Tumbbad Box Office Day 13: Directed by Rahi Anil Barve and starring Sohum Shah, Tumbbad has made a stunning comeback at the box office during its re-release, becoming a major hit after its original lackluster performance in 2018. Since its return to theaters on September 13, the folk horror thriller has consistently earned over 1 crore daily for 11 days—something it managed only twice during its initial run, which concluded with a total of 13.50 crore. The film's resurgence in popularity can be attributed to its streaming success on various OTT platforms, leading to its re-entry in cinemas and ultimately establishing it as the highest-grossing re-release in Indian box office history.
