downgrade Hindi films – This year has been vampire season at the box office. From Sinners & Loca Chapter 1 to now Ayushmann Khurrana’s latest, Thamma, produced by Dinesh Vijan, it is something that is dominating across languages โโand industries. While Thamma has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in India, reactions from audiences have been mixed.
Many felt that the film did not fully utilize its potential and, in some ways, paled in comparison to earlier entries in the universe, such as the Stree films and Wolf. Another point of contention among netizens is its release just two months after the Malayalam industry’s surprise hit Loka, which explored vampirism on a relatively modest budget while garnering critical success.
Director Aditya Sarpotdar, who previously directed the hugely successful Munjya and now Thamma, recently spoke exclusively to the screens about the comparisons being made between his film and Loca: “Look, when I saw the film, I loved it. I’m also a big fan of Dulquer Salmaan as an actor.
After watching the film, I reached out to him. I messaged him and said, ‘I love what you’ve done with it. ‘ Because mainly, as a fan and as a viewer.
Members, this is a genre that is very exciting for me to be a part of; It is a film that originates from Loka’s story, who she is, what she is, what she became and what she will do now.
