Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s upcoming horror-comedy “Thamma” is gearing up for a massive opening at the Indian box office this Diwali. Part of Maddock Films’ popular Horror Comedy Universe, the film has generated strong pre-release buzz. With its festive release, Thamma is expected to comfortably make it into Maddock’s top 5 biggest openers of all time.
Maddock Films’ Growing Dominance In Bollywood
Over the years, Maddock Films has become one of Bollywood’s most successful and reliable production houses. Especially in the post-COVID era, the studio has delivered multiple blockbusters and record-breaking openings.
Leading the list of Maddock’s biggest openers is “Stree 2”, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, which collected a massive ₹64.8 crore on day one. It is followed by Vicky Kaushal’s “Chhaava”, which opened with ₹33.1 crore in India.
Stree 2 and Chhaava Dominate, Sky Force Holds Third Spot
In Maddock’s top openings chart, Akshay Kumar’s “Sky Force” holds the third position with ₹15.3 crore on its first day.
Next comes Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan’s “Love Aaj Kal” with ₹12.4 crore, while Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty’s “Cocktail” takes the fifth spot with ₹10.75 crore.
Top 5 Openers Of Maddock Films (India Net Collection)
| Rank | Film | Day 1 Collection |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Stree 2 | ₹64.8 Crore |
| 2 | Chhaava | ₹33.1 Crore |
| 3 | Sky Force | ₹15.3 Crore |
| 4 | Love Aaj Kal | ₹12.4 Crore |
| 5 | Cocktail | ₹10.75 Crore |
Thamma To Secure A Spot In Maddock’s Top 5 Openers
With strong advance bookings and the advantage of a festive Diwali release, Thamma is expected to earn around ₹15 crore on its opening day. If that happens, it will easily surpass Cocktail and Love Aaj Kal, entering Maddock Films’ top 5 openers list.
With slightly higher footfalls, it could even challenge Sky Force for the third position. However, Stree 2 and Chhaava are likely to retain their top two spots by a significant margin.
Conclusion
Featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal, Thamma is poised to light up the Diwali weekend with a strong start. If audience word-of-mouth remains positive, the film could become one of Maddock Films’ biggest hits and a defining success for Ayushmann Khurrana in recent years.
