What we saw in Tumbbad was Hastar, terrifying and drenched in bloodshed, with its red hue striking fear into the hearts of viewers.

However, this was not how it began. The team of Tumbbad built Hastar with extreme difficulty and through several tests. Even after shooting and editing the entire sequence, they decided to discard it because it did not meet the high standards they had envisioned. They shot it again but were still not satisfied, so they continued to refine it.

Tumbbad went on to become a critical triumph, earning eight nominations at the 64th Filmfare Awards and winning three for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Sound Design. It was also the first Indian film to premiere in the Critics’ Week section of the 75th Venice International Film Festival.

Tumbbad is directed by Rahi Anil Barve, with Anand Gandhi as the creative director and Adesh Prasad as the co-director. Written by Mitesh Shah, Prasad, Barve, and Gandhi, the film was produced by Sohum Shah, Aanand L. Rai, Mukesh Shah, and Amita Shah. Alongside Sohum Shah, the film also stars Jyoti Malshe and Anita Date-Kelkar.

The film is not available on any OTT platforms.
