Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century India,
Tumbbad unfolds as a spellbinding folk‑horror fantasy, weaving myth with greed and human folly. The story follows Vinayak Rao (Sohum Shah), who returns to his native village of Tumbbad to unearth a treasure guarded by the demonic entity Hastar—an offspring of the goddess of plenty banished into obscurity. Through a ritual feeding of dough, Vinayak lures Hastar to steal gold coins from him, initiating a dangerous cycle fueled by avarice. As familial bonds fray and his son is drawn into the deadly pursuit, the film escalates into a cautionary tale about unchecked greed, masterfully rendered through mesmerizing visuals, moody cinematography, and an unsettling folklore-infused narrative.
