Thamma box office collection day 2: Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika film maintains momentum post Diwali, collects ₹42 crore

Thamma box office collection day 2: Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's horror comedy is doing well at the box office.

Thamma box office collection day 2: Maddock Films’ latest horror comedy offering, Thamma, has taken a running start at the box office. The Diwali release, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, minted over ₹25 crore domestically on the opening day, Tuesday. On Wednesday, the film witnessed an expected dip as day 2 was a working day immediately after Diwali. But positive word of mouth meant the film was able to sustain some of its momentum.

Thamma earned ₹25.11 crore net on its first day, according to Maddock Films. Sacnilk put the figure at ₹24 crore. On day 2, the film saw a substantial reduction in footfalls, as morning shows registered only 10% occupancy (as opposed to 16% on day 1). But the footfalls increased as the day progressed leading to healthy collections in the evening and night shows for the film. On Wednesday, Thamma collected ₹18 crore net, taking its two-day total to ₹42 crore. The film managed to limit its second-day drop to just 25%.

The biggest test for Thamma is how it performs on Thursday, the last working day before the weekend begins. Diwali holiday and good reviews have given it the push it needed at the box office, and now the film needs to avoid large dips in collection to give itself a good chance of a solid weekend. Trade pundits say that anything less than ₹100 crore net over the six-day extended weekend should be a disappointing number for Thamma.
