Rooted in Indian folklore and mythology, Thamma offers a fresh, desi twist to the world of vampires - blending blood, love, and laughter in equal measure.

Adding layers to the mystery is Sameer (Jitendra Kumar), a college professor whose calm exterior masks a surprisingly complex and secretive side.
