“A blend of humour, horror, emotion, and desi folklore that keeps you hooked till the last frame. #AyushmannKhurrana delivers a career-best act — balancing fear & comedy like a pro. #RashmikaMandanna shines bright in a surprisingly powerful role. #NawazuddinSiddiqui is unpredictable and magnetic — pure gem! #PareshRawal adds charm with his impeccable comic timing. Music + background score = Electrifying. Direction by #AdityaSarpotdar proves why Maddock is the master of horror-comedy. Final Verdict: #Thamma is not just a movie, it’s an experience full of laughter, thrills, and twists you won’t see coming."
