Thamma‘s trailer is underwhelming but the film is not. It starts on an intriguing note and then turns hilarious and also ‘bloody’. The intermission point is dramatic while the second half has its share of action and drama. The climax is gripping but at the same time, it is underwhelming compared to the previous films of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. The same goes for the songs. The lead character development is too quick; his professional life and friends serve no purpose. Lastly, the second half is stretched. Ayushmann Khurrana is superb as always and it’s a pleasure to see him after more than two years. Rashmika Mandanna delivers her best performance in a Bollywood movie and it’s clear that she has worked on her craft. Nawazuddin Siddiqui‘s performance has a hangover of his act from Kick. But no complaints as he’s too good and raises laughs. Paresh Rawal is entertaining while Geeta Agarwal Sharma and Faisal Malik lend able support. Sathyaraj is lovely in a cameo. All in all, Thamma is yet another entertaining film from the exciting Maddock Horror Comedy Universe.
My rating – *** ยฝ out of 5!
