Thamma, Grisly Take On Chandamama Stories
A Subhash K Jha Review
Producers Maddock Films tap into mankind's fear of the unknown, bringing creatures lurking in forests to the limelight.
Thamma is built for audiences who loved Stree and Kantara, with a fierce mythological passion and tribalism.
There is an ironic subversion of historical data in the passionate repudiation of all rationale explanation to the weird goings-on.
Thamma opens with Alexander (The Great) stalking the jungles with a colonial sneer.
