October 29, 2025 : The horror-comedy blockbuster Thamma, featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, has marked a major box-office milestone on Day 8 of its release: the film has crossed the ₹100 crore domestic net collection mark just over a week after its theatrical debut. According to industry trackers, the total stands at approximately ₹101.10 crore in India as of Tuesday (Day 8).
Released on October 21, 2025 (coinciding with the Diwali festive window) and directed by Aditya Sarpotdar under the banner of Maddock Films, Thamma is the fifth installment in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU).The film’s strong run has not only secured it entry into the coveted “₹100 crore club” in under two weeks, but also positioned it to surpass the lifetime performance of its predecessor Munjya. Many trade analysts are now expecting Thamma to overtake Munjya’s domestic net collection—currently cited at around ₹101.6 crore — and extend further.
Day-by-day and performance details
The film opened with a healthy Day 1 net of roughly ₹24 crore. In the following days the collection trajectory was: Day 2 ~₹18.6 crore, Day 3 ~₹13 crore, Day 4 ~₹10 crore, Day 5 ~₹13.1 crore, Day 6 ~₹12.6 crore, Day 7 ~₹4.3 crore, and Day 8 ~₹5.5 crore. The uptick on Day 8 (compared to Day 7) was attributed to strategic promotions such as a discounted ticket offer (₹99 tickets in certain markets) and the fact that the film rode the extended Diwali audience surge.
One tracker noted the Day 8 occupancy patterns: morning shows at ~7.87 %, afternoon ~16.37 %, evening ~20.29 % and night shows peaking at ~29.59 %. The night show strength in particular signals strong word-of-mouth and favourable reception in metros.
Why this matters
Crossing the ₹100 crore net mark in such a short span is significant for several reasons:
- It reinforces Ayushmann Khurrana’s growing box-office pull — this becomes his fifth film to cross ₹100 crore, after titles such as Dream Girl 2.
- For Maddock Films and the Horror Comedy Universe, it continues the success streak — with four out of the five films now entering the ₹100 crore club.
- In the context of 2025 Hindi-film releases, this positions Thamma among the year’s bigger commercial successes.
- It raises the ceiling for the supernatural/romantic-horror genre, especially when paired with strong star cast and festive release timing.
Upcoming challenge: Beating Munjya and beyond
Munjya, released in 2024 as part of the same universe, had a domestic net collection around the same mark. With Thamma already at ~₹101 crore and with continuing runs, it is expected to overtake Munjya in the domestic chart soon. In fact, some analysts project the final tally could range between ₹115-₹125 crore domestically, and perhaps upwards of ₹140 crore when global/overseas numbers are factored.
The film has also performed well overseas — its worldwide tally after eight days is estimated at around ₹140 crore.
What’s driving the film’s success?
- Timing: a Diwali release gave it a big initial window.
- Genre + appeal: A horror-comedy with romance and supernatural elements, which caters to wide audience demographics including families.
- Star cast: Ayushmann Khurrana + Rashmika Mandanna draw across segments.
- Promotions & ticketing: Strategic discounts and strong presence in key markets.
- Franchise strength: Being part of the MHCU universe gives built-in audience interest and loyalty.
Potential risks / watch-points
- Sustaining weekday performance in the second week is always a challenge; while Day 8 improved, Day 7 dipped substantially (~₹4.3 crore).
- Competition: While there’s a lull in major Hindi releases currently, regional releases or holiday season films could pose threats.
- Overseas markets: The 100 crore mark is mostly domestic net; the global haul, while strong, has yet to match the highest marks of some other MHCU titles.
Final take
Thamma’s entry into the ₹100 crore Club in just eight days is a solid benchmark — signalling not just commercial success but franchise momentum. If it overtakes Munjya and charts further upward, it could set new records for the universe and strengthen both Ayushmann’s commercial bank and Maddock’s genre credentials. For the Indian film industry, it shows that genre films with the right mix of star, timing and word-of-mouth still hold strong box-office potential.
Summary
Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s Diwali release Thamma crossed ₹100 crore domestically in eight days, enters the ₹100 crore club and is poised to surpass its universe predecessor Munjya.
