But while the festival of lights is still a few months away, fans of horror comedy don’t have to wait to get their dose of laughter and scares. Here’s a list of five films you can revisit before ‘Thama’ hits the big screen.

Thama Like Horror Comedy Films

Munjya

Aditya Sarpotdar’s ‘Munjya’ combines folklore, music, and supernatural drama with a comic twist. The story follows a young man whose trip to his ancestral village awakens a vengeful spirit tied to his family’s past. Featuring Abhay Verma and Sharvari alongside Sathyaraj and Mona Singh, the film balances spooky tension with laugh-out-loud moments.

Stree

Amar Kaushik’s ‘Stree’ (2018) redefined the horror-comedy genre in Bollywood. Set in the fictional town of Chanderi, the film tells the tale of a mysterious witch who preys on young men at night. With Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles, the film cleverly mixes satire, folklore, and scares, becoming both a critical and commercial hit.

Bhediya

Starring Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, ‘Bhediya’ explores shapeshifting myths inspired by Arunachal Pradesh’s folklore. The story of a man cursed to become a werewolf weaves environmental concerns with supernatural thrills. As the second instalment in Maddock’s horror-comedy franchise, the film carries forward the universe that now welcomes 'Thama'.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa

Priyadarshan’s ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ (2007) remains a cult classic. Featuring Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, and Shiney Ahuja, the psychological-horror-comedy mixes mystery, haunting, and humour seamlessly. Now available on Netflix and Disney+ Hotstar, the film continues to be a fan favourite more than a decade later.

Go Goa Gone

India’s first zombie comedy, ‘Go Goa Gone’, blends witty banter with edge-of-the-seat horror. Starring Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, and Anand Tiwari, the story follows three friends stranded on an island during a zombie outbreak. With its stoner humour and sharp writing, the film has become a cult pick for fans of quirky horror.

With ‘Thama’ gearing up for a grand Diwali release, Maddock Films looks ready to expand its horror-comedy universe once again. Until then, these films on OTT are the perfect way to revisit the blend of fear and fun that Bollywood has mastered in recent years.
