How is the review of ‘Thama’ on social media?
It is the fifth installment of the horror-comedy universe of Maddock Films, which has previously given hits like ‘Stree’, ‘Bhediya’, ‘Roohi’ and ‘Munjya’. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film excels at emotion and family entertainment despite the supernatural backdrop, a formula that has often worked for Maddock’s previous releases. At the same time, those who watched the first day first show of ‘Thama’ are also sharing its review on social media and are also praising it a lot. Many have praised the acting of Rashmika, Ayushmann and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, while many have even called it a blockbuster film. Many have called it the perfect Diwali watch.

One wrote, “Deserves 4 stars, the main thing is the story, the first half is slow but deeply engaging and will take you back to grandma’s fairytale days. But be prepared. The second half is full of hair-raising twists, unexpected turns and a great cameo action entry.”

#Thamma Monstrous
Deserve 4 stars

The core is – storyline. 1st half is slow yet deeply connected and will take u back to those dadi ki kahani days. But brace yourself.

2nd half hits hard with spine chilling twists, unexpected turns and a mind-blowing cameo action entry

With how many crores can ‘Thama’ open?
Released on 4,000 screens across India, ‘Thamaa’ is single-handedly making waves at the box office this Diwali and is not facing much competition from Hindi cinema. Trade experts estimate that its opening will be Rs 30-32 crore, which is slightly less than last year’s Diwali hits like ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ and ‘Singham Returns’, but if the positive ‘word-of-mouth’ remains then its earnings can increase comfortably over the weekend.
