Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's film *Thamma* crossed the Rs 5 crore mark in advance booking on its first day, signaling a strong opening ahead of its Diwali release on October 21, 2025[3][8]. The film sold over 15,000 tickets in major national chains like PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis with two and a half days left before release, indicating high audience interest[3]. *Thamma* is a horror comedy directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (Mhcu). It features a star-studded ensemble cast including Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal[1][6]. The film is poised for a significant box office performance during the festive Diwali season, with expectations that it might challenge top Diwali openers historically dominated by Salman Khan films. To break into the top 5 Diwali openers, *Thamma* would need to surpass approximately Rs 40 crore in opening collections[2]. Ayushmann Khurrana's previous biggest opener was *Dream Girl 2*, which earned Rs 10.69 crore on day one[4]. Given the early advance booking figures for *Thamma*, it is expected to potentially surpass this benchmark. Promotional activities began vigorously in Delhi, with the main cast and producer Dinesh Vijan making a grand appearance to boost visibility and audience excitement[6]. In summary, *Thamma* is off to a strong start with Rs 5 crore plus advance booking on day one, significant ticket sales in top cinemas, a strong cast, and high expectations for a big Diwali box office impact[3][8].
