She falls for him, but their worlds collide, leading to supernatural consequences and a battle for survival.</p><img><p>Part of the Maddock Horror Universe, ‘Thamma’ lacks the emotional core of its predecessors like ‘Stree’. While the concept is good, the execution falters, failing to connect with the audience.</p><img><p>First half’s romance and action are engaging, but the comedy falls flat. The second half has twists, but the horror and thrill elements are weak, which is a major drawback for the film.</p><img><p>Rashmika Mandanna is the hero of the film, shining in her role as Tadaka.
