Fri Sep 13 20:47:33 UTC 2024: ## Tumbbad’s Re-release Makes a Splash, Outperforming New Release ‘The Buckingham Murders’
**Mumbai, India** – The re-release of the critically acclaimed horror film “Tumbbad” has made a strong start at the box office, collecting a remarkable Rs 1.50 crore on its first day. This surpasses the opening day collection of the new Hindi mystery-drama “The Buckingham Murders,” which only managed to bring in Rs 1.10 crore.
“Tumbbad,” originally released in 2018, gained a cult following after its digital release despite a lukewarm initial response in theaters. The film’s re-release has sparked renewed interest, with its opening day collection being three times higher than its original opening.
Industry experts believe that if “Tumbbad” can maintain its momentum for a week or more, it could potentially surpass its original box office run. This would be a significant achievement for the film, especially considering its availability on digital platforms.
“Tumbbad,” directed by Rahi Anil Barve and starring Sohum Shah, tells the story of a family who encounters catastrophic consequences after attempting to acquire cursed wealth from a monstrous entity. The film’s unique blend of horror, mythology, and social commentary has resonated with audiences, making its re-release a welcome event for fans.
With “Tumbbad” making such a strong comeback, it remains to be seen if it can truly become a box office success story, proving that a film’s potential can be discovered and appreciated even years after its initial release.
