Tumbbad's Box Office Day 1 Forecast: A Battle Against The Buckingham Murders

Tumbbad Box Office Collection Day 1 Prediction: The Indian box office has seen a trend of re-releasing iconic hits. This began with Salman Khan and Bhagyashree's Maine Pyar Kiya. Other classics like Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein and Veer Zara followed suit. Now, Sohum Shah's Tumbbad, a folk horror film from 2018, joins the list.

Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, Tumbbad was penned by Mitesh Shah, Prasad, Rahi Anil Barve, and Anand Gandhi. The film stars Sohum Shah, Rudra Soni, Harsh K., and Anita Date-Kelkar. The story revolves around a hidden treasure in Tumbbad village, Maharashtra. The villagers built a temple for Hastar, angering the Gods who cursed them with endless rain.

With Tumbbad's re-release in theatres, there is speculation about its box office performance. Originally released in 2018, it earned Rs 65 lakhs on its opening day. Film business expert and producer Girish Johar shared his thoughts with Filmibeat. He mentioned that the initial buzz suggests Tumbbad might again earn around Rs 65 lakhs on its first day. However, word of mouth could boost these numbers.

Tumbbad faces competition from Kareena Kapoor Khan's The Buckingham Murders at the box office. There are questions about whether Tumbbad can outperform this crime thriller on its opening day. While Tumbbad is expected to earn around Rs 65 lakhs today, The Buckingham Murders is projected to collect between Rs 1.5-2 crores on its first day. It appears that Tumbbad will not surpass The Buckingham Murders in opening day collections.

The re-release of Tumbbad brings nostalgia for many fans who missed it during its initial run or wish to experience it again on the big screen. This trend of re-releasing classic films has been well-received by audiences who enjoy revisiting these cinematic gems.

As both films continue their box office journey, it will be interesting to see how they perform over the coming days and weeks. While Tumbbad may not beat The Buckingham Murders initially, strong word of mouth could potentially improve its overall performance.
