The trailer for Thamma, the latest addition to Maddocks’ Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), has received mixed reactions. Some viewers called it flat and even labelled it the weakest of the MHCU films. The responses have set the stage for an interesting box office journey.
On the positive side, the film’s association with the successful MHCU brand gives it credibility. Many social media users and trade analysts believe this connection could help it perform well. Its links to Stree and Bhediya have also sparked curiosity among franchise fans.
The background score of Thamma received praise from reviewers on social media. It was noted as a strong factor that could draw audiences to theatres. Additionally, a Diwali release offers an advantage to benefit from festive footfalls, enhancing its box office prospects.
However, not everything is reassuring. Despite heavy promotions and a trailer launch featuring Shraddha Kapoor, the trailer garnered only 7.5 million views in the first 16 hours. Some users suggest these numbers may have relied on paid promotions rather than being fully organic.
Reviewers highlighted that while some scenes from the trailer were entertaining, the overall impression was underwhelming. This has led to speculation that Thamma might face challenges matching the high benchmarks of its MHCU predecessors. Upcoming promotions, song releases, and positive word of mouth will be key to making it a festive hit.
