Another fan wrote, "This is what i expected, though the visuals could have been better, it seems they saved the best for Mahayudh #"
Drawing a parallel with Akshay Kumar's Bhoot Bungla, A fan wrote, "#Thama poster didn't match quality of #AkshayKumar Sir's Bhoot Bungla movie posters. Man this movie could have been riot at the Box office if it got diwali release like thama. But now we have to wait till next year April."

Another fan wrote, "Delivers exactly what you'd expect from this universe. Now that it's leaning more into the fantasy side, I just hope the VFX-CGI stays consistent. Wishing for a more mature tone this time... and Nawaz, please don't go overboard with the acting. #Thama"

Another fan wrote, "Presenting another copy paste from #bollywood, sab utarva dete hai. Cheap copy of Twilight in form of #Thama #ThamaThisDiwali."
For some, Nawazuddin Siddiqui' is the USP of the teaser. For others, "Cringe Nawaz, weird grading, boring teaser... #Thama already feels like the weakest link in the Maddock Cinematic Universe."
