Thamma follows Alok (Ayushmann Khurrana), a man cursed to become a Baital — a vampire-like creature who feeds on human blood. As he grapples with this horrifying transformation, he falls in love with Vaidehi (Rashmika Mandanna). However, their love story is complicated by his monstrous urges, a sinister villain named Yakshasan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), and a looming supernatural war that ties the film into the larger Maddock horror-comedy universe. As Alok tries to fight his fate and preserve his humanity, he’s pulled deeper into a chaotic spiral of love, identity, and immortality.
Thamma had the potential to add a dark, romantic, and mythical edge to the Maddock horror-comedy universe, but it falls flat due to a poorly structured narrative. The first half drags, the emotional arcs lack conviction, and even the horror elements feel neutered. Ayushmann and Rashmika try their best but are let down by inconsistent writing. Unlike its predecessors (Stree, Bhediya, Munjya), which had strong social messages, Thamma feels toothless and thematically empty. A few humorous touches and franchise cameos offer some spark, but the film doesn’t justify its own existence.
