This Diwali, Bollywood’s Maddock Horror Comedy Universe expands with its much-awaited fifth installment – Thama. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, Thama promises an audacious blend of horror, romance, and comedy, taking the cinematic legacy of hits like Stree, Bhediya, and Munjya to thrilling new heights. Brace yourself for a bloody love story starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Paresh Rawal, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
Thama Movie Trailer Highlights
The official teaser for Thama drops on August 19, 2025, at 11:11 AM. The trailer introduces an intense, supernatural universe where love collides with mythology and dark secrets. Ayushmann Khurrana’s first look as Alok – humanity’s last hope – radiates a blend of charisma and chilling power. Rashmika Mandanna appears as Tadaka, the first ray of light, exuding regal and mystical vibes. Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Yakshasan is unveiled as the king of darkness, while Paresh Rawal adds comedic and tragic layers with his role as Ram Bajaj Goyal. Bats, epic music, and flashes of ancient Vijayanagara set the tone for a bloody, romantic saga.
Plot & Storyline: Vampire Love Story Across Time
Thama’s intriguing storyline fuses modern Delhi with flashbacks to the ancient city of Vijayanagar. Ayushmann Khurrana plays a historian unraveling the mythological roots of Indian vampirism. Two timelines intertwine: the present, where Alok seeks answers, and the past, where his quest connects with Tadaka and the haunting legend of immortality inspired by Ashwatthama. The narrative is rich in unrequited love, myth, and drama, seamlessly blending folklore, supernatural elements, and high-stakes romance. Expect a plot that explores heartbreak, revenge, and timeless desire.
