The re-release of Tumbbad has made waves at the box office, setting a new benchmark for cinematic re-releases in India. The film, which initially garnered Rs 1.65 crore on its opening day, saw a substantial rise in earnings on its second day, amassing Rs 2.65 crore. This impressive growth has propelled Tumbbad to a total of Rs 4.3 crore in just two days, marking it as the highest-grossing re-release in Indian cinema history.
Directed by Rahi Anil Barve and produced with the visionary support of Anand Gandhi, Tumbbad continues to captivate audiences with its distinctive horror-fantasy narrative. Despite being unavailable on streaming platforms, the film’s theatrical re-release has sparked considerable excitement, showcasing the film’s enduring appeal and the renewed interest in its atmospheric and captivating storytelling.
The film’s re-release is bolstered by Eros International’s robust distribution network and highlights a talented ensemble cast, including Jyoti Malshe, Anita Date-Kelkar, and Sohum Shah. Produced by Sohum Shah Films along with Aanand L Rai, Mukesh Shah, and Amita Shah, Tumbbad has reasserted its place as a cinematic gem. The film's resurgence reflects the evolving landscape of film re-releases and the continued appreciation for cinematic classics.
On the other hand, Kareena Kapoor Khan's The Buckingham Murders was also released last Friday. The film marking Kareena's debut as a producer minted just Rs 1.25 crore on Day 1, which is not a good number to start with after competing with an old film.
