, front-benchers (those rowdy masala munchers) crave that spicy shimmy—it's like ordering biryani and griping about the spice! But lemme groove through the fuss anyway, 'cause Bollywood's outrage machine never sleeps. We're talking the October 14, 2025, song launch event in Mumbai, where these queens dropped killer moves alongside Ayushmann Khurrana's vampy flick (hitting screens Oct 21). Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, Thamma's a horror-comedy romp in Maddock's spookyverse—think Stree meets fangs and flirtation.
The thumkas? Pure item-number fire: hips don't lie, and Malaika (51 and slaying) owned 'em with her signature swagger—white-hot ensemble, playful pelvic pops that screamed "aunty still got it!" Rashmika, in sleek black, matched the energy but got side-eyed for "copycat" vibes echoing Shraddha's Aayi Nai or Tamannaah's Aaj Ki Raat (earlier Thamma track "Tum Mere Na Huye" already sparked that shade). On-screen? Fans are feral: "Rashmika's a powerhouse, setting beats ablaze!" But live at the bash? Oof—netizens roasted Malaika as "super cringe" and "old-person walk," with Reddit's BollyBlindsNGossip calling it "sleazy cheap" vs. "iconic drool-fest." Trolls flooded Insta: "Embarrassing thumkas, Rashmika's lehenga looks Flipkart bargain!" Photogs cheered, but the digital peanut gallery? Pitchforks for "vulgar" shakes and "outshining fails."You're spot-on: It's not Bharatanatyam, and the makers never pitched it as Swan Lake. This is Bollywood's guilty-pleasure lane—sizzle for the stalls, not subtlety for the stalls. The fuss? Classic desi duality: We stan the seduction on reel, then clutch pearls IRL. Malaika's been thumka-ing since Munna Bhai, Rashmika's evolving from Pushpa's "Peelings" drama (where she owned the initial "uncomfy" lifts). Expect more heat as Thamma drops—will it bite box-office big or flop on the flak? Your take's the real tea: Let 'em shake what mama gave! What's next, banning belly laughs? (248 words)
