Thamma Vs Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat: This Diwali 2025 is going to be set for a big bang among the heavyweights in Bollywood – Ayushmann Khurrana paired with Rashmika Mandanna in Thamma and Harshvardhan Rane along with Sonam Bajwa in Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. Both movies release on October 21, 2025, slightly promising two contrasting cinematic experiences. One with spook and style, and the other mellow and musical. But who shall win the festive bonanza? So, let’s find out.
Thamma is produced by Maddock Films and is the next installation in its already successful horror-comedy universe. At a whopping ₹145 crore budget, what with star power and energies of heavy promotions, Thamma is being hailed as one of the most ambitious ventures to hit the season.
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, by contrast, is a typical route-the romance musical drama surrounded by melody and emotion. Starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, the film’s strongest point lies in the music album, which already made headway into streaming platforms.
Thamma is showing a clear lead in initial trends. According to trade reports, the movie has minted ₹1.7 crore at the advance sales with more than 60,000 tickets sold two days before release. Other estimates suggest ₹5 crore in Day 1 pre-sales, pointing to one of Ayushmann’s biggest openings ever.
And, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat has fared slightly better than this. With around 5,000 tickets being sold at the biggest chains and the movie expected to open with a net of ₹7-10 crore. This means very limited visibility and buzz; however, walk-in audiences might help collect the numbers from the Diwali holiday window.
Thamma will reckon as the biggest opening weekend in his career for Ayushmann, for different audience appeal and brand backing. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat: lavish to see and perfect to listen to; however, tough competition in multiplexer circuits.

Thamma has an edge in the battle for the Diwali box office 2025. By having better advance bookings, a star-studded cast, and franchise recognition. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat would enjoy success in smaller towns and among music lovers, but right now, the throne for Diwali seems firmly in Thamma’s favor when it comes to the Diwali throne.
