Movie Reception

Due to its clash with Munna Michael, the film was expected to experience a stiff competition at the box office. However, after the low earning on its first day, it witnessed an excellent growth over the next two days. The positive word of mouth helped the film to earn well on the weekdays and it recovered its budget cost in just five days.

LUMB ended its first week run with a collection around Rs. 10 crores. In the second week, the film witnessed a low drop and earned around Rs. 6 crores. However, it could not perform well in the third week and ended its theatrical run at Rs. 19 crores in the domestic market. The film was super hit at the box office.
