Thamma’s pace slows down at box office, hit tag still far away from crossing Rs 130 crore

News India Live, Digital Desk: The horror-comedy film ‘Thamma’ starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna and Nawazuddin Siddiqui has completed three weeks at the box office. This film, which had a strong start on the occasion of Diwali, now seems to be slowing down. After the third weekend, the total collection of the film has crossed Rs 131 crore, but its declining earnings have increased the concern of the producers.

How was the performance in the third weekend?

There has been a big decline in the earnings of ‘Thamma’ in the third week. On the third weekend, the film collected only about Rs 3.75 crore. While the film earned Rs 80 lakh on Friday, it made a slight increase to Rs 1.5 crore on Saturday and Rs 1.65 crore on Sunday. These figures show that now the audience’s interest in films is decreasing, especially in big cities and multiplexes. The theatrical run of the film is now at its final stage.

Beats ‘Stree’, but lags behind ‘Badhaai Ho’

This film of ‘Maddock Horror Comedy Universe’ has left behind Shraddha Kapoor’s superhit film ‘Stree’ in terms of earnings, whose total earning was around Rs 129.90 crore. However, it is still about Rs 6 crore away from breaking the record of ‘Badhaai Ho’ (137.31 crore), the second biggest hit of Ayushmann’s career.

Will ‘Thamma’ be a hit?

According to experts, ‘Thamma’ is the biggest budget film of Ayushmann Khurrana’s career. According to reports, the budget of the film including publicity and promotion is around Rs 145 crore. In such a situation, for the film to be called successful or hit, it is necessary to cross the figure of at least Rs 150 crore. The film received mixed responses from audiences and critics, which is considered to be a major reason for its slow pace. Now after the release of Ajay Devgan’s ‘De De Pyaar De 2’ next week, it will become even more difficult for ‘Thamma’ to survive in theatres.

Looking at the current trend, the lifetime collection of the film seems to be around Rs 130 crore, which may not be enough considering the budget of the film.
