Fans of Maddock’s horror-comedy universe have been eagerly waiting for Thamma, the fifth film after hits like Stree 2 and Bhediya. The trailer dropped on 26 September, but it did not impress everyone. Many viewers called it “underwhelming” and shared their disappointment online.
What Happens In Thamma Trailer?
Thamma trailer shows Ayushmann Khurrana as a vampire trying to balance his love life and ambitions. He jumps between buildings, fights a thousand-year-old vampire played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and deals with his father (played by Paresh Rawal) who thinks his son is a “shaitaan” after spotting his vampire teeth. Fans who loved the teaser feel the trailer did not meet their expectations.

“This was quite underwhelming, ngl. The humour and the setting is similar to every other Maddock movie. Also, this is the 2nd movie that I have seen Rashmika being this sexualized after Pushpaa. Did they not have enough budget for a blouse or what?”
“So this has a Nora item song, a Malaika item song and a Rashmika item song… God.”
“They should have left it at teaser only. This trailer killed whatever expectations I had.”
“Using reel music as the background score was just so cringe… Comedy was also mostly flat. Nawazuddin’s parts look more interesting, even if he is overacting. Visual effects in the action scenes don’t look bad, but the style feels copied from Morbius.”
“Rashmika needs serious accent coaches and language training. Her dialogues sound weird and rehearsed. At this point, there’s no excuse since she’s been acting in Hindi movies for years.”
“Yrr frse wahi middle-class comedy… wtf man… pura kachra kar diya.”
“Hire a Hindi tutor. Her Hindi is atrocious.”
Fans mainly criticised the humour, background music and the repeated style from previous Maddock films.
