EXCLUSIVE: After Laila Majnu and Rockstar, Tumbbad to re-release in cinema halls on August 30
After the successful theatrical re-runs of several movies including Laila Majnu and Rockstar, Pinkvilla has learned that Sohum Shah's Tumbbad is also making a monumental return to the big screen.
If you're thinking that the golden era of wholesome re-releases is ending, then take a back seat, viewers, because Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that Tumbbad is coming to theaters near you. This Sohum Shah-fronted, folk-based horror film will be re-released for cinema lovers on August 30th, 2024.
Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, Tumbbad was co-written by Barve alongside Mitesh Shah, Adesh Prasad, and Anand Gandhi. It was first released on October 12, 2018, and was bankrolled by Sohum Shah, Aanand L. Rai, Mukesh Shah, and Amita Shah.
The movie follows the central character's hunt for a hidden 20th-century treasure in a village named Tumbbad and also stars Harish Khanna, Jyoti Malshe, Rudra Soni, and Madhav Hari Joshi, among others. Tumbbad created history by becoming the first Indian film ever to be premiered in the Critics' Week section of the 75th Venice International Film Festival.
Later, Tumbbad was screened at several film festivals, including the 2018 Fantastic Fest, the Sitges Film Festival, the Screamfest Horror Film Festival, the El Gouna Film Festival, the 23rd International Film Festival of Kerala, the Morbido Film Fest, the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, and the Nitte International Film Festival.
Indian theaters have lately been experiencing some of their busiest windows, with a fresh lineup of movies alongside multiple cult classics making their way back into the audiences' hearts yet again. Several films like Rockstar, Dangal, Laila Majnu, Raja Babu, Love Aaj Kal, Partner, Hum Aapke Hain Koun..., and Maine Pyar Kiya have recently returned to the big screen to entertain audiences—and it still doesn’t feel like enough.
Specifically speaking about the fate of Avinash Tiwary and Triptii Dimri’s classic Laila Majnu, Pinkvilla recently reported that the romantic saga collected ₹2.20 crore during its original run in 2018, and now, after six years, it has surpassed those numbers by a margin of 110 percent—and counting. Aren’t re-releases one of the best things to happen to our cinema-loving hearts? Share your thoughts @pinkvilla.
