Tumbbad Re-Release Advance Bookings: Sohum Shah’s horror-drama sells an EXCELLENT 6000 tickets in top chains for opening day, 2 of days before release

Tumbbad directed by Rahi Anil Barve and starring Sohum Shah in a titular role is all set for a re-release in theatres. When the movie released in theatres back in 2018, it was not very well received as it only neted a little over Rs 12 crore. Yes, the film trended well considering that it reached Rs 12 crore after opening in the vicinity of Rs 50 lakh but that was never going to be enough.

Over time, Tumbbad gained a cult status and owing to its growing popularity and the fact that nostalgia viewing is picking up, makers thought to re-release their film and this may prove to be the best decision that they’ve ever made.

Tumbbad Has Sold An Excellent 6000 Tickets In Top National Chains For Opening Day, 2 Days Before Release

The makers of Tumbbad have gone all out with the re-release of their film on the 13th of September and the results are showing as the movie has already sold 6000 tickets in top national chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis for the opening day, 2 days before release. Of the 6000 tickets sold in top chains, PVRInox have contributed more than 4000 tickets and Cinepolis has contributed just under 2000 tickets. While the exact showcasing of the movie is not known yet, it seems like it will secure a good number of screens for itself considering the ticketing pressure that is already visible.

With 2 days to go, it looks like the Sohum Shah film will comfortably sell over 20000 tickets in top chains by the end of its advance. It is all set to become the highest collecting film on the first day of re-release. This may sound strange but Tumbbad is looking to more than quadruple its original opening day, on the first day of re-release. 

Tumbbad’s Advance Bookings Are Proving That Few Films Are Actually Ahead Of Time

Tumbbad with its advances is proving that few films are actually ahead of their time. It won’t at all be surprising if Tumbbad in its re-release crosses the collections that it posted in the original run, in the very first week of re-release. Tumbbad may well turn out to be a verdict challenging film. In the past, few movies that didn’t do well in their original run did exceedingly well in the re-run and that led to the changing of their verdicts and we are probably going to witness that again; Only that this is happening in the modern era when the movie is available to be watched for free on digital. Even Veer Zaara is re-releasing on 13th September but the release is not as extensive.

Netflix has been home to the vision of several female filmmakers and storytellers and has offered them a safe space for narratives focused on women, by women. These movies not only entertain but also address critical issues like societal expectations, gender roles, and personal empowerment. Here are some of the most mind-blowing movies written for women by women, now streaming on Netflix.

 

7 Netflix movies written by women for women that are too good to miss

 

1. Thank You for Coming

Thank You for Coming is written by Radhika Anand and Prashasti Singh and centers around a woman’s journey toward self-discovery in her 30s, an age often fraught with societal expectations and personal dilemmas. What stands out in the film is the honest portrayal of female sexuality—a topic rarely explored sensitively in mainstream Indian cinema.

Bhumi Pednekar’s lead character breaks taboos while searching for fulfillment in this one. The movie pushes boundaries while remaining humorous and relatable, ensuring that its female audience feels seen and heard. The chemistry between Pednekar and her friends (played by Shehnaaz and Kusha) is heartwarming.

 

2. Sukhee

 

Cast: Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Kusha Kapila
IMDb Rating: 6/10

Sukhee is a story of a middle-aged housewife who rediscovers her identity after a life of routine and domesticity. Shilpa Shetty plays the central role of Sukhee, a woman who takes a solo trip away from her family and responsibilities, in search of herself. This movie written by Radhika Anand and Paulomi Dutta speaks directly to women who have lost their sense of individuality amidst familial obligations.

Sukhee’s journey will resonate with many women who struggle to balance their own desires with their role as caregivers. The film promotes the idea that self-care and personal growth are not selfish but necessary. It encourages women to prioritize their happiness, even within the constraints of a traditionally patriarchal setup.

Laapataa Ladies, set in rural India, follows the story of two women who get exchanged on the train right after their weddings. The film offers a satirical take on patriarchal society and the absurdities of marriage traditions in certain communities. The film uses humor and wit to bring attention to serious issues faced by women in patriarchal societies.

This movie written by Sneha Desai and Divyanidhi Sharma serves as a commentary on the limited roles women are often forced into and highlights the importance of freedom, choice, and individuality. It challenges viewers to rethink how society perceives and treats women, making it a must-watch for anyone seeking meaningful entertainment with a message.

Bulbbul is a supernatural thriller set in colonial Bengal, revolving around a young bride, Bulbbul, who transforms from an innocent girl into a mysterious, powerful woman. The film touches on issues like child marriage, abuse, and societal oppression, using a gothic horror aesthetic to tell a very grounded story about female empowerment and revenge against patriarchy.

The haunting visuals and the mesmerizing performance by Triptii Dimri make this film a must-watch. Bulbbul is a powerful narrative written by Anvita Dutt on reclaiming agency and breaking free from the chains of societal oppression. Its dark, atmospheric storytelling reflects the hidden strength within every woman and the consequences of pushing them too far.

Tripti Dimri once again delivers a striking performance as the protagonist in a story written by the ever-talented Anvita Dutta.

Qala serves as an important reminder that women, too, face immense pressure to succeed and be perfect. It encourages audiences to embrace vulnerability and seek mental well-being while fighting against gender-based discrimination.
