THAMMA Box Office: Ayushmann-Rashmika Starrer Hits ₹210.71 Cr Worldwide, Set to Overtake Salman Khan’s Sikandar
THAMMA Global Juggernaut: Just ₹63 Lakhs Away from a Major Worldwide Record
The box office run of the romantic horror-comedy Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, has proven to be a long-distance marathon, not a sprint. Released during the competitive Diwali window, the film has sustained its run for nearly a month, and the latest figures for Day 27 reveal a stunning new development: the film is on the brink of shattering a significant global milestone that will cement its place as one of the year’s top-grossing hits.
As of Day 27 (November 17, 2025), Thamma has amassed an impressive ₹210.71 crore in gross worldwide collections. This places the film in a direct, nail-biting race to surpass the global lifetime earnings of Salman Khan’s earlier 2025 release, Sikandar, which stands at ₹211.34 crores.
The difference is a mere ₹0.63 crore, meaning the Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna-led film is projected to climb past this monumental figure within the next 24 to 48 hours, subject to weekend performance.
The Global Significance: Rashmika Mandanna’s Ascendancy in Bollywood
The worldwide success of Thamma is a crucial marker for both its lead stars, but particularly for Rashmika Mandanna. Upon crossing the Sikandar benchmark, Thamma will officially become the third-highest-grossing Bollywood film of her career globally.
While her roles in blockbuster hits like Animal and Chhaava position her at the pinnacle of pan-Indian box office dominance, the success of Thamma solidifies her appeal in the crucial Hindi-language market. The film’s enduring performance, reaching the ₹210+ crore club, demonstrates her ability to draw audiences even with a concept-driven horror-comedy, proving her star power extends across genres and industries. For the actress, this achievement acts as a potent statement of her increasing commercial viability in Bollywood, distinguishing her from co-stars who may rely on traditional genre formats.
The Domestic Victory: A Profitable ‘Plus’ Verdict and Sustained Hold
While the worldwide tally captures the headlines, the film’s domestic performance is the bedrock of its success story. After 27 days in Indian theaters, the film’s total net collection has reached ₹156.24 crore, corresponding to a gross collection of ₹184.36 crore.
Crucially, the film has been declared a ‘Plus’ affair at the box office. With a reported budget of approximately ₹140 crore (including Print and Advertising costs), Thamma has not only recovered its investment but has also registered returns for its makers. The film’s Return on Investment (ROI) has been a testament to its consistent performance, especially during the challenging fourth week of its run.
In a clear sign of enduring audience interest, Thamma displayed an impressive jump in collections during its fourth weekend. On Day 26 (the fourth Saturday), the film saw a reported 75% jump in its daily collection, adding ₹0.35 crore. This positive momentum was carried forward, with the film estimated to have added ₹0.40 crore on Day 27 (the fourth Sunday). This is a remarkable hold, especially considering the film is now battling major new releases like De De Pyaar De 2 and other holdovers, which typically lead to a significant reduction in screen count.
Setting Benchmarks for the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe
Thamma is not just a standalone hit; it’s a critical entry in the highly successful Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MCHU), which began with the 2018 hit Stree. The film, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, has successfully managed to carve out its own distinct identity within the franchise, focusing on a unique vampire-themed narrative integrated with local Indian folklore.
The film has already surpassed the global lifetime haul of the franchise’s progenitor, Stree, which had collected ₹184 crore worldwide. This makes Thamma the second-highest-grossing film in the MCHU, only trailing behind the colossal success of Stree 2 (which grossed an estimated ₹874 crore).
This achievement is vital for the studio, Maddock Films, as it validates their strategy of building a connected cinematic universe. The success confirms that the audience is invested in the MCHU brand beyond the main Stree franchise, promising further expansions and spin-offs.
Star Power and Career-Defining Numbers
For Ayushmann Khurrana, Thamma has emerged as a landmark success. Domestically, the film is officially his highest-grossing film of all time, a significant achievement that showcases his ability to transition from socio-political dramas and quirky comedies to commercial genre films with widespread appeal. His performance has been instrumental in drawing the family and youth audience into the horror-comedy genre.
The film’s consistent box office performance, from its strong Diwali opening to its current sustained run, indicates a resounding acceptance of the star pairing and the film’s fresh take on the horror-comedy genre. Even as the film moves towards the end of its theatrical run, its final tally will be a strong opening statement for the actor’s future commercial projects, including his highly anticipated slate for 2026.
As Thamma inches towards its new worldwide record, the focus remains on the final box office tally. By virtually ensuring a worldwide gross north of ₹211.34 crore, the film has delivered a decisive ‘Plus’ verdict for the producers and a major box office win for its stars, capping off a successful theatrical season with a bang. The success of Thamma is a testament to strong concept-driven cinema and the enduring appeal of the horror-comedy genre when executed with fresh vision.
