Directed by Rahi Anil Barve and produced by the actor under his banner Sohum Shah Films, the atmospheric horror drama received critical acclaim when it was released in theatres on October 12, 2018. It was re-released in theatres on Friday on popular demands from fans and is enjoying a dream run, despite facing competition from new releases and the box office juggernaut Stree 2.

It minted ₹13.44 crore in its opening week. On Friday, which was National Cinema Day, it collected ₹3.04 crore, followed by ₹3.04 on Saturday. Now, in nine days, the cumulative collections stand at ₹18.98 crore. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, there is a good chance of the film minting ₹30 crore plus, making it a record for re-release movies. Yudhra, which is a new release and hit the screens on September 20, collected ₹1.48 core on its second day, much-lesser than Tumbbad.
