On its eleventh day at the Indian box office, Sohum Shah's Tumbbad surpassed Ghilli to become India's highest-grossing picture during its re-release. Tumbbad, directed by Rahi Anil Barve and starring Sohum Shah, debuted poorly in theaters but has since made an impressive comeback. Following its second weekend, the film's re-release grossed more than Rs 20 crore net. It has now become the highest-grossing re-release in the country, surpassing Ghilli, which was a huge smash when it was launched in the mid-2000s.
With a total net collection of Rs 33 crore and good performance continuing into its second week, Tumbbad is on course to earn a final total of around Rs 45 crore. The directors are also considering a wider worldwide release, which might boost the film's success. Tumbbad earned Rs 12 crore during its initial run and has more than doubled its lifetime revenues in this re-release, demonstrating its ongoing appeal. This situation exemplifies a film that was well ahead of its time.
