Thamma Director Defends Item Songs Amid Controversy
Ayushmann Khurrana aur Rashmika Mandanna ki film Thamma ne ₹125 crore ka nishchit ankhda paar kar liya hai, lekin isne kahani ke bajay apne teen item geeton ke liye charcha ka vishay ban gayi hai. Film ka nirmaan Dinesh Vijan ke horror-comedy universe ke tahat hua hai, jo ki logon ke beech alag-alag pratikriyaon ko janm de raha hai.
Director Aditya Sarpotdar, jo pehle Munjya ko sambhal chuke hain, ka kehna hai ki is prakar ki aalochana galat hai. Unhone SCREEN se ek interview mein bataya ki ye geet film ki duniya mein ek spasht maqsad ke liye hain. “Ye sab marketing assets hain jo aapko film tak le jaate hain. Ant mein film aapko kya deti hai, wahi maayne rakhta hai. Mere liye, ye geet wahan isliye hain kyunki meri kahani unke madhyam se khul rahi hai,” unhone kaha.
Sarpotdar ne ye bhi point out kiya ki unke purane kaamon mein aise geeton par kisi ko koi samasya nahi thi. “Ye wahi darshak hain jinhone Munjya aur Aaj Ki Raat mein Taras ka maza liya. Tab kisi ko koi samasya nahi thi. Lekin ab, achanak ye ek samasya ban gayi hai. Shayad ye ab adhik baar ho raha hai, isliye log alag tareeke se pratikriya de rahe hain,” unhone samjhaaya.
Apne kalpana ka samarthan karte hue, director ne kaha ki Thamma ki vampire duniya ne adhik shaan aur shok ke liye bulaya hai. Unhone kaha ki log bina dekhe hi judge karte hain, lekin wo khush hain ki log film dekhne aaye hain.
Maddock Films ki horror-comedy universe mein agla film Shakti Shalini hai, jisme Aneet Padda ka netritva hai, jo ek aur kahani ka milan prastut karta hai, jisme mithak, sangeet, aur hungama shamil hai.
Thamma ko 21 October 2025 ko theatres mein release kiya gaya tha. Is film mein Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, aur Paresh Rawal jaise kalakar hain, aur ye Maddock ki horror-comedy universe mein ek naya adhyay hai. Kahani Alok (Ayushmann Khurrana) ke ird-gird ghoomti hai, jo ek patrakar hai, aur uski zindagi ek ajeeb mod leti hai jab wo Tadaka (Rashmika Mandanna) se milta hai, jo ek prachin clan ki rahne wali hai.
