Intro:
Six years ago there was a movie was released by the title Tumbbad which in reality was expected to gross a mere ₹3.25 crore On the opening weekend, the film grossed 25 crore. Although this was a horror genre and therefore as per the trends should have had a significant theatrical release, it didn’t receive much appreciation there but rather flourished when it came out on OTT platforms. After that, the film became an overnight hit on the online platform, and millions of viewers found it on streaming platforms. Hearing its re-release, Tumbbad is showing again that it is a unique and remarkable film that was successful both at the box office and in getting the public’s attention.
When the news of the re-release of Tumbbad Returns Cult Classic first hit the various trade gurus, they couldn’t quite believe it. Still, it was already released on Amazon Prime Video and it was an ‘Art House’ film that had not been a mainstream hit when first released. Furthermore, the interpretation of horror that was delivered in this film was something that people didn’t come to watch during its release period as it was quite serious. Therefore, it was expected that it would do fairly well and any extra was the bonus.
A change of events that was not expected:
But fast forward to the present, and Tumbbad’s second trailer is setting records and everyone in the industry is amazed. The movie has experienced an immense revival in the coming weekend as compared to the year 2018 with an increment of more than 125% in the collection of the movie within the weekend. Earlier this film, only grossed ₹3.25 crore of Rs 25 crore during the opening weekend of the movie. Still, in the second time, the movie was able to collect a whooping ₹7. 34 crore in three days, three days being Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, which took everyone by surprise.
One of the most encouraging numbers to emerge from the period was the bookings. The sorts of sales it recorded in the past 24 hours are sales of over 90,000 tickets sold on BookMyShow, which shocked even the shrewdest of trade professionals. The interest level is well explained when one seeks to understand that Tumbbad Returns Cult Classic is now on the list of some of the biggest hit movies produced in India. Presently it stands third in Wooden Spoons on a national level behind Vijay’s The Greatest of All Time and Tovino Thomas’ ARM and Tollywood’s recent hit Mathu Vadalara stands at the fourth position.
Why did Tumbbad bring in new brand fans all of a sudden?
It is as follows, therefore, these are the several reasons why Tumbbad Returns Cult Classic re-release is attracting so many people to the theaters. The most important of them all is that as of now, Tumbbad is not on any of the OTT platforms out there. Earlier, the film could be viewed on Amazon Prime, but as the agreements that allowed streaming the picture expired, it was taken out. This has made fans watch this film only in theaters should they want to watch it again or for the first instance.
The audiences that could not watch Tumbbad during its theatrical release or its participation in OTT platforms are thronging theatres at the moment. The exclusivity of this re-release is one of the factors that made a lot of difference to its success. Also, recently the film announced its release after a certain amount of time and this has also created the speculation of the sequel. And with confirmation of a second part being in the pipeline, anticipation for Tumbbad is as high as it can get.
One of the primary reasons is the simple fact that the film as an artistic product is incredibly bright. Tumbbad was made after almost nine years of its conception and every frame was designed by its makers with much care. Thankfully the result is a beautiful movie and one that people lucky enough to have seen it will experience the horrors all over again from beginning to end. It is a movie that gives the audience suspense, horror, and deep thinking kind of movie that fits well in theaters.
The Big-Screen Experience:
Tumbbad is one of the movies that need to be watched on the big screen to get the feel of it. What makes it work well for horror then are things such as the lighting, the visualization, and the sound which are best felt in the theaters. For this reason, audiences are going to the theaters to watch Tumbbad Returns Cult Classic in theaters, with all the proper bells and whistles. This may be the first time that people attend the show in a theatre, and for others, it will be the revisit to the show again.
In other cities such as Hyderabad, the demand has remained high such that several multiplexes have sold out the tickets. This is especially so because the movie was at first thought to be targeting a select group of consumers. However, the re-release of Tumbbad has catered to a different class of fantasy horrors mixed with mythology history, and historical fantasy.
What it means for Indian Cinema The conclusion that can be derived from the success of PK’s exaggerated persona is that the cinemas of developing countries such as India have extraordinary potential and have what it takes to achieve success globally.
It will be quite important in measuring the overall performance of Indian cinema especially in capturing the story of Tumbbad’s re-release. That way it shows that people are hungry for good, genre-breaking movies even if the movie doesn’t cash box office receipts at its first theatrical run. This also proves the fact that one can reintroduce movies that have a loyal fan following especially those that have been removed from OTT platforms and again achieve huge successes in the Box Office revenues.
This could be an indication that other movies that are followed by cult audiences may find renewed life in the re-screening of their movies. Moreover, it also proves that the people of India are much more interested in horror and fantasy movies nowadays than before. As the audiences start accepting different types of movies then the filmmakers might feel free to try out more unique ideas.
Word of mouth Customer: A study on its effects
The second reason for Tumbbad’s re-release success is word of mouth reaching people of all ages. The movie has always received a lot of appreciation from the audience who have watched the film, most of them have reviewed it as a ‘’Must Watch’’, especially for horror lovers. And as more and more audiences return to the theatres and watch the film again and again, they are recommending the film to new audiences who haven’t seen the film.
More evidently, social networks, forums, blogs, and any other platforms allow people to share their excitement according to the films today. It is the same with Tumbbad and its audience as well as the critics who could not ignore its elaborate plot, great visuals, and the film’s ability to create an atmosphere of horror.
