What a historic run the Tumbbad re-release is enjoying in theatres. Sohum Shah and the team have reasons to celebrate, as their folk horror is now the highest-grossing Indian re-release. It has surpassed Thalapathy Vijay’s Ghilli, Laila Majnu, and others to achieve the big feat. Scroll below for box office update on day 11.
Tumbbad was originally released in 2018. Despite good critic reviews, the audience did not show much interest in Rahi Anil Barve’s directorial. But over the years, the content choices have changed. With few options in theatres, it was the perfect time for the makers to re-release their film and finally garner its due credit. The pre-release hype was massive, and it very well converted into footfalls.
