After Day 17 added only a marginal amount and took the India net total to just shy of ₹124 crore, Day 18 brings another modest contribution, further cementing the trend of small-town endurance rather than metro momentum.
Day 18 Estimate & Tally
On Day 18, earnings are estimated to linger in the sub-₹0.10 crore zone — likely around ₹0.08–0.10 crore — resulting in an approximate domestic net total of ₹124.0-124.1 crore. With multiplexes largely wrapped up, the film’s remaining collections are now coming almost entirely from Tier-2/3 centres and single-screen circuits.
The Late-Run Picture
With the film now deep into its third week, the pattern is clear: a sharp drop from its earlier days, followed by a long tail of sub-₹1 crore weekdays. Day 16 reported roughly ₹0.11 crore and Day 17 around ₹0.09 crore, so the Day 18 figure follows the expected decline. The fact that the film continues to collect, however minutely, shows there is still minimal footfall in smaller centres
Why It Still Matters
* The genre—horror-comedy packaged with the brand value of the “Maddock Horror Comedy Universe”—ensured a strong start, and now its hold in non-metropolitan belts keeps it afloat.
* The presence of stars like Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna helped draw initial audiences; the very late run is driven by remaining pockets of attendance rather than fresh buzz.
* For a film that is now expanding into its tertiary markets, crossing the ₹ 120-crore mark is already an achievement in 2025’s competitive climate.
Final Run Projection
Given the current trajectory, the final India net tally is expected to settle around ₹125–130 crore. Unless a sharp spike occurs in the upcoming weekend (which is unlikely), the film will wrap its primary theatrical run without significantly exceeding this range.
In summary, Day 18 does not show any dramatic resurgence; however, the film’s ability to persist into Day 18 and maintain a respectable cumulative total is noteworthy. Thamma may not be rewriting box-office records, but its longevity and modest performance in a crowded marketplace reflect a film that found its core audience and stayed visible.
