Tumbbad, directed by Rahi Anil Barve and starring Sohum Shah in the titular role is faring very well in its re-release. The horror-mythology drama has smashed its original theatrical run in just 7 days of re-release which is huge for a no-star face movie.
Tumbbad followed the pattern of Imtiaz Ali’s Laila Majnu, which became a success story in its re-release. It has emerged as another Hindi movie to surpass the lifetime box office collection of its original run during its re-release. After smashing a box office collection of Rs 6.7 crore on its first weekend, the movie added around Rs 5.95 crore on the weekdays, taking its cume in the 7 days to Rs 12.65 crore net at the Indian box office.
For the record, the Sohum Shah starrer was initially released in 2018, when it could collect only Rs 12.50 crore in its lifetime at the domestic box office.
Sohum Shah, the lead actor and producer of the film has gone all out in promoting Tumbbad during its re-release and spent a lot of money. That’s what is reflecting at the box office now. The movie is finally getting its theatrical due after attaining cult status over OTT and satellite viewership.
The Rahi Anil Barve-directed film is looking for a huge second Friday tomorrow, courtesy of National Cinema Day, where ticket prices will be slashed to Rs 99. As of 6 PM, Tumbbad has sold around 65,000 tickets in the top three National chains – PVR Inox and Cinepolis.
Tumbbad is expected to collect over Rs 20 crore in its re-release which is certainly good for a 6-year-old movie with no star value. As of now, the total cume of Tumbbad including the original and re-release run has reached Rs 25 crore net in India. Though, the cinematic gem deserves much more than what it is getting. It has set a strong base for its sequel and future parts.
The makers have already announced its sequel and have plans to turn it into a trilogy. If made well, the legacy and brand value of the first part will ensure a bumper opening for future installments.

Despite having done critically acclaimed movies like Bulbbul, Laila Majnu, and Qala, Triptii Dimri earned household recognition after starring in Animal. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga film gave her career a massive boost but did you know her parents had to face several mean comments in her early years?
Recently, while speaking on Kay Beauty by Katrina’s YouTube channel, Triptii recalled the time when she first decided to be an actor. She hailed from Uttarakhand and was born and brought up in Delhi. Dimri recalled that moving to Mumbai was a tough decision for her, including the fact that an actor’s life expects her to go out every day in front of more than 50-60 people in a room.
Triptii Dimri recalled, “There are people in the society and in my family also who said mean things to my parents. Things like ‘Why have you sent your daughter to this profession? She is going to get spoiled; she will hang out with the wrong people, she is going to make wrong choices for herself, no one is going to want to marry her, she is not going to get married now.”

Dimri added that at one point in time, she was confused and losing hope as there would be no work when she woke up. The actress said that she didn’t also have the option of going back to her parents and saying, “No, I have not done it”. In the same conversation, Triptii admitted her parents were extremely overjoyed and proud after the release of her debut film – Laila Majnu.
Soon after the release of Ranbir Kapoor-fronted Animal’s success, Triptii emerged as a national crush and she also reacted to the same at a recent event. “Initially, when I came into the industry, I always wanted people should talk about my work and nothing else. Luckily, when my films were released, they spoke about my work. I think these things motivate us actors to do better in life and to keep working on our craft,” the actress said calling herself fortunate.
Later this year, Triptii has three big releases lined up. Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video with Rajkummar Rao, Bhool Bhulaiyya 3 with Kartik Aaryan, and Dhadak 2 with Siddhant Chaturvedi.
