Thamma box office day 4: Ayushmann Khurrana's movie sees a dip in collection, earns ₹9.5 crore

Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, got off to a scintillating start at the box office, and the film continues to make good money, earning ₹ 9.5 crore in net India receipts on day 4 (Friday).

According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the film’s four-day net collection currently stands at approximately ₹65.15 crore. The earnings dropped from ₹13 crore on day 3 to ₹9.5 crore (a decline of about 26.5%) on the following day.

On day 4, the Hindi version's overall occupancy was approximately 13.63%, with morning and afternoon shows registering 7.35% and 15.40%, respectively, and night shows barely reaching 18.13%. The overall occupancy rate for the Telugu version was 10.39%, which is not much better either.

When compared with previous Diwali releases, the drop becomes more alarming. For instance, the big-budget action movie Tiger 3 already crossed the ₹ 200 crore mark, and horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 earned over ₹124 crore by a comparable point.

Thamma , on the other hand, falls far short of expectations with its ₹ 65 crore in four days.

The movie has nearly 5,000 showings in Hindi so far, but if the numbers do not get better over the weekend, they will undoubtedly continue to decline. Another Diwali release that received fewer screens,

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, is holding steady at the box office. It has earned ₹ 28.25 crore at the box office after four days.

Despite Diwali's favourable release timing, when theatres usually profit from seasonal footfall, industry analysts mostly blame the low hold on a lack of sustained traction and weaker word-of-mouth. Although the movie was released at the right time, it clearly lacked the content to appeal to turn that into high profits.
