Box Office: 'Tumbbad' Re-Release Scores A Good Opening Day

Mumbai, September 14 - One of the most critically acclaimed folk horror Indian films ever, Tumbbad got re-released on September 13 amid much anticipation and it delivered what was expected from it regarding the box office collection.

Over the last few months, Bollywood has been following the re-release trend of some classic films that are also doing well at the box office. Sensing the big opportunity and obelizing the public demand, producer Sohum Shah and the team announced the re-release of Tumbbad and they also put efforts into promoting the movie.



Per estimates, the film scored approximately 1.60 crores net (1.80+ crores gross) collection on its opening day which is more than 2.5X of its original release's first-day collection (65 lakh). Interestingly, the Tumbbad re-release collection beat the opening day numbers of Kareena Kapoor's new Hindi release The Buckingham Murders which managed to score in the range of 1.25 crores net.

The response to Tumbbad is hardly surprising as it has easily been the most-anticipated Bollywood re-release in recent times. The anticipation for the movie among its target audience led to good pre-sales, followed by a good start at the box office.

Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, Tumbbad scored approximately 13.50 crores net (17.25 crores gross) in its original lifetime run at the domestic box office back in 2018, and this collection is expected to be outgrossed by the re-release's second-weekend collection.
