Thamma box office collection day 6 has given Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna a Diwali to remember. The vampire comedy earned Rs 13 crore on its first Sunday, taking its India total to Rs 91.70 crore in just six days — and suddenly the Rs 100 crore club, which looked a long way off on Friday, is right in front of it.
Released on 21 October 2026, Thamma opened huge on Diwali, dipped through the weekdays, and then did exactly what a well-liked film is supposed to do: it bounced back over the weekend. The first Sunday alone added Rs 13 crore, and the film’s first weekend (Friday to Sunday) closed at Rs 36.1 crore, according to trade tracker Sacnilk. For a film that many wrote off as a risky experiment — a bloody love story about vampires, inside a horror-comedy universe — those are numbers worth celebrating.
Thamma Box Office Collection: The Day-Wise Breakdown
The day-wise journey of the Thamma box office collection tells its own story. Thamma opened at Rs 24 crore on Tuesday, the day after Diwali, when families were still in festive mood. Wednesday brought Rs 18.6 crore, a gentle slide rather than a fall. Thursday, the Bhai Dooj holiday, added Rs 13 crore. Then came the real test: Friday, the first ordinary working day, dipped to Rs 10 crore.
That Friday number worried some trade watchers. A Rs 10 crore Friday after a Rs 24 crore opening can be the start of a slide. But Thamma refused to slide. Saturday jumped to Rs 13.1 crore, a 31 percent rise over Friday, and Sunday held firm at Rs 13 crore. Add it all up — 24, 18.6, 13, 10, 13.1, 13 — and the India net total after six days stands at Rs 91.70 crore.
The Weekend That Changed the Story
Weekends decide the fate of most Bollywood films, and Thamma’s first weekend did more than steady the ship — it changed the conversation around the film. Sunday recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of around 23 percent, with evening shows doing the heaviest business. Chennai led the city charts with nearly 48 percent occupancy, followed by Bengaluru and Jaipur, while Mumbai, Pune and Delhi-NCR stayed strong through the weekend.
What makes the Thamma box office collection recovery interesting is the competition. Thamma is sharing screens with Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 and Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa’s Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, both of which are drawing their own crowds. Holding a Rs 13 crore Sunday in a three-way clash is not a small achievement, and it suggests the film’s word of mouth is doing the heavy lifting now that the Diwali rush is over.
Thamma Crosses Bhediya and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari
By Saturday, the Thamma box office collection had already passed two milestones that matter inside the Maddock universe. It crossed the lifetime India collection of Varun Dhawan’s Bhediya, which finished at Rs 68.99 crore, and it went past Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari at Rs 60.35 crore. Both films belong to the same extended family of Maddock releases, so beating them in six days is a statement in itself.
The worldwide side of the Thamma box office collection is even brighter. Thamma crossed Rs 100 crore globally within five days of release, and Livemint reports a worldwide gross of Rs 122.5 crore so far, including Rs 12.5 crore from overseas markets. For a horror-comedy built around a relatively new pairing, that international pull is a bonus the makers will be quietly pleased about.
A Bloody Love Story Inside the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe
Thamma is the fifth film in Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, following Stree, Bhediya, Munjya and Stree 2, but it plays by slightly different rules. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, who made Munjya, it is less a straight horror-comedy and more a supernatural romance with mythological roots. Ayushmann Khurrana plays Alok, an ordinary man who stumbles into a cave and wakes up changed — bloodshot eyes, no pulse, sunlight burning his skin. Rashmika Mandanna plays Tadaka, the woman who revives a thousand-year-old legend, while Nawazuddin Siddiqui is Yakshasan, a betaal who was meant to protect humans but chose power instead. Paresh Rawal plays Alok’s father, desperate to cure his son, and Sapthami Gowda features in a key role.
The trailer, released on 26 September 2026, runs just under three minutes and packs in everything from a vampire transformation to a full-blown mythological war. It also hides a treat for universe fans: Varun Dhawan returns as Bhediya in a cameo, and Nora Fatehi makes a special appearance. Shraddha Kapoor, the face of Stree, unveiled the universe’s new visual identity at the trailer launch in Mumbai. Sachin-Jigar compose the music, and early reviews have been warm — Koimoi gave the film four stars, calling it a masaledaar Diwali entertainer.
The Rs 100 Crore Question: What Happens on Monday?
The big question for the Thamma box office collection now is the Monday test. Trade watchers quoted by Top10ETNews note that Thamma should enter the Rs 100 crore club by the end of its opening week, unless the first Monday brings a sharp fall. The weekend recovery makes that outcome look likely, but Monday is when festive audiences return to work and only genuine word of mouth keeps the collections alive.
If the film holds even half its Sunday number on Monday, the Thamma box office collection will cross Rs 100 crore in India within a day or two, and the conversation will shift from “will it cross Rs 100 crore?” to “how far past it can it go?” The second weekend, with no major new Hindi release until 30 October, gives Thamma a clear run. Films like Pyre, Nakhrewaalii, Cult and Meethe Mein Kya Hai arrive on 30 October, so Thamma has four more days to build its total before fresh competition shows up. For a closer look at one of those upcoming releases, read our piece on Pyre, the Vinod Kapri drama releasing on 30 October.
Thamma OTT Release Date: Not Announced Yet
One question fans keep asking is when Thamma will arrive on OTT. As of now, the makers have not announced an OTT release date or a streaming platform. That is normal for a film still doing strong business in theatres — producers usually wait until the theatrical run slows down before confirming a digital premiere. Expect an announcement only after the box office run settles, and check back here for the update when it comes.

Six days in, Thamma has already beaten two Maddock stablemates, crossed Rs 100 crore worldwide, and turned a worrying Friday into a weekend worth remembering. The Rs 100 crore India milestone is now a matter of days, not weeks. For a bloody love story that many doubted, that is a very good place to be.
