The box office success of 'Thamma' is a thrilling tale, especially for its lead actor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui! But is it a hit with everyone?
Aditya Sarpotdar's horror-comedy, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, has grossed an impressive ₹104 crore net in India, just nine days after its release on October 21. This success is even more significant considering the film's genre and the fact that it's the second-highest earner in its franchise.
Here's the breakdown of its earnings: the film opened with a robust ₹24 crore, and its first-week collection stood at ₹95.6 crore. However, the numbers have slightly dipped since, with an estimated ₹3.25 crore on the ninth day, bringing the total to ₹104.60 crore.
But here's where it gets personal. Nawazuddin Siddiqui shared his excitement as 'Thamma' is the first film his children can watch. He said, "The world we shot the film in is one we've only read about in fairy tales. And with the kind of films I usually do, my kids can't watch them. This is the first one they can!"
And this is the part most people miss—the film's success is not just about numbers. It's about creating a family-friendly experience, a rare feat for horror-comedies. But does this mean it's a perfect film for all ages? That's a question for the audience.
What do you think? Is 'Thamma' a horror-comedy that truly appeals to all generations, or does it fall short in some aspects? Share your thoughts in the comments!
