The movie also includes special cameos by Malaika Arora, Varun Dhawan, and Nora Fatehi, adding to the star power.

A New Chapter in the Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe

Following hits like Stree, Bhediya, Munjya, and Stree 2, Thamma promises a unique twist to the Maddock universe. Unlike its predecessors, which leaned heavily into comedy, Thamma introduces a vampire-themed supernatural romance inspired by both Indian folklore and Western mythology. The film’s title itself has sparked intrigue, symbolizing ancient legends and forbidden love.

What to Expect from Thamma

The movie revolves around Alok Goyal (Ayushmann Khurrana), a historian who uncovers the mythological roots of vampirism in India and accidentally transforms into a Betaal—a vampire-like being. Rashmika Mandanna plays Tadaka, a centuries-old vampire with a tragic love story linked to Alok’s destiny.

Meanwhile, Nawazuddin Siddiqui portrays Yakshasan, a thousand-year-old vampire who turns against humanity, setting up a fierce supernatural battle. Paresh Rawal plays Alok’s father, caught between saving his son and accepting his transformation.

The film mixes romance, mythology, and humor, with a central love story at its heart — a first for the Maddock horror-comedy universe.

Thamma Trailer Breakdown

The 2-minute 54-second trailer opens with the backstory of Yakshasan, an immortal being created to protect humans but later imprisoned for turning against them. When Alok accidentally unleashes him, chaos ensues as Alok’s transformation into a Betaal begins.

The trailer balances thrills and humor, featuring Alok’s sarcastic remarks about adjusting to his new identity — including the witty line about missing rajma chawal. The visuals hint at a high-stakes confrontation between Alok and Yakshasan, teasing a possible crossover with Bhediya and Stree 2 characters. A glimpse of a werewolf further expands the shared Maddock cinematic universe.

Thamma Runtime and Certification

As confirmed by Sacnilk, Thamma has received a U/A certificate from the CBFC, ensuring it’s suitable for a wide audience. The film’s runtime of 150 minutes allows enough space for character development, humor, and supernatural world-building.

Thamma Advance Booking and Promotions

On October 16, 2025, Maddock Films announced that advance booking for Thamma opens on October 17, 2025. Their official post read:

“Love doesn’t wait… and neither should you. Advance booking for #Thamma opens tomorrow! Don’t forget to book your tickets!”

The announcement was accompanied by a motion poster featuring Ayushmann and Rashmika in a haunting yet romantic embrace, setting the stage for the film’s “bloody love story.”

Thamma OTT Release and Streaming Partner

After its theatrical run, Thamma will premiere digitally on Prime Video. The early rental release is expected from December 2, 2025, while free streaming for all Prime subscribers will begin from December 16, 2025.

This two-phase digital release ensures that fans who miss the theatrical window can still enjoy the film during the festive season.

With its fresh mix of folklore-inspired fantasy, love, and humor, Thamma stands out as one of 2025’s most anticipated Hindi releases. Featuring a star-studded cast, sharp direction by Aditya Sarpotdar, and a unique spin on vampire mythology, the film aims to bring both scares and smiles to the big screen this October.
