Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana is currently enjoying a phenomenal run at the box office with his latest release, Thamma. The film has not only captivated audiences but also crossed the impressive ₹130 crore mark, setting the stage to become one of his biggest career hits.
Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and featuring a stellar cast including Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal, Thamma continues its steady performance, proving its mettle against other releases.
‘Thamma’ Continues Its Stellar Box Office Run
Thamma is on a strong trajectory, showing consistent performance even in its third weekend. This robust collection brings it closer to surpassing one of Ayushmann’s most beloved films, Badhaai Ho, which minted ₹137.31 crore.
Currently positioned as his third biggest hit, Thamma needs just over ₹6 crore more to claim the coveted second spot, signaling a massive win for the actor and the team.
Breaking Down the Weekend Numbers
The film demonstrated excellent hold over its third weekend, adding significant numbers to its overall collection:
- Friday: ₹80 lakh
- Saturday: ₹1.5 crore
- Sunday: ₹1.65 crore
These figures cumulatively pushed Thamma‘s total collection to an impressive ₹131.05 crore, underscoring its appeal and sustained public interest.
A Big Budget, A Bigger Goal
Interestingly, Thamma holds the distinction of being the biggest budgeted film in Ayushmann Khurrana’s career. For the film to be officially deemed a success, industry experts suggest it needs to cross the ₹150 crore mark at the box office.
Given its current pace and positive word-of-mouth, achieving this milestone seems well within reach.

A Blockbuster 2026 on the Horizon
The year 2026 is slated to be a landmark for Ayushmann, with three major film releases on his plate:
