Tumbbad Re-Release: Sohum Shah Starrer Surpasses Opening Day, Sets Up Long Run
Rahi Anil Barve’s critically acclaimed Tumbbad, starring Sohum Shah, is enjoying a highly successful re-release, outshining its original performance at the box office. After its re-release on September 13, 2024, the film has been gaining momentum and is on track to collect more during its second run than it did when first released.
Key Highlights:
- Tumbbad collects more on day 4 than its re-release opening day.
- Tumbbad 2 has been officially confirmed by the film’s creators.
- The film is now playing in theaters across India.
Tumbbad, which hit theaters again after six years, opened to an impressive Rs 1.50 crore on its first day, making it the highest-grossing re-release for a Hindi film. Over the weekend, the film saw a significant boost, with Saturday and Sunday collections propelling the weekend total to Rs 6.75 crore. On Monday, which coincided with Eid-E-Milad, the film continued its upward trend, bringing in Rs 1.60 crore, surpassing its opening day re-release numbers. With Ganesh Visarjan on Tuesday, the film is expected to maintain this momentum.
Tumbbad Beats Original Opening Week Collection in Re-Release
The re-release is projected to bring in over Rs 10 crore in its first week, more than double its original opening week earnings of Rs 5 crore. While it’s hard to predict the total box office haul for this second run, it’s clear that Tumbbad will comfortably exceed its initial performance. The film’s success in theaters, despite being available on streaming platforms, shows how much audiences appreciate the big-screen experience. The overwhelming response has also reignited excitement for the much-anticipated sequel, Tumbbad 2, which has officially been announced, six years after the first movie’s release. Initial doubts from investors about a sequel have now been put to rest, as the re-release’s success proves the strong demand for more from the Tumbbad universe.

The film’s resurgence in popularity and the anticipation for Tumbbad 2 suggest the sequel will likely be another box office success. Fans are eagerly awaiting what comes next, and given the trend of sequels performing well at the box office, Tumbbad 2 is expected to follow suit.
