Bollywood Buzz: Malaika Arora Shines in Dinesh Vijan’s New Horror Flick ‘Thama Movie’
Mumbai – Dinesh Vijan is expanding his horror universe with Thama Movie, a spine-chilling mix of vampire thrills, folklore, and a show-stopping item number featuring Malaika Arora. But reactions online are far from unanimous, with fans serving a mix of praise, playful shade, and cautious curiosity.
The teaser has sparked lively debate on social media. One fan tweeted, “This feels like the Stree universe took a tumble with Rashmika’s debut,” while another offered a more hopeful take: “It’s got that fantasy vibe we love—praying the VFX delivers!”
Some viewers drew comparisons to Akshay Kumar’s Bhoot Bangla, with one posting, “That Thama Movie poster doesn’t match Bhoot Bangla’s energy. A Diwali release could’ve been a box office hit!” Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s role is getting attention too, though reactions are mixed. One critic remarked, “Nawaz’s over-the-top vibe and unusual color grading make this teaser the weakest link in Maddock’s universe.”
Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, with a screenplay by Niren Bhatt, Arun Fulara, and Suresh Mathew, Thama Movie also features Paresh Rawal in a pivotal role. Set to hit theaters this Diwali, fans are buzzing to see whether it will carry forward the Stree legacy or forge its own spooky identity.
