Thamma

“Nawazuddin Siddiqui brings an exceptional level of flash and flair to bear upon the titular role.”

“It's telling that in the Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna film with its multiple cameos, the loudest laughs are meant for Abhishek Bannerjee in a walk-on part.”

“THAMMA is a well-packaged entertainer”

“Thamma ends on a thrilling note, teasing the next chapter of the horror-comedy universe. With its engaging humour, strong performances, slick visuals, and inventive VFX, it’s a thoroughly entertaining watch—and one that keeps the Stree universe alive and kicking.”

“Every possible element of entertainment packed into 149 minutes, with a witty script, stellar performances, and the director's firm grasp on blending horror and comedy seamlessly, though some stretching in the second half and an unnecessarily prolonged climax hold it back.”

“Thamma struggles under the weight of the lofty ambitions and conventional tropes of its own universe. The makers try their best to incorporate one-liners and repartees in the script but they hardly ever land. Ultimately, the storytelling remains curiously restrained and gets reduced to just another horror-comedy with tropes that arrive on cue.”

“Overall, Thamma feels less like another franchise instalment and more like the moment the MHCU truly finds its rhythm. It blends humour, and heart with surprising confidence, leaving you curious about what's next...and for once, that curiosity feels well-earned.”

“The cameos never stop. It’s like watching the last five minutes of the match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns from Wrestlemania 40. Anyone can show up anytime!”

“Thamma’s biggest blunder is its weak plot. The lack of whistle-worthy moments, catchy sequences and cinematic appeal hampers its potential. After Stree 2, the stakes were high, at least with the cameos. Eventually, it leads to disappointment.”

“Despite its ambitious link to Maddock's horror-comedy universe, the film feels lifeless, uneven, and drained of charm.”

“A muscular body with no heartbeat”

“However, both the text and the subtext remain undercooked, and what we get tastes like an adulterated Deepavali delicacy. The horror element doesn't scare you, the inter-specific romance doesn't arouse emotions, and the comic element remains perfunctory. In an age when the direction of the thumb judges creative pursuits, Thamma is somewhere between thumbs up and thumbs down.”
