The trailer of Thamma has finally dropped, and it’s everything fans of Maddock Films’ horror-comedy universe hoped for — equal parts chilling, romantic, and wildly entertaining. Scheduled for release on October 21, 2025, just ahead of Diwali, the film positions itself as a grand festival offering with a unique twist: a love story wrapped inside a world of vampires and folklore.
The trailer opens with sweeping visuals and a haunting score, introducing Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna in roles that ooze both passion and danger. Their on-screen chemistry is set against an eerie backdrop, where moonlit romance quickly turns into scenes of blood, betrayal, and supernatural chaos. But true to the Maddock legacy, sharp one-liners and quirky supporting characters inject bursts of humor, reminding audiences that this is no ordinary horror flick. One of the major highlights of the trailer is non other than Nawazuddin Siddiqui who seems to play the primary antagonist in the film as a Vampire.
Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, Thamma brings together a power-packed ensemble. Alongside the leads, the film features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Paresh Rawal in pivotal roles, with cameos hinted at but not revealed in the trailer. The soundtrack by Sachin–Jigar promises to blend haunting melodies with foot-tapping beats, adding another layer of energy to the experience.
The makers launched the trailer in Mumbai with much fanfare, turning it into a ticketed fan event that sold out quickly – a clever marketing move that underlines the excitement around the film. The teaser released earlier this year had teased a “bloody love story,” and the full trailer now confirms that the film aims to blend romance, myth, and gore into one unforgettable package.
Fans are already dissecting the trailer for Easter eggs and possible links to the wider Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe, which includes Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya. Social media is buzzing with praise for Ayushmann’s genre experiment and Rashmika’s intense presence, while trade watchers expect the film to be one of the biggest Diwali releases of the year.
Thamma is not just another horror outing – it’s an ambitious attempt to merge dark fantasy with a pulsing love story, all while keeping the crowd-pleasing elements intact. If the trailer is any indication, audiences can expect a film that’s as visually spectacular as it is emotionally gripping, making Diwali 2025 one to remember at the movies.
