The much-awaited film Thamma, the fifth instalment in Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), is shaping up to be one of the biggest Diwali releases of the year. Following the success of earlier films like Stree, Bhediya, Munjya, and Stree 2, this new chapter introduces audiences to a fresh supernatural world — a “vampire love story” led by Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. The film, set to release on October 21, 2025, carries high expectations as it continues the legacy of Maddock Films’ unique blend of horror, comedy, and emotion. In an interesting turn, the makers are planning to offer fans an early celebration by organising special midnight shows on October 20, just hours before the official release. Verified reports from Pinkvilla, confirm that these shows will serve as exclusive paid previews across major multiplex chains in India. The strategy mirrors the successful early-screening approach adopted for Munjya and Stree 2, both of which benefited greatly from strong word-of-mouth before the release day. Releasing during the Diwali weekend is also a well-calculated move. The festive holiday has historically been a lucrative window for big films, and Thamma looks set to capitalise on the season’s family and youth audience. The decision to schedule midnight screenings not only amplifies the excitement but also allows the film to gain valuable buzz before the morning shows roll out nationwide. Producer Dinesh Vijan reportedly views this as a celebration for fans who have followed the MHCU’s journey from its first chapter, Stree, to its latest expansion into the supernatural-romance space. With a strong ensemble cast, an intriguing concept, and the added hype of Diwali midnight shows, Thamma is poised to make a mark both commercially and culturally. If the earlier instalments are any indication, the film could once again deliver a perfect mix of thrills, humour, and heart — lighting up the big screen as the Maddock universe continues to grow stronger with every new addition.

This Diwali turned out to be a busy weekend for Tamil cinema, with three notable releases — Dude, Bison Kaalamaadan, and Diesel — hitting theatres simultaneously, setting the stage for an exciting box-office clash. Each film brought a different flavour to the festive lineup: Dude catering to the youth with its romantic-comedy tone, Bison Kaalamaadan delivering an emotional sports drama, and Diesel targeting action lovers. Among the three, Dude starring Pradeep Ranganathan and Mamitha Baiju under Keerthiswaran’s direction emerged as the clear front-runner. Backed by AGS Entertainment (for Tamil release), the film showed solid pre-release momentum with an impressive advance booking of around ₹6.94 crore (including block seats). Dude posted a strong opening on day 1 with an India gross of ₹11.50 crore, and also performed well overseas, adding approximately ₹8 crore to its worldwide total to reach around ₹19.50 crore.Occupancy for Dude was healthy, with an overall Tamil occupancy of about 48.85%, distributed across morning (~33.94%), afternoon (~45.75%), evening (~46.17%), and night shows (~69.53%), with Trichy, Pondicherry, and Chennai contributing as the major occupancy regions. On the other hand, Bison Kaalamaadan, directed by Mari Selvaraj and starring Dhruv Vikram in his first full-fledged lead role, opened to a moderate start. With positive pre-release interest but limited mass appeal, The film managed to collect around ₹3 crore[gross] on Day 1.It registered an overall Tamil Nadu occupancy of 31.98% on opening day, with morning (~23.01%), afternoon (~24.55%), evening (~27.34%), and night (~53.03%) shows. Regionally, occupancy was higher in Trichy (~65.75%), followed by Chennai (~42.75%) and Pondicherry (~36%), . Despite good critical attention and a sports-driven storyline, its occupancy indicates moderate audience traction. Meanwhile, Diesel, featuring Harish Kalyan and Athulya Ravi in lead roles, struggled to make a mark. Directed by Shanmugam Muthusamy, The film earned a worldwide collection of around ₹30 lakh[Gross]. Occupancy rates were reported to be under 10%, with slightly better turnout in Tier-2 cities. In Chennai, morning shows had polite applause, if not packed houses. In comparison, Dude clearly leads the Diwali lineup, both in India and overseas, continuing Pradeep Ranganathan’s impressive box-office rise after Dragon. Bison Kaalamaadan trails behind but holds potential for growth depending on word-of-mouth, while Diesel faces an uphill climb. As the festive weekend unfolds, all eyes will be on how these films sustain their momentum and capitalize on the Diwali holidays ahead.

