'Tumbbad' re-release triumphs at box office
The re-release of Tumbbad has broken its own opening day box office record, earning three times more than its original 2018 release. The film grossed ₹1.50 crore, surpassing Kareena Kapoor Khan's latest film, The Buckingham Murders, which earned ₹1.15 crore on its opening day. Despite being initially declared a flop with a budget of ₹15 crore, the re-released version is expected to fare monumentally better.
