kaushik further said, ‘Kiara was never signed. It was always like who would be there. What I am saying is that we do not know some things and we do not know who knows what outside and from there someone leaks it.

Amar Kaushik’s films are very much liked. Fans gave a lot of love to his films Stree 2, Bhediya, Bala and Stree. The film Stree 2 was an all time blockbuster hit.

Talking about Anit, he made his Bollywood debut with YRF’s film Sayara. In this film she was in the role opposite Ahaan Pandey. Anit was liked a lot in the film Saiyara. Anit was discussed everywhere. Before this film, Anit has worked in many popular ads.

There are many different stories in the Maddock horror-comedy universe, but there are some characters who manage to make their place in every film. One such character is ‘Jana’. This character was first seen in the film ‘Stree’, but due to its popularity, it gradually became an important character connecting many films of the Maddock horror-comedy universe.

Actor Abhishek Banerjee, playing this character, spoke openly to IANS about the experience of this journey and the evolution of his character. Speaking to IANS, Abhishek Banerjee said, ‘The story of the progression of Jana’s character is natural and interesting. When I first played the role of Jana in Stree, I and the team did not know that this character would play such an important role in the upcoming films.

Jana’s character remained consistent in every film
Jana’s character grew and changed with each new film, but her original identity always remained the same. Abhishek considers this a special experience in his career because any actor rarely gets a chance to play the same character in so many films. Abhishek also praised the roles of the director and the writing team in the popularity of his character. He said- ‘Amar Kaushik, Dinesh Vijan, Niren Bhatt and the entire writing team have made Jaana important in every film.’ He has ensured that whether the film is ‘Stree’, ‘Bhediya’, ‘Munjya’ or ‘Thamaa’, Jana can fit herself into every story.

The magic of ‘Jaana’ remained in ‘Thama’ also
Abhishek said- ‘Every time I play the character of Jaana, I am amazed at how the team keeps the story connected in a fun way. Jana adapts to herself everywhere and it seems as if she is a part of this universe. Abhishek also played the role of Jana in the recently released Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s film ‘Thamaa’.

Regarding this, the actor said that he is very happy that the audience still likes to watch Jana and wants to be a part of her journey. Abhishek believes that Jaana’s journey is as unpredictable and entertaining as the entire Maddock horror-comedy universe. His character in every film gives a new experience and also makes the audience laugh.

Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s horror comedy universe film ‘Thamaa’ has been creating havoc at the box office every day since its release on October 21, but as the days progressed, the film’s earnings also started decreasing rapidly.

Since its release on weekdays, the film could not even touch the figure of Rs 6 crore on any day. However, as soon as the film entered the weekend today, it turned around again and captured the box office again. Along with this, it also got included in the top 10 highest grossing films of 2025.

Box office collection of ‘Thama’

‘Thama’ got the benefit of 10 days extended week and collected Rs 108.4 crore in the same number of days. The film’s earning on the 11th day was Rs 3 crore, but today i.e. on the 12th day an increase was seen.

Till 6:25 pm today, the film has collected Rs 2.6 crore and the total collection has reached Rs 114 crore. Please note that these figures available on SACNILC are not final. These may still change.

‘Thama’ included in top 10 grossing films of 2025

Fans were hoping that ‘Thama’ would soon be included in the list of top 10 grossing Hindi films of 2025 and this has happened today. The film has confirmed its place at number 10, leaving behind the last in the list, ‘Sky Force’ (113.62 crores).

Now the next target of the film is again Akshay Kumar’s ‘Jolly LLB 3’ which is at number 9 with Rs 117.01 crore.

How much will ‘Thama’ have to earn to become a hit?

According to the report of Times of India, this film, made under the direction of Aditya Sarpotdar, has been made with a budget of Rs 145 crore. According to the report of Saknilk, the film has also made a worldwide collection of Rs 155.25 crore in 11 days.

That is, the film has already made its budget, but to become a hit, the film will have to earn around Rs 140 crore more because the film can be included in the hit category only after earning double the budget. Obviously the film is still far away from the hit tag.
