Tumbbad re-release box office collection Day 1: In an unprecedented turn of events, the re-release of the mythological horror Tumbbad has out-performed this week’s new release, The Buckingham Murders, at the box office. The film, led by Sohum Shah, recorded an opening day collection of Rs 1.65 cr, according to the makers.
The collections are almost three times the earnings of its original release. On its opening day in 2018, the film had earned Rs 65 lakh. Tumbbad has out-performed the Kareena Kapoor-starrer murder mystery film The Buckingham Murders. The Hansal Mehta directorial minted Rs 1.15 cr, while its global gross is at Rs 1.4 cr.
Tumbbad has also out-performed other recent re-releases like Laila Majnu (Rs 30 lakh), Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein (Rs 1.2 cr in three days) and Ranbir Kapoor’s Rockstar, which minted Rs 1.2 cr in two weeks. At this rate, Tumbbad will comfortably emerge as the highest grossing re-release film of recent times, as most of the films ended their gross with box office run under Rs 10 cr. The film will also not face any major obstacles at the box office, as there aren’t many major releases.
The makers on Friday also announced that Tumbbad 2 is in the works. The surprise announcement was made at the end of the theatrical re-release. Tumbbad is currently not available on any OTT platforms.
