With all the goodwill it has amassed over the years, Tumbbad’s performance has taken the world by surprise. The movie was predicted to perform well given the buzz it successfully generated before its re-release, but the real performance surpassed all predictions. The movie was a hit at the Indian box office even on its first weekend of release, and it will shortly overtake Rockstar to become the highest-grossing Bollywood re-release.
When the movie debuted in 2018, critics greeted it with overwhelmingly good reviews. It received favorable feedback even from the audience, but it could not gain traction by being seen by more people. It gained the recognition it deserved and established a sizable fan following over time, all because of OTT.
With more than 2,400 showings, the Sohum Shah film experienced the largest re-release in Indian film history. When it was first released on Friday, it made 1.65 crores. It saw an increase and made 2.65 crores on Saturday. It surged to 3.04 crores on day three as well, bringing the magnificent three-day total to 7.34 crores at the Indian box office.
In 2018, Tumbbad had a terrible start and earned 3.25 crores during its first weekend of release. In contrast, the picture is performing incredibly well after its re-release, making 7.34 crores, which is 125.84% more than it did during its first weekend of release.
Despite having a budget of 15 crores, the film only made 13.48 crores in revenue and received a flop verdict in 2019. It has a new lease of life now that it is being rerun. With the recent announcement of another part, fans are even more hyped up to see Tumbbad 2 and are re-watching the epic masterpiece amid its re-release.
