Tumbbad Re-Release Breaks Records with Impressive Box Office Growth
Published at: Sep 15, 2024 at 03:57 PM
The re-release of Tumbbad has taken the Indian box office by storm, setting a new standard for cinematic re-releases. Initially earning Rs 1.65 crore on its first day, the mythological horror film saw a remarkable rise in its second-day earnings, collecting Rs 2.65 crore. This surge has pushed Tumbbad’s total box office collection to Rs 4.3 crore in just two days, cementing its position as the highest-grossing re-release in Indian cinema history.
Directed by Rahi Anil Barve and starring Sohum Shah, Tumbbad originally had a modest performance during its 2018 release but has since garnered a cult following. With its compelling blend of horror and mythology, the film continues to captivate audiences, outshining its original box office figures and setting new records.
In comparison, The Buckingham Murders, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, also released last Friday but struggled to compete with Tumbbad. Marking Kareena's debut as a producer, the Hansal Mehta directorial collected Rs 1.25 crore on Day 1. Despite showing slight growth with Rs 1.95 crore on Day 2, the film’s total collection stands at Rs 3.1 crore, falling short of Tumbbad’s success.
As Tumbbad continues to dominate the box office, its re-release has proven to be a massive hit, significantly outperforming new films and re-establishing itself as a fan-favorite in Indian cinema.
