Tumbbad, with all the goodwill it has earned over the years, has surprised everyone with its performance. Considering the buzz the film successfully created before its re-release, it was expected to do well, but the actual performance exceeded all projections and expectations. Within the opening weekend itself, the film emerged as a success story at the Indian box office, and soon, it’ll become the highest-grossing Bollywood re-release, surpassing Rockstar.
Initial box office run of Tumbbad
The film was originally released in 2018 and was welcomed with highly positive reviews from critics. Even among the audience, it enjoyed positive word-of-mouth but failed to make it big by reaching a wider audience. All thanks to OTT, it got the deserved exposure and, over the years, earned a huge fan base.
Theatrically, Tumbbad was a flop during its initial run. Made on a budget of 15 crores, it did a business of just 13.48 crores and was given a losing verdict. Now, in the form of a re-run, it has got a new life.
