#THAMMA REVIEW (1st half)
The first half is thoroughly entertaining, packed with humor and engaging moments. @ayushmannk is in TOP form, @iamRashmika is delightful as Tadka. @SirPareshRawal and Geeta Agrawal excel as parents. Promising start with right mix of comedy and charm.— Ashish Singhal (@ImAshi09) October 21, 2025
However, not all initial feedback was positive. A contrasting view labeled the film’s first half as “Weak.”
#Thamma – Weak First Half 🥲
