Sohum Shah Tumbbad Re-release

Filmmaker Rahi Anil Barve is deeply moved as his iconic mythological horror film Tumbbad is set for a re-release. First hitting theaters in 2018, the film received widespread critical acclaim, developed a loyal cult following, and became an unexpected success. Now, years later, Barve has opened up by sharing two personal diary entries from 2011 and 2012, amounting to nearly 4,000 words, in which he reflects on the challenging 15-year journey that went into making Tumbbad a reality.

Presented by Eros Now and starring Sohum Shah, Tumbbad was directed by Barve, with Anand Gandhi serving as the creative director and Adesh Prasad as co-director. The screenplay was crafted by Mitesh Shah, Prasad, Barve, and Gandhi, while the film was produced by Sohum Shah, Aanand L. Rai, Mukesh Shah, and Amita Shah. The movie also features Jyoti Malshe and Anita Date-Kelkar. Rahi’s first diary entry dates back to October 25, 2011, and the second is from February 2, 2012. Barve explained that his intention in sharing these entries publicly was to inspire young filmmakers who aspire to create their own movies.

The first diary entry recounts how Barve was introduced to a "banal horror" story by Narayan Dharap, which a friend narrated to him while they were camping in the forests of Nagzira in 1993. Although he can't pinpoint the exact moment when he decided to turn it into a film, Barve shared that his first draft and storyboard began taking shape around 1996/97.

Tumbbad 2 announcement

Taking to his Instagram account on Saturday, Sohum made the announcement through a video teaser that features 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 (Time moves in circles. What happened in the past will return again… The door will reopen)."

The teaser ends with the ominous words, "Pralay, Pralay phir aayega," hinting at a darker and larger-scale sequel.

In a statement released by the PR team, Sohum Shah, who both starred in and produced the film, expressed his enthusiasm for the sequel. He said, “Tumbbad has been a unique journey and a labor of love for us. The ongoing appreciation it receives reaffirms our belief at Sohum Shah Films that content is paramount.”

He added, “With Tumbbad 2, we aim to elevate the cinematic experience and push boundaries even further. The sequel will delve deeper into the world we’ve created, featuring bigger twists and a more intense exploration of the consequences of unchecked greed.”

Tumbbad box office numbers

Trade expert Taran Adarsh took to his X handle to share the first-day collection numbers of Tumbbad. The caption read, “When #Tumbbad first hit theatres in 2018, it had collected 65 lakhs on Friday, 1.15 cr on Saturday and 1.45 cr on Sunday. In a remarkable twist, the film delivers a big surprise by collecting a significantly higher amount on its re-release Friday.”

According to a report by Sacnilk, “The Buckingham Murders” had a modest opening. Hansal Mehta’s investigative thriller, featuring Kareena Kapoor as a detective, earned ₹1.15 crore on its first day. The film was released in both its original Hinglish version (80% English, 20% Hindi) and a dubbed Hindi version.
