Diwali 2025 is going to be a cinematic showdown of epic proportions with two very much-awaited films facing off: Son of Sardaar 2 vs Thama. Which cinematic experience will one enjoy alone?
Son of Sardaar 2 is one of the most anticipated sequels to the 2012 hit, which featured Ajay Devgn in a rollicking comedy-action role. The first film was a crowd-pleaser, appreciated for its humour, action sequences, and the magnetic presence of Devgn. The sequel promises to bring more of the same, with Devgn returning to the role that audiences loved. With the success of the first part, expectations for Son of Sardaar 2 are sky-high.
On the other side, we have Thama, which is Maddock Films’ horror-comedy. With hits such as Stree and Roohi, Maddock Films have carved a niche out in the genre. Thama looks like it promises more scares and laughs only the Maddock film can give. The first look featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna is already generating buzz around this fresh pairing.
The titan of Indian cinema, Ajay Devgn, is no stranger to the excitement of box office battles. Having worked as an actor for more than thirty years, he has established a reputation for playing a variety of parts, but he is also known for playing high-stakes games called festive releases. As we approach Diwali 2024, anticipation is building around the clashes between Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, those two films to illuminate our silver screens.
Ajay Devgn’s box office battle history is as colourful as his filmography, sharing screen space with some of the biggest stars in Bollywood for some memorable clashes. He stood on Akshay Kumar’s turf again in 2024 with Maidaan vs. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which kicked off the competition.
Last year, his film Thank God clashed with Kumar’s Ram Setu, and the latter had the upper hand at the box office. And who can forget the clash of 2010, when Golmaal 3 defeated Action Replayy? It was a clash of titans, where Golmaal 3 came out on top, flaunting Devgn’s comedic prowess and appeal to the masses.
These collisions not only bring excitement for the fan fraternity but also raise disputes about which movie will hit the box office. Approaching this Diwali clash, it is indeed certain that these clashes feature an event-like status since Ajay Devgn arrives on the big screen as part of the clash and always brings some excitement or charm to make every film an eventful release.
