Fans react to ‘Thamma’ trailer: Ayushmann–Rashmika film gets mixed reviews 

The newest film in Dinesh Vijan's horror-comedy universe, fans' reactions to the trailer for Thamma, have been conflicting. In the 2.54-minute teaser, Rashmika Mandanna plays his enigmatic love interest, Tadaka and Ayushmann Khurrana plays Alok, a regular guy who turns into a vampire.

Their attempts to stop Yakshaashan, a rebel vampire threatening humanity and played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, are at the centre of the narrative. Set within a supernatural legend, the film promises a distinctive blend of comedy, horror, and romance.

Although a lot of fans were excited about the film, particularly its link to the well-known horror-comedy universe, some viewers thought the trailer gave away too much of the plot.

One remark caught my attention, “Thank you for showing the whole movie in this trailer,” reflecting concern over spoilers.

Nevertheless, the trailer created a lot of buzz, with people praising the performances and the captivating plot.

The film's cameos by Varun Dhawan as Bhediya and Shraddha Kapoor as Stree heighten the suspense and further connect it to the wider cinematic universe. With its anticipated holiday release, Thamma is anticipated to draw viewers seeking a novel fusion of comedy, romance, and horror, providing a unique cinematic experience. Beyond the teasers in the trailer, fans will be excited to see how the story develops.

Social media buzz

Internet users were excited by the trailer. One penned, “Excited for Varun cameo as Bhediya and Shraddha cameo as Stree.... Thamma blockbuster laoding.”

Another commented, “Munjya ka connection to dikha diya aur Bhediya ke VFx par bhi bahoot accha work hua hit....Thnx.”

Fans aslo expressed excitement over Ayushmann and Nawazuddin sharing screen space, as one person wrote, “Excited see Ayushman and Nawazuddn together.”

Appreciation coupled with criticism

Not all were positive. Some viewers felt the trailer revealed too much, which is true too. One user wrote, “Thank you for showing the whole movie in this trailer.”
