Thamma (2025) – Early Review
A Diwali Delight with a Bloody Twist
Thamma arrives as a bold new chapter in Indian horror-comedy, blending chills, laughter, and heartfelt emotion into a festival-ready spectacle. Maddock Films, known for Stree and Bhediya, once again dives into the universe of small-town legends, superstitions, and spirits—but this time with a sharper romantic edge.
The film positions itself as a “bloody love story”, and it delivers on that promise. At its heart, Thamma isn’t just about supernatural scares—it’s about the clash between tradition and desire, fear and affection, destiny and choice. The narrative balances eerie tension with bursts of humor and charm, keeping audiences hooked from start to finish.
Visually, the setting of rural India is captured with both authenticity and flair, amplifying the spooky folklore atmosphere while offering plenty of vibrant, festive color. The performances shine, with leads that bring depth to their characters, making the love story as engaging as the ghostly thrills.
The real triumph of Thamma lies in how it continues the legacy of Stree while carving its own identity. Where Stree leaned into satire and feminist subtext, Thamma explores emotional vulnerability, love under duress, and the consequences of choices made in the shadow of fear.
💡 Verdict: Thamma is witty, scary, and surprisingly heartfelt. A Diwali release that gives you laughs, shivers, and a love story soaked in blood and magic—everything a Maddock horror-comedy fan could hope for.
⭐ Rating: 4.5/5 – A “bloody good” Diwali treat.
