Tumbbad directed by Rahi Anil Barve and starring Sohum Shah in a titular role re-released in theatres and the response of the film on the first day of re-release is good. The film collected Rs 1.50 crore and that’s more than what the new Hindi release The Buckingham Murders managed on its first day. While Tumbbad has registered an encouraging start, it’s all about what it can do in the days to come that matters.
Tumbbad in its original run had collected slightly over Rs 12 crore. It was declared a flop at the box office but the film did manage to have a decently good trend. It did almost 25 times its opening day in the full run. There was appreciation for the film all across but it didn’t convert into required footfalls. Thanks to a great digital outing, the film gradually gained a cult following for itself. The news of the movie’s re-release spread like wildfire and it is surely visible in the movie’s opening collections which are thrice of the movie’s original opening day back in 2018. This is a big feat since the film is already available to be watched on digital.
If Tumbbad holds its own for a week or so, it will surely fancy matching the collections that it managed in the movie’s original run. That will also help change the movie’s verdict, even if it is marginally. Yes, if the movie supersedes the original collections by a hefty margin, things can get more interesting. There have been films in the past that have had verdict changing re-runs and Tumbbad can be the next. Along with Tumbbad, there also is Veer Zaara that has re-released, although the release size is very small.

Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield collaborated for the first time on John Crowley’s tearjerker romantic drama We Live In Time, but their connection on set was instantaneous and “magical.” Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the Dune Part 2 actress gushed about her effortless bond with Garfield, which also translated on screens.
“There was something very magical that happened straight away,” she said. “We wanted to be great for each other, we wanted to meet each other, and we wanted to be there for each other,” she added. That mutual understanding evolved and became stronger through the course of filming.
By the end of the film, it felt like saying goodbye to a “whole world that we had created and a whole idea of what their lives were.” The Amazing Spider-Man actor also chimed in and resonated with Pugh’s feelings, adding that he looks for the same qualities in a co-star as he does in real-life connections.
“Whether it’s a parent, a friend, a partner, there’s some divine third thing that gets created together that is an energy. Maybe that is chemistry,” he said. It was easier for Garfield to tap into this divine connection because the subject matter hit close to home.
We Live In Time is a decade-spanning story that revolves around Tobias (Garfield) and Almut (Pugh) as they navigate life, careers, and parenthood amidst the latter’s battle with cancer. The Tick Tick Boom actor, who lost his mother to pancreatic cancer in 2019, was familiar with the fatigue and grief that comes while dealing with the terminal illness.
“It was a gift. Grief is a gift. That’s one of the beauties of this film — it frames grief as one of the only access points to true love,” he said of the experience of making this film. The connection to life becomes more profound after experiencing a connection to death.
He hopes that everything he’s channeled through his experiences comes across on screen and provides comfort to others. “What’s amazing is that it’s universal,” the actor said about grief. Despite being unique to each individual, it’s a shared experience that audiences will find relatable in one way or another.
We Live in Time hits theaters on October 11.
