Maddock Horror Comedy Universe Crosses ₹1500 Crore with ‘Thamma’ Triumph, Surpasses KGF and Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe
November 10, 2025 | New Delhi The Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU) has achieved a massive milestone at the box office, crossing the ₹1500 crore mark worldwide. This success comes on the back of the impressive performance of Thamma, the recently released vampire comedy starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. With this achievement, the MHCU has officially overtaken both Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe (₹1411 crore) and the KGF franchise (₹1420 crore), becoming the fourth-highest-grossing Indian film universe. The Maddock Horror Comedy Universe began its journey with the sleeper hit Stree (2018), starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, and has since expanded with films like Bhediya (2022), Munjya (2024), and Stree 2 (2024). The franchise’s unique blend of horror, folklore, and humor has struck a chord with audiences, turning it into one of the most successful Indian cinematic universes in recent years. The production house Maddock Films announced the ₹1500 crore milestone on social media over the weekend. A celebratory poster featuring all the main characters from the franchise—Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Varun Dhawan, and Ayushmann Khurrana—was shared with the caption: “From Chanderi to the moon, the journey of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe will always be unforgettable. Here’s to 1500 crore moments of love and gratitude. #Thamma is running successfully in cinemas now.” While Thamma continues its strong theatrical run, it has already collected over ₹180 crore in just 20 days, and is expected to soon reach the ₹200 crore mark. This solidifies its position as one of the top-performing films of 2025. The biggest success story within the MHCU remains Stree 2, which earned more than ₹870 crore worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of the franchise and one of the biggest hits in Indian cinema history. Meanwhile, Bhediya, starring Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, though critically appreciated, managed ₹95 crore at the box office—making it the only underperformer in the series so far. With this ₹1500 crore mark, the MHCU stands behind only three other major Indian film franchises: the YRF Spy Universe (₹3000+ crore), Baahubali Universe, and Dhoom series. Yet, given its momentum, the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe is quickly climbing the ranks. The future looks bright for the franchise. Maddock Films has announced eight new projects set to release over the next five years. These include sequels to existing hits, new films like Shakti Shalini and Chamunda, and an ambitious two-part crossover event scheduled for release in 2029—expected to bring together all the universe’s leading characters. With its clever storytelling, mix of fear and laughter, and a strong fan following, the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe has carved a unique identity in Indian cinema. From the haunted streets of Chanderi to the supernatural chaos of Thamma, this universe has proven that even the scariest stories can make audiences laugh—and fill theaters too.
