Top 5 Gen-Z Creators Review Thamma: Brutal, Honest & Hilarious Takes on Maddock’s Weakest MHCU Film

The Diwali blockbuster Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, might have scared audiences but not in the way Maddock Films intended. As the fifth installment of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU), expectations were sky-high. Unfortunately, the movie’s mixed reception has sparked a meme fest across social media.

From film students to meme makers, India’s Gen-Z creators have dropped some of the most brutally honest (and funniest) reviews you’ll see online. We picked the top 5 reels that perfectly sum up how the new generation feels about Thamma.

What’s fascinating about these Gen-Z reactions is how they reflect the growing sophistication (and impatience) of younger audiences. They don’t just want jump scares or glossy leads — they want stories that make sense, humor that hits, and worlds that connect.

If Thamma proves anything, it’s that cinematic universes can’t survive on star power alone. The youth audience, especially on Instagram, can spot lazy writing from a mile away — and they’ll roast it in 4K.
