Hold onto your seats, movie buffs! Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s Thamma has just shaken up the Bollywood box office in a way no one saw coming. This romantic horror comedy isn’t just another flick—it’s now the 10th highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2025, surpassing Salman Khan’s Sikandar in domestic earnings. But here’s where it gets controversial: Can a genre-bending film like Thamma truly compete with Bollywood’s big-budget blockbusters? Let’s dive into the numbers and find out.
On its 12th day, Thamma raked in an impressive 4.75 crores, marking a 46% surge from the previous day’s 3.25 crores. Despite facing stiff competition from newcomers like The Taj Story and the re-released Baahubali – The Epic, Aditya Sarpotdar’s directorial debut is holding its ground. The film’s total India net collection now stands at 131.25 crores, inching closer to the coveted 150 crore milestone. And this is the part most people miss: Had it not been for simultaneous releases like Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, Kantara Chapter 1, Jolly LLB 3, and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, Thamma might have crossed the 5 crore mark on its second weekend.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of its box office journey (India net earnings):
- Week 1: 123.25 crores (10 days)
- Day 11: 3.25 crores
- Day 12: 4.75 crores
Total: 131.25 crores (estimates, official figures pending).
With this performance, Thamma has not only entered the top 10 highest-grossing Bollywood films of 2025 but has also become Rashmika Mandanna’s third biggest Bollywood hit. Here’s how her films stack up:
- Chhaava: 615.39 crores
