Thamma X review: Fans react to Ayushmann and Rashmika’s performances
One user praised Ayushmann Khurrana for his performance and described Rashmika Mandanna as “beautiful” with a “mysterious charm.” His X post reads:
“Just watched #Thamma. #AyushmannKhurrana is in top form, delivering laughs and chills like only he can. The comedy hits hard, and the horror scenes are spot on. #RashmikaMandanna adds her beautiful and mysterious charm.”
He concluded his post by sharing the title image of Maddock’s upcoming film ‘Shakti Shalini’, which will feature Saiyaara fame actress Aneet Padda. The makers attached the announcement video of Shakti Shalini along with Thamma. He wrote, “EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! #AneetPadda.”
Another user called ‘Thamma’ a wild and ambitious Diwali release blending horror, comedy, and romance. He praised Ayushmann Khurrana for his emotional and comic performance, while Rashmika Mandanna impressed, though her role felt a tad underdeveloped. He found Nawazuddin’s role as the villain intense but occasionally over-the-top, and Paresh Rawal brought his classic charm.
The X post reads, “just caught Thamma on its big Diwali drop, and damn, it’s a wild ride! The plot? Two lovers fighting fate, family, and some bloodthirsty Betaals. It’s ambitious, maybe too much at times, but the twists keep you hooked. Ayushmann’s the MVP, nailing the emotional bits and comedic timing like a pro. Rashmika’s solid, though her role feels a tad underdeveloped. Nawazuddin’s villain is intense but occasionally over-the-top, and Paresh Rawal sprinkles some OG charm.”
