The trailer for Thama is out, and it’s already set the internet abuzz! It’s like Diwali for horror-comedy fans—all eyes are on Maddock Films’ next blockbuster. Maddock Films’ Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya—add “Thama” to their roster. The anticipation for the film has only gotten more intense. Maddock’s horror-comedy universe truly delivers something new every time.

Thama Trailer Launch Event

The trailer of Rashmika Mandanna and Ayushmann Khurrana’s new film “Thama” took the internet by storm on Friday. The trailer for “Thama” was released on Friday. The trailer launch event was held in Bandra, Mumbai. This is the fifth film in Maddock’s horror-comedy universe. Previously, “Stree,” “Bhediya,” “Munjya,” and “Stree 2” have both made audiences laugh and scare.

Brief glimpses of the trailer: What did it actually show?

The trailer packs everything in – romance, horror, gore, and yes, that odd joke thrown in every now and then.

Now, a few points that really stand out:

Vampire and witchcraft vibe: The director seems to have mixed the entire spice of vampire stories into the trailer. It’s labeled a horror-comedy, but it’s a mix of love story and strange supernatural elements – a complete time-pass.

The trailer, however, showed everything, leaving out the plot. As for the rest, I enjoyed watching it – we’ll find out what the film will be like when it releases in theatres.

Romance and conflict:

The trailer hints at a deep love story between Alok (Ayushmann) and Rashmika, but there will be many obstacles and conflicts between them—possibly the fact that they come from two different worlds.

Cameos and Interconnections

The trailer also features a special appearance by Varun Dhawan, connecting his role to this universe connected to Bhediya.

The trailer’s first dialogue is revealing.

Rashmika’s dialogue at the beginning of the trailer: “Hey Nawaz, you’ve been sent to protect the Earth and humanity. These villainous acts don’t seem right.” Then Nawazuddin replies: “Protection for an hour. That’s such a solid punch! If the king can be an hour, what’s security?”

Modern Time Travel – 1000 Years Back in 2025

Then the real game begins! Time travel begins. In 2025, Ayushmann enters a cave and Nawazuddin, who has been sitting there for 1000 years, appears before him – vampire style, seemingly unchanging. It seems like, after seeing Ayushmann’s condition, he’ll say, “Let’s turn him into a demon too, let’s add some spice.” And then the same scene as in Bhediya – the family is devastated, Ayushmann’s sharp teeth, Paresh Rawal’s brilliant one-liner – giving off Doctor Ghunghru vibes.

Thama Movie Cast Fees

Looking at the figures, Ayushmann Khurrana was paid 8-10 crores, Rashmika Mandanna 5-7 crores, Nawazuddin Siddiqui 3-4 crores, and Paresh Rawal around 2 crores. The direction is handled by Aditya Sarpodar, who has a proven track record—making blockbusters like Munja for 30 crores and delivering box office returns of 130 crores.

Thama Movie Release Date and Marketing

Thama Movie Releases on Diwali, October 21, 2025.
So far, the four films in the Stree Universe have a total budget of 195 crores, but box office collections have exceeded 1300 crores. Stree 2 alone has reached close to 900 crores. Industry expectations are that Thama can easily generate at least 500 crores in business—especially given its Diwali release, brand value, and crossover potential.

Public Reaction

As soon as the trailer was released, discussions on social media platforms began to swirl.

Fans have responded positively to Varun Dhawan’s new avatar—many believe that his look is even more serious and impressive than in “Bhediya.”

Some viewers have compared a scene in the trailer to a scene from the Korean web drama “My Demon,” sparking debate on social media about whether it’s merely an inspiration or a copy.

The film’s cinematography, editing, and musical elements have received positive attention on social media. Many users find the trailer’s tone and visual style reminiscent of “dark romantic horror” films.

At the same time, some critics have expressed concern that the trailer has raised audience expectations too much—if the film doesn’t live up to that standard, they may be disappointed.

Overall, both social media and audience reactions clearly indicate that both curiosity and anticipation about the film remain high.
