Ayushmann Khurrana’s Thamma has been one of the most talked-about releases of the season, blending humour, horror, and heartfelt emotions into a crowd-pleasing entertainer. After delivering an exceptional first week, the film saw a noticeable dip in its collections on the eighth day, marking the start of its second-week performance.
According to early trade estimates, Thamma earned around ₹0.26 crore (net) on its eighth day across India. This brings its total domestic collection to approximately ₹96 crore, an impressive feat for a horror-comedy in a competitive release window. The film had opened strongly with ₹24 crore on Day 1, followed by ₹18.6 crore and ₹13 crore over the next two days. The first weekend momentum carried through the weekdays as well, taking the total close to the ₹95 crore mark by the end of its first week.
The sharp fall on Day 8 is typical of post-weekend trends, especially after such a front-loaded performance. Still, the film’s massive first-week earnings have already made it one of the top-grossing horror-comedies in recent years. The audience response remains largely positive, with many praising Ayushmann’s effortless comic timing and Rashmika Mandanna’s natural charm.
The film’s mix of relatable family emotions and light horror continues to resonate with both multiplex and family audiences. While the dip in collections signals that the initial wave of excitement has cooled, the film’s strong word-of-mouth could help it sustain through the upcoming weekend.
With just a few crores short of entering the ₹100 crore club, Thamma is expected to cross the milestone within the next few days. Even with the slowdown, the film stands as a clear winner, reaffirming Ayushmann Khurrana’s knack for picking unconventional yet crowd-friendly stories that connect with the masses.
