Tumbbad Enjoys Box Office Resurgence In Re-Release, Aims For ₹5 Cr Weekend

Tumbbad Re-Release Box Office Collection Prediction Day 3: Actor-producer Sohum Shah's horror-drama 'Tumbbad' is making a significant impact at the box office following its re-release. Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, 'Tumbbad' initially hit theatres on 12th October 2018. Although it was considered a box office failure at first, it gained cult status over time through OTT platforms and digital satellites. Inspired by the successful re-runs of films like 'Laila Majnu', 'Rockstar', and 'Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein', the creators decided to bring 'Tumbbad' back to cinemas.

The 2018 epic horror saga returned to theatres on 13th September 2024 amid high anticipation. This underrated gem has been outshining Kareena Kapoor Khan's latest release, 'The Buckingham Murders', which premiered on the same day.

Led by Sohum Shah, the supernatural horror-thriller originally flopped at the box office in 2018, earning around Rs 65 lakhs on its first day. According to Sacnilk, the film opened strongly upon its re-release, collecting Rs 1.50 crore on the first day. Pinkvilla reported that the movie saw a substantial increase of 45% on its second day, earning approximately Rs 2.20 crore on Saturday. This brought the total collection to Rs 3.70 crore within just two days of its re-release.
