For the first time in Indian cinema, fans became part of history as Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films unveiled the first 20 minutes of their upcoming horror-comedy Thamma — before the rest of the world.

Hosted by comedians Biswa Kalyan Rath and Divay Agarwal, the night was pure madness — with Biswa’s razor-sharp humor, special wild entries by MHCU’s Bhediya and Stree, and Delhi’s roaring crowd setting the tone for the evening. Amidst laughter and howls, Dinesh Vijan took the stage and said, “This is the beginning of a fan ritual. From now on, fans will see a glimpse of the film before the world. We’re building a universe that belongs to its fans.”

The event saw cinematic icons Paresh Rawal, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Rashmika Mandanna, Ayushmann Khurrana, director Aditya Sarpotdar, and producer Dinesh Vijan come together to celebrate the growing Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU). The first 20 minutes of Thamma left fans screaming, laughing, and applauding through every scene. But the loudest cheers of the night came when Nawazuddin appeared on screen — sending the crowd into a frenzy.

As the Thamma team took the stage for a grand finale, it was clear — this was more than an event, it was the birth of a fan phenomenon.

Thamma releases in cinemas worldwide on 21st October.
