Horror Universe’s new film ‘Thamaa’ has started making waves as soon as it is released. It has become the second highest opening film in this universe after ‘Stree 2’. Within two days it seemed that it was going to be a hit. The film’s hero Ayushmann Khurrana will be happy that after four flops and only one successful film in the last five years, he can finally get a big hit. But for ‘Thama’ lead actress Rashmika Mandanna, this blockbuster box office success is just another normal day at work.
Understand at what stage of success Rashmika is at present – she brought the biggest opening in Ayushmann’s career.held‘, Rashmika’s smallest opening Bollywood film in the last three years! But the proof of Rashmika’s current success is another very big fact…
With Rashmika, Heroes got blockbuster success.
This question has been raised on Rashmika that she has not given the type of performance that wins the hearts of any critics. All her roles have been that of the hero’s girlfriend and wife. However, prejudice against mainstream cinema is also often a reason behind these complaints.
But no one can deny that whatever the role, the audience’s attention does not divert from Rashmika. And a big factor in his career is that in the last five years, his association has given not one or two but five actors the biggest films of their careers.
Allu Arjun was definitely a big star earlier too but only in Telugu films. Her first pan-India film ‘Pushpa’ was released in 2021. Rashmika was the lead actress with Arjun in the film and was winning the hearts of the audience in the role of Srivalli. ‘Pushpa’ became the biggest film of Allu Arjun’s career with a worldwide collection of Rs 365 crore. Its collection was Rs 100 crore more than Arjun’s previous top film.
In 2022, Dulquer Salmaan, who has worked in Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil, did his first pan India film ‘Sita Ramam’. Rashmika Mandanna There was no opposite Dulquer in this. But he had an important and big role. With a worldwide collection of more than Rs 98 crore, ‘Sita Ramam’ became the biggest film of Dulquer’s career.
Rashmika’s career is on a different level from 2023
Ranbir Kapoor was considered a powerful actor and the next potential superstar of Bollywood for a long time. But the box office success supporting these claims was missing from their account. Sandeep Reddy Vanga cast Ranbir in his pan India film ‘Animal’ and gave the role of his wife to Rashmika. ‘Animal’, released in 2023, is today one of the biggest all-time blockbuster films of Bollywood. With worldwide collection of more than 900 crores.
In 2024, Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna come together once again for ‘Pushpa 2’. With almost Rs 1900 crore collection, even without release or re-release in China, it is India’s biggest film today. Not just about Allu Arjun’s career!
Earlier this year, Rashmika was the female lead of Vicky Kaushal starrer ‘Chhaava’. With a worldwide collection of more than Rs 800 crore, ‘Chhaava’ is the biggest Indian film of this year. Vicky was considered a strong actor from the very beginning, but hardly anyone would have thought that one day he would bring such success at the box office. But now this has also happened and when this happened, Rashmika Mandanna was with Vicky.
Now Rashmika’s film ‘Thama’ with Ayushmann has earned more than Rs 50 crore in three days. It is ready to earn Rs 90-100 crore in the very first week. The biggest film of Ayushmann’s career is ‘Dream Girl’ released in 2019, whose net collection was Rs 142 crore. But the way ‘Thama’ is progressing, there is every chance that this is going to be the biggest film of Ayushmann’s career.
This observation does not mean that Allu Arjun, Ranbir Kapoor, Dulquer Salmaan, Vicky Kaushal or Ayushmann were not strong actors. This also does not mean that Rashmika is just a ‘good luck’ factor. Because right now his work in ‘Thama’ is garnering praises. But perhaps the mainstream commercial film is a machinery in which every part has its own role. Actors have to do neither more nor less than that. And when all the parts of this machinery give full performance, then it starts printing money at the box office.
Maybe Rashmika knows this. That’s why she is able to see what the film is going to do on screen only from the script written on paper. What do they have to do in this and after doing this, how much impression will they leave on the public? The art of commercial films is something that is very underrated. But the over-the-top visuals seen on the big screen have a sense of their own which when watched carefully, seems no less than magic. And Rashmika has become a very important part of this mysterious magic trick.
