This indie flick is something most cinephiles have absolutely loved. It has the speciality of being a Hindi film and also something really good, as this combination is a rare one these days.
The film perfectly utilizes the fascination-inducing capabilities of fantasy and mythology. A tale of how human greed ultimately leads to self-destruction, the story which is set in mid-20th century Maharashtra, coupled with good costumes and a well-worked production design, brings the perfect mood the film tries to give the audience. The scenes, frames, and sequences are directed without many flaws, which has given the film the right pacing to keep the viewers hooked.
Horror has the capacity to go much broader, rather than being stuck with ghosts and serial killers. And Tumbbad is a film that pushes horror in the direction of mythology and human emotions.
A must-watch for anyone looking for horror with a new face.