Mumbai, October 18 - Before scripting history with Gadar 2, Sunny Deol was supposed to come up with a mass entertainer Baap, which also stars Sanjay Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty, and Jackie Shroff, one of the biggest action heroes of the 1980s and '90s. Directed by Vivek Singh Chauhan, the film went on floors in June 2022 and was supposed to be released in 2023. However, the movie hit a roadblock as the shoot was paused for some reason. Now, as per the latest report by Mid-Day, the movie is readying to hit the big screen next year. It is said that the shoot of Baap has been completed, as the team is working on post-production work. The film's talkie portions were already wrapped up by April this year, and now, the entire filming is done after the completion of two songs - a peppy number featuring the four actors, and another track celebrating the protagonists' camaraderie. The movie, produced by Zee Studios and Ahmed Khan, is said to be a VFX-heavy. All actors have reportedly begun dubbing, and the film should be ready by the year-end, after which the makers will decide the release date. The film is said to be designed as an action extravaganza, complete with helicopter chase sequences, explosions, and hand-to-hand combat choreographed by action directors Parvez Shaikh and Ravi Varma. Baap will be the fourth theatrical release for Sunny Deol in 2026. He will begin the year with the hugely anticipated Border 2 (January 22), followed by Lahore 1947 in the summer, and the epic Ramayana Part 1 on Diwali 2026. Stay tuned...

Pradeep Ranganathan’s much-awaited film Dude has finally hit the theatres, and its opening day performance reflects the growing excitement around this youthful entertainer. Right from the pre-release phase, the film generated notable curiosity among audiences, which translated well into advance bookings, garnering ₹6.94 crore (with block seats) from 243,663 tickets sold across 4,744 shows in India. Among the major cities, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana stood out with exceptional advance bookings. On its opening day, the film performed well overseas, grossing over $300K, with the final numbers still being tallied across different regions. The film also benefited from early premiere shows in select cities and overseas markets. The response to these shows was largely positive, with social media buzz. In terms of bookings, Dude recorded encouraging numbers both in domestic and international circuits. The early ticketing trends indicated a clear rise in momentum, demonstrating that the film had successfully captured audience attention despite tight competition. Overseas premieres, particularly in the U.S. and UAE, showed healthy pre-sales, adding to the film’s strong start. Coming to the first-day box office, Dude has delivered a solid opening across regions, raking in an impressive ₹11.50 Cr [India Gross]. This also marks the first time a Pradeep Ranganathan film has entered the double-digit club on day one, showcasing his growing pull at the box office. The Tamil version contributed the major share, while the Telugu-dubbed version also registered steady numbers in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Compared to Dragon, which opened with ₹7.50+ crore gross, Dude has taken a noticeable leap with a ₹11+ crore gross debut, marking a strong upward trend in Pradeep Ranganathan’s career. His growing popularity and knack for picking stories that resonate with today’s audiences continue to strengthen his position as one of Tamil cinema’s most promising young stars. Dude has received a mixed response, with viewers appreciating Pradeep Ranganathan’s performance and the film’s light moments. However, many felt the second half lost steam, making it a decent but inconsistent watch. With its mixed word-of-mouth, Dude is expected to hold steady over the weekend, though its long-term momentum will depend on how well family and youth audiences connect with it in the coming days. With youthful content, fresh presentation, and Pradeep Ranganathan’s growing fan base, the film’s Day 1 earnings have given it a strong push going into the weekend. Overall, Dude marks another significant step forward for Pradeep Ranganathan, both in terms of box office reach and audience connect. While the film’s mixed feedback may test its consistency in the days ahead, its strong start and Pradeep’s ever-rising popularity suggest that his journey in Tamil cinema is only getting stronger with each release.

Mumbai, October 17: The advance bookings for Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's big Diwali release Thamma have opened to an encouraging response, signalling a good start for the film at the domestic box office. Within hours of opening, Thamma managed to sell over 6,000 tickets across leading national chains such as PVR and INOX, while overall ticket sales have crossed the 12K mark for the opening day. Trade analysts note that this is an impressive start, especially considering that Thamma releases right after the Diwali festivities—traditionally a tricky window for advance sales. The early traction is being attributed to the fan following of Ayushmann and Rashmika, the appeal of the horror-comedy genre, and the growing interest in Maddock Films' expanding Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU). If the momentum continues, the film may score one of the biggest pre-sales of the year for a Bollywood title. Industry is hopeful that Thamma will bring a big crowd to theatres this coming Diwali weekend. The early trend suggests an opening of 20+ crores net, which can go to 30 crores, depending on how the sales proceed. With the film releasing on a Tuesday (October 21), it is expected to enjoy an extended five-day festive window, which could significantly enhance its cumulative box office collections. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Maddock Films, Thamma is certified U/A by the CBFC with a runtime of 2 hours and 30 minutes. The film features Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in key roles, blending humour, horror, and emotion in a uniquely Indian storytelling style. Stay tuned...
