Thamma is looking to collect around Rs. 3.50 crore to Rs. 3.75 crore on its second Wednesday. The vampire comedy drama, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, has banger the Rs. 100 crore mark. The purchase-One-Get-One offer was activated on Wednesday, which helped it record a good hold at the box office. It became the 5th film of Ayushmann Khurrana to enter the Rs. 100 crore club. Previously, Badhaai Ho, Dream shorty, Bala, and Dream shorty 2 achieved this feat.
Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the new outing of Maddock’s horror-comedy universe needs to show strong trends ahead to sail through a successful theatrical run. The movie should aim for a good jump in the second weekend, as there is no significant release, except a couple of re-releases, with SS Rajamouli‘s Baahubali: The Epic being a major one. A couple of other movies which are making their way to cinemas include Dil Se, Devdas, Om Shanti Om, Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa, Main Hoon Na, Chennai Express, and Jawan. These movies are returning to the cinemas as part of the Shah Rukh Khan film festival, to celebrate the birthday week of King Khan.
Having said that, these films will not have much impact on Thamma. The Ayushmann Khurrana starrer has a clean run until Ajay Devgn’s De De Pyaar De 2 release on November 14. If it manages to capitalize on the long free run, the movie will cross the lifetime earnings of Stree, which did Rs. 124 crore net back in 2018.
Seeing the current trends, the vampire-comedy has the potential to make a sum of Rs. 140 crore or so in its entire theatrical run in Hindi, depending on how it performs further with BOGO offers. The numbers are fine for the cast and cost involved, but for the IP benefit involved and festival release, it needed to be better.
