It was predicted in this column that Thamma will take an opening of Rs. 25-30 crores on Tuesday, the big Diwali holiday. Well, this is exactly what happened as the film managed a very good start of Rs. 25.11 crores. A start on top of Rs. 20 crores was always on the cards and once the advance booking opened, a number close to Rs. 25 crores was there for the taking. Add to that the Diwali holiday and you know that spot booking will come into action as well as families venture out for celebrations and festivities.
As a result, the collections have come out to be quite positive and now it’s all about sustaining in & around these numbers for rest of the extended weekend till Sunday. Basically, the job is done for the film despite a very high budget for the star cast and positive reports imply that there is a lot of distance that this horror comedy offering would be able to cover in the open season ahead.
Of course, considering the fact that it’s Diwali and there is a very wide release that the film managed to get, one could well have placed a bet on Rs. 30-35 crores as well. However, one needs to also take into consideration the fact that the film doesn’t feature any of the top superstars and for Ayushmann Khurrana too, this is more than double of his biggest opener till date. The actor had a huge success ratio for multiplex films pre-pandemic and while post-pandemic he did score with Dream Girl 2, it’s Thamma which is his first truly all-India Bollywood biggie. He is now set for his first Rs. 200 Crore Club superhit and that’s a major jump start indeed.
