Film.”Thamma” ignites Diwali mania in Delhi
Delhi was a witness to an unforgettable night as fans numbering thousands emerged as segment of a new Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU) tradition – the first public screening of film “Thamma”. It was for the very first time in Indian cinema, that fans got to experience the first 20 minutes of the film before anyone else, scripting an historic moment.
Comedians Biswa Kalyan Rath and Divay Agarwal organised event night turned out to be electrifying — with Biswa’s razor-sharp humor, special appearances from MHCU’s Bhediya and Stree, and Delhi’s roaring crowd setting the perfect tone.
At the event, producer Dinesh Vijan addressed the audience, saying that this is just the beginning of a fan ritual. From now on, fans will have a peek of the film before the world. They are building a universe that belongs to its fans.
The first 20 minutes left fans laughing, cheering, and were on the edge of their seats, with the loudest applause reserved for Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s on-screen appearance. The event also saw cinematic icons Paresh Rawal, Rashmika Mandanna, Ayushmann Khurrana, director Aditya Sarpotdar, and the Thamma team taking the centre stage.
Adding to the excitement, advance bookings for the film opened on Friday morning, and the response has been phenomenal. Tickets are already selling rapidly across major cities, with morning shows filling fast and strong traction visible across both metros and tier-2 markets.
According toTrade analyst Taran Adarsh “Thamma has all the makings of a festive winner. The advance booking response is solid, and the buzz is translating into footfalls. With the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe brand and the Diwali advantage, this one’s positioned very strongly at the box office.”
Ashish Saksena, COO – Cinemas, BookMyShow, adds, “Advance bookings opened this morning and picked up quickly. They are seeing strong demand across regions, and morning and evening shows are already filling fast. Audiences are much excited for a big-screen Diwali entertainer.
Featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the Aditya Sarpotdar direcrorial”Thamma”
blends horror, comedy, and romance in a way that’s already connecting with audiences. With festive timing, high recall for its music, and growing social chatter, the film is poised for a powerful Diwali opening weekend.
The Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik produced Thamma hits the screen worldwide on 21 October.
