Thamma vs Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Day 2 Box Office

New Delhi, India – Wednesday, October 22, 2025

The Diwali box office battle is heating up. Day 2 reports for the major Hindi releases are now in. The big clash between Thamma and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has seen some predictable trends. But it has also thrown up some pleasant surprises.

The Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer, Thamma, continues its strong run. It remains the top choice for audiences across India. The film is part of a very popular horror-comedy franchise. This franchise has a loyal fan following. This helps the movie’s performance a lot.

On the other side is the musical love story, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. This film stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa. It is performing very well, especially given its smaller release size. The film has shown an excellent hold on its second day. This is a very positive sign for the movie in the long run.

Thamma Box Office: A Strong Second Day Despite Post-Diwali Drop

Thamma is the fifth installment in a super successful horror-comedy universe. The film had an outstanding opening on its first day (Tuesday, October 21). It made an impressive Rs. 24.00 crore net on Day 1. This was a massive start, helped by the major festival holiday of Diwali.

Thamma Day 2 Collection and Total Box Office

On Wednesday, October 22, the film saw an expected dip in collections. Day 2 was a regular working day for many people. This always affects box office collections after a big holiday opening. However, Thamma still managed to post a very respectable number.

The Day 2 collection for Thamma is estimated to be in the range of Rs. 16.5 crore to Rs. 17.75 crore net. In our Boxofficewala analysis, Rs 16.9 crore net, the total collection for Thamma after two days stands at an impressive Rs 40.9 crore net in India.

This collection shows that the film is holding up well. A drop of around 20-30% on the first working day after Diwali is considered a good hold for a film that opened so big.

What This Means for the Movie

The positive audience response for Thamma is playing a big role. It is keeping the momentum going. The film has crossed the Rs. 40 crore mark in just two days. This is a huge win.

The film is now set up perfectly for the extended weekend. Thursday is also a partial holiday due to Bhai Dooj in some regions. This will give another boost. The film is expected to cross the Rs. 90 crore net mark by the end of its 6-day opening period. If the weekend shows a big jump, even the Rs. The 100 crore mark is possible in this period.

The success of Thamma proves that this horror-comedy universe is a huge draw for the audience. The high collections also ensure that Thamma will be the biggest grosser of Ayushmann Khurrana’s career. This is a great result for the star and the makers.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Box Office: The Underdog That Is Holding Strong

The Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa starrer Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has surprised many trade experts. It has become the true underdog success story of this Diwali. The film is a romantic drama with a unique storyline.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Day 2 Collection and Total Box Office

On its opening day (Tuesday, October 21), Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat posted an excellent start. It collected around Rs. 9.00 crore net in India. This was a double-digit start, which is a massive success for a film with a moderate budget and facing a big clash.

On Day 2 (Wednesday, October 22), the film has registered a very good hold. Movies’ 2nd-day Collection for all languages is around ₹6.7 Crore net, the total two-day collection stands at Rs. 15.7 crore net at the domestic box office.

This drop of about 16% on a working day after a huge festival is outstanding. It is a much better hold than generally expected. This strong performance shows that the film has been accepted by the audience.

What This Means for the Movie

The film is working especially well in Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres. These smaller towns and cities are seeing a great turnout. The positive word-of-mouth is very strong. This is helping the film to draw audiences even on a weekday.

The film’s music and the lead actor’s growing popularity are key factors. Harshvardhan Rane’s recent re-release success also helped create excitement.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is all set for a successful run. A strong total of Rs. 37 crore to Rs. 40 crore net is very likely in its 6-day extended opening period. If it continues this momentum, the film has a good chance of crossing the Rs. 50 crore net mark in its total lifetime collection.

This will be a massive hit for the makers and a big boost for the lead pair. The movie’s performance proves that good content and a strong audience connection can overcome a big box office clash.

Box Office Outlook for the Extended Weekend

Both the Diwali releases are performing well. Thamma is leading the race with huge numbers. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is a strong second and is proving to be a big commercial success.

The next few days will be crucial. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will decide the final verdict. Thamma needs to maintain its pace. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat needs to show a jump over the next weekend.

Both films have good public response. The current trend suggests that both movies will have a very successful run at the box office. This is a great sign for Bollywood after the festival season. The audience has two good movies to watch. This will only help the box office in the coming days.
