2025 has truly marked a milestone year for Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films – known for its storytelling, creative risk-taking, and consistent entertainment. This year, Maddock delivered an eclectic mix of films, spanning historical sagas, patriotic thrillers, and heartfelt romances. Now, as the year draws to a close, the banner is all set to return to its signature genre with the much-awaited horror comedy, Thamma. Here’s a look at Maddock’s exceptional slate this year:
1. Chhaava
A grand historical drama that vividly brought the legacy of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj to the silver screen, Chhaava was nothing short of an epic. Featuring stellar performances by Vicky Kaushal, Akshaye Khanna, and Rashmika Mandanna, alongside majestic visuals and a strong narrative, the film reaffirmed Maddock’s prowess in delivering large-scale, emotionally resonant cinema.
2. Sky Force
Set against the backdrop of India’s air defense, Sky Force combined real-life heroism with intense action. Soaring high on patriotism, the film saluted the unsung heroes of the Indian Air Force while keeping audiences hooked with its thrilling narrative. With impactful performances by Akshay Kumar, Veer Pahariya, Sara Ali Khan, and Nimrat Kaur, it became a favourite among action and patriotic cinema enthusiasts.
3. Bhool Chuk Maaf
In classic Maddock fashion, Bhool Chuk Maaf revisited the simplicity and warmth of small-town India. A blend of humor, nostalgia, and heartfelt emotions, this romantic drama – with a quirky time-travel twist – reminded audiences that beautifully told simple stories never fail to connect. Starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, the film echoed the charm of Maddock’s earlier crowd-pleasers.
4. Tehran
Venturing into the tense and strategic world of espionage, Tehran showcased Maddock’s flair for creating taut, intelligent thrillers. Headlined by John Abraham in one of his most gripping performances, the film offered a perfect mix of suspense, style, and substance, cementing its place as one of the most compelling political thrillers of the year.
5. Param Sundari
Starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, Param Sundari emerged as Maddock Films’ latest romantic gem. This cross-cultural love story celebrated human connection beyond borders and stood out for its soulful narrative, emotional depth, and refreshing on-screen chemistry. It quickly became one of the most beloved love stories of recent times.
6. Thamma
Capping off an extraordinary year, Maddock returns to its home turf – the horror-comedy universe – with Thamma. Seamlessly mixing spine-chilling moments with trademark humour, the film reaffirms that no one does spooky fun better than Maddock Films. Featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal, Thamma marks the next chapter in the ever-expanding Maddock Horror Universe.
From sweeping epics to supernatural laughter, 2025 has truly established Maddock Films as one of Bollywood’s most versatile and genre-defining production powerhouses. This Diwali, audiences can expect more than fireworks – because Thamma promises a celebration dipped in blood. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film is slated for a grand release on October 21.
