This Diwali, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna lit up the big screen with Thamma, a supernatural comedy that released in theatres on October 21, 2025. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film became one of the season’s biggest crowd-pullers, offering humour, horror, and a fresh on-screen pairing that audiences instantly loved.
The movie also expands the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MCHU), following the success of Stree and Bhediya, by introducing vampires to its quirky supernatural world. Now, the film is gearing up for its OTT streaming soon. Here’s what we know about the Thamma OTT release.
According to OTT Nights, Thamma is expected to start streaming on Amazon Prime Video from December 16. While Prime Video hasn’t officially announced a date, reports suggest the movie may first be available as an early-access rental before becoming available to all Prime subscribers. The move aligns with Prime’s recent release pattern for high-grossing films.
Thamma marks the newest addition to Maddock’s Horror Comedy Universe, blending desi folklore with sharp humour and supernatural flair. The film follows Alok (Ayushmann Khurrana), a journalist who falls for Tadaka (Rashmika Mandanna), unaware that she belongs to a secret clan of Betaals, a vampire clan led by the fearsome Yakshasan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui). As Alok unravels her mystery, the two must join forces to overthrow the vampire king and protect humankind.
