Tumbbad: From Flop to Superhit After 2024 Re-release
Tumbbad, initially declared a box office flop upon its 2018 release, is experiencing a remarkable resurgence in 2024. The film has successfully crossed its entire lifetime earnings from the original run within just a week of its re-release, signaling a newfound appreciation from audiences.
In a stunning turn of events, Tumbbad has earned Rs. 13.44 crore within its first week, rapidly approaching the Rs. 15 crore mark and eyeing a potential weekend total of Rs. 20 crore. This impressive performance not only eclipses its original box office figures but also aligns with the film's initial production budget, highlighting its unexpected turnaround.
The official handle of Sohum Shah Films shared the box-office collection on social media, it said, “Your love continues to pour in and we are super thrilled! Experience the magical world of Tumbbad once again, running now in cinemas. An @erosnow Release”
With fewer major releases in theaters this week, Tumbbad is poised for continued success, as audiences are flocking to witness the unique blend of horror and folklore that the film offers. The renewed interest could be attributed to word-of-mouth recommendations and a growing cult following, showcasing the film’s artistic merit that may have been overlooked during its first run.
Directed by Rahi Anil Barve and featuring Sohum Shah in a compelling lead role, Tumbbad explores themes of greed and mythology, set against a visually stunning backdrop. Its intricate storytelling and haunting visuals have resonated with viewers, allowing it to carve out a niche in Indian cinema.
