This Diwali, Bollywood is going to witness a supernatural romance-thriller, Thamma, a spellbinding impact of mystery, mythology, and emotion. Featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal, the film is another major release of the festive season.
Thamma is being produced on a large scale and is being planned as a romance-horror. Touted as the first of its kind deep-layered supernatural thriller, Thamma is a deep dive into the folklore and mythology of India to reveal the hidden mysteries of one of the oldest enigmas of the human race — vampirism.
The Plot: A Historian’s Journey into Darkness
A major character of Thamma is Ayushmann Khurrana portraying a brilliant but skeptical historian who has an obsession with ancient Indian literature and the unsolved lugubrious legends. He builds his latest research around a so-called forgotten village over the outskirts of the city and the whispers of “Thamma,” an ancient immortal being.
The story of Khurrana’s character unfolds with the revelation of hidden blood-rituals intertwined with curses of a medieval time and a buried epic love saga. What starts as a simple historical research is a personal haunting deriving the pursuit of Khurrana’s character and ultimately leads to a mystical Rashmika Mandanna who knows far more than she lets on.
Is she a defender, a target, or the very being he has been pursuing? As love, fear, and fate intertwine, the boundary between reality and fiction starts to fade.
Myth and Reality Collide
Axing the reality of his role, Ayushmann Khurrana enters a new phase. With a distinctive and unsettling performance, Rashmika Mandanna adds a suspicious etherealness to her character. As the local priest and guardian of a dark secret, Nawazuddin Siddiqui adds complexity.
In his role as a mentor, Paresh Rawal provides Ayushmann’s character with the mentoring he needs to navigate the deeper realms. Rawal’s presence is a source of much-needed balance and authority.
