Ayushmann-Rashmika’s ‘Thamma’ Advance Booking Report: Crosses Rs 5 Crore Mark for Day 1

Mumbai, Sunday, October 19, 2025: The big Diwali release, ‘Thamma’, is creating a buzz. The advance booking report for its first day is out. The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. It is part of the popular Maddock Horror Comedy Universe.

The movie is set to release on October 21, 2025. This is a great day for business, as it is the day after Diwali. The first-day advance ticket sales show a mix of excitement and some concerns. The film has crossed a major milestone in advance booking collection.

Thamma Day 1 Advance Booking Stands at Over ₹5 Crore

The latest reports from trade analysts confirm a good figure. ‘Thamma’ has managed to cross the ₹5.03 crore mark in its Day 1 advance booking. This includes all formats and versions. This is a very impressive number for a Bollywood film’s pre-sales.

However, a closer look at the numbers is important. The total amount comes from two parts.

• Organic Ticket Sales: This is the money from genuine audience bookings. This number is currently around ₹1.70 crore gross. This shows the real interest from the public.
• Block Bookings: This amount is very high, roughly ₹5.14 crore. Block bookings are when the producers buy a large number of tickets themselves. This is a practice often done to create a strong initial buzz.

This means that a large part of the initial reported collection is not from actual moviegoers yet. The real audience booking for Day 1 is still growing. Around 60,000 tickets have been sold across the nation.

Where Does Thamma Stand in National Chains?

The film’s performance in the top multiplex chains is key. These chains are PVR-Inox and Cinepolis. The response here started slowly but has picked up pace. The film is doing well in states like Maharashtra and Delhi. These cities are contributing the most to the pre-sales.

The film has secured a large number of shows. It is set to debut with over 10,000 shows across India. This wide release in Hindi and Telugu shows the producers’ confidence. The film is releasing in 2D, IMAX 2D, and 4DX formats. This will give a good boost to the ticket prices and overall box office collection.

What to Expect from Thamma Day 1 Box Office Collection?

Based on the strong advance booking, the box office is expecting a big opening. The opening day collection for ‘Thamma’ is predicted to be high.

Trade analysts expect the Day 1 collection to be between ₹17 crore and ₹30 crore (Net).

This wide range is because of the Diwali festival. The day after Diwali is one of the biggest days for the movie business. On this day, current ticket sales often play a bigger role than advance booking. Families start stepping out after the Puja and celebrations. So, if the reviews are positive, the box office numbers can jump very quickly on the release day.

The film is the latest part of the highly successful Horror Comedy Universe. This franchise has given hits like Stree 2 and Munjya. This goodwill is a major advantage for ‘Thamma’. The audience is excited to see Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna together for the first time.

The Road Ahead: Importance of Word of Mouth

The advance booking has given ‘Thamma’ a solid foundation. But the actual success will depend on the audience’s reaction. Since the film is releasing on a Tuesday, it will get a long five-day opening weekend.

For the film to reach the higher end of the prediction (close to ₹30 crore), it needs two things:

• Strong Spot Bookings: The current sales on Tuesday must be huge.
• Positive Word-of-Mouth: Good reviews from the first audience will bring in more people for the long weekend.

Overall, ‘Thamma’ is set for a strong opening. The final collection on Tuesday will tell us if it can break new records for the actors and the production house. All eyes are now on October 21 for the final box office verdict.
