Thamma vs Ek Deewane Ki Deewanit: Of the two films currently at the box office, Ayushmann Khurrana's film has taken the lead in terms of earnings, but Harshvardhan Rane's is close to becoming a hit.
Box office story of Thama and Ek Deewane Ki Deewanit, who earned how much?
"Thama" and "Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat" both hit the box office simultaneously on October 21st. Both films found audiences, but "Thama" earned nearly three times the opening day earnings of "Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat."
While this film from the Maddock Horror Universe is now close to becoming a ₹100 crore box office hit, "Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat" has surpassed it in terms of box office figures.
'Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat' Surpasses 'Thama'; Find Out How
- 'Thama' boasts a large star cast, including Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. Furthermore, the film evokes memories of films like 'Stree' and 'Bhediya,' along with several significant cameos. This explains why the film's daily earnings are higher than 'Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat'.
- Despite this, 'Thama' lags behind in one crucial aspect: budget recovery. There's a stark difference between the budgets of the two films.
- According to the Times of India, 'Thama' was made at a cost of ₹145 crore (145 crore rupees), while according to Koimoi, 'Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat' was made at a cost of just ₹25 crore (25 crore rupees).
- According to the syndication of both films, 'Thama' has grossed over ₹60 crore. It now needs to earn around ₹80 crore to recover its budget.
- Meanwhile, "Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat," made at a budget of just ₹25 crore, has already earned over ₹25 crore and recovered its entire budget. Clearly, Sonam Bajwa and Harshvardhan Rane's film has surpassed Ayushmann Khurrana's in terms of budget recovery.
What were the positives of 'Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat'?
- While 'Thama' was promoted so heavily and boasted a star-studded cast that the film's budget reached nearly 150 crore rupees, 'Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat' found an audience solely through word of mouth.
- No significant expenditure was made on the film's promotion. This is why it is poised to become a success, having already spent its entire budget before 'Thama'. Actor Harshvardhan himself has taken a van on a tour of India, and that's the only promotional benefit, nothing more.
