Tumbbad Box Office Collection Day 3: Sohum’s Film Crosses 7Cr Post Re-release; Beats The Buckingham Murders

Tumbbad Box Office Collection Day 3: Sohum Shah has all the reasons to be on cloud nine today and rightfully so. After all, his much talked about folk horror drama Tumbbad is finally receiving a lot of attention and is doing wonders at the box office. For the uninitiated, Tumbbad, which was originally released in 2018, was directed by Rahi Anil Barve and featured Sohum Shah, Rurdra Soni, Harsh K, Anita Date-Kelkar etc in the lead. Amid the ongoing trends of re-releasing films, Tumbbad has made its way to the theatres once again and opened to a rave response from the audience.

Tumbbad, which is written by Mitesh Shah, Prasad, Rahi Anil Barve, and Anand Gandhi, narrated the story of a village wherein the residents apparently built a temple to worship Hastar, the demon god following which the Gods cursed the village with incessant rain. The story revolved around a Konkanastha Brahmin family who seek an ancestral treasure that has been jinxed by the gods. Interestingly, Tumbbad has managed to garner a lot of praise and made an opening day collection of Rs 1.65 crores which is twice its original day 1 collection.

According to a report published in Sacnilk, Stree 2 minted Rs 3.25 crores on day 3 and took the overall collections to Rs 7.50 crores. To note, Tumbbad is now just 6 crores away from crossing its lifetime collections during the original release.

Interestingly, Tumbbad is witnessing a box office clash with Kareena Kapoor Khan's The Buckingham Murders. Directed by Hansal Mehta, The Buckingham Murders had opened to a slow response from the audience and is facing a tough competition from Tumbbad. According to a report published in Sacnilk, while Tumbbad raked in Rs 3.25 crores on day 3 and took the overall collections to Rs 7.50 crores, The Buckingham Murders had to settle at Rs 2.2 crores taking the total collections to Rs 5.3 crores.

Meanwhile, given the phenomenal response to Tumbbad, Sohum Shah has announced Tumbbad 2 with an intriguing teaser featuring characters Vinayak and his son Pandurang, with a voiceover from Sohum Shah saying, "Samay ka pahiya gol hai, jo beet gaya woh fir laut ke aayega...darwaaza bhi ek baar phir khulega"
