Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna are just not funny enough

Here, the writing veers towards set-pieces with ear-splitting background music, but is overall dull, which colours everything the cast does. Ayushmann Khurrana, adorned on and off with a pair of pointy fangs, tries hard, but is never funny enough. Nor is Mandanna, whose thick kajal-sharp contour-cool bustier game is strong, but fails to to raise any steam with her co-star. And Nawazuddin Siddiqui, in the titular role, is all flashing red eyes and snarl, and not much else.(more)

Entertaining, visually sharp, and backed by strong performances

Thamma ends on a thrilling note, teasing the next chapter of the horror-comedy universe. With its engaging humour, strong performances, slick visuals, and inventive VFX, it�s a thoroughly entertaining watch�and one that keeps the Stree universe alive and kicking.(more)

Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna's film keeps you 'hooked' too the end

The film focuses on Ayushmann Khurrana as a man who suddenly becomes a vampire. He then falls in love with Rashmika Mandanna, but their romance soon faces challenges. Nawazuddin Siddiqui will be seen in the film as a villain. Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, the film is described as a bloody love story. It released on October 21.(more)

Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna & Paresh Rawal starrer imaginative horror-comedy turns overlong & repetitive

Thamma has sweep, ambition, and imagination but it�s also overlong and repetitive. The vampire jokes stop being comical after a point. There�s an ill-timed kiss too. Another flimsy moment (this time not in good ways) that shows a Herculean Ayushmann Khurrana brings back memories of a man-mountain Hrithik Roshan from the climax of Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage. The cliffhangers are losing sheen and after a point, it may be difficult to connect the dots as Maddock�s horror-comedy universe continues to grow. Next in line is Shakti Shalini starring Aneet Padda in the lead. This new outing must have Geeta Sharma anyhow. We then get to see a semi-Saiyaara universe hopefully with a cameo by Mohit Suri.(more)
