Brace yourselves, Bollywood stans, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna just dropped the trailer for Thamma, and the internet is in peak split-personality mode. On one side, fans are raving about vampires in the desi juggernaut Maddock Horror-Comedy Universe (MHCU), while the other half is already lining up their “same jokes, yaar” memes. But guess what? Amongst all the fangirling and facepalms, Shraddha Kapoor just walked in, said “move over, MCU,” and broke the internet. Let’s break down all the viral moments, snarky reactions, and why Diwali 2025 will be extra dramatic, one snackable slide at a time.

- The One Where The Trailer Tries To Bite (But Chews Safely)
Thamma’s trailer promises a “bloody love story,” but, bro, even the punchlines feel like that WhatsApp uncle who forwards the same meme every week. The 2:54 minutes are packed with viral audios, vampire-vs-vampire teases, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui looking menacing AF as Yakshasan (so, mood). Early reactions? Some peeps are hyped about “fresh-fun,” others are on “yeh sab pehle bhi dekha hai” mode.

Varun’s Wolf-Cameo = Instant Hype Injector
Wait, was that Bhediya lurking in the shadows? Yep, Varun Dhawan’s upgraded wolf avatar pops up as a full-on Easter egg, instantly sending fans into a crossover meltdown. Universe-building stans are living for it, finally, someone doing the MCU playbook with a desi tadka. This “connection” keeps the whole franchise buzzing post-Stree 2 and Munjya, signaling that all our horror-comedy faves are primed for a Multi-Monster Madness moment.Shraddha Kapoor: The Real Show-Stopper (Meena-Kumari Vibes FTW)
Move over fangs and fur, Shraddha Kapoor’s entry at the Mumbai launch had the internet eating out of her hand. Dripping in a retro red saree (cue Meena Kumari-core thirst comments), she unveiled the official MHCU logo and declared, “Forget international universes, we have our own desi horror universe”, immediately becoming the bolly sentiment.

Universe Upgrade: Choti Stree And The Big Monsterverse Energy
The launch event wasn’t just a trailer drop; it was a whole universe expansion pack, think WhatsApp group but with monsters. Dinesh Vijan and Shraddha confirmed a new animated prequel, ‘Choti Stree,’ which will bridge straight into Stree 3 (yep, animated-to-live-action level IP flex). The movie’s now the fifth stone in MHCU’s infinity gauntlet, with release set for October 21, 2025, just in time for Diwali fireworks, literal and metaphorical.So…Watchlist Or Waitlist?
Look, if you’re a sucker for interconnected universes and fang-tastic romance, this has to go on your watchlist (at least for the chaos). TRP is riding on Varun’s cameo, Nawaz as the new vamp-daddy, and Shraddha living her Stree-core dream. But if “seen-it-all” jokes are already making you yawn, maybe wait for the songs or early “itna bhi scary nahi tha” reviews. Trailer dropped September 26, 2025, movie hits cinemas October 21, a Diwali dhamaka that may just surprise you, or at least fuel meme wars.
Thamma’s trailer is doing what all good teasers should: split the internet, hijack your feed, and polarize group chats harder than pineapple on pizza. So, are you Team ‘Bloody Good’ or Team ‘Bas theek hai’?
