Tumbbad movie review: Beauty and horror of imagination that stalks you gently

Deccan Chronicle  

Director: Rahi Anil Barve, Anand Gandhi Cast: Sohum Shah, Anita Date, Jyoti Malshe, Deepak Damle, Dhundiraj Prabhakar Jogalekar, Mohammad Samad Imagination is a fascinating thing. But tragedy strikes and the film takes a 14-year leap to Pune where Vinayak Rao, now a married man, is still dreaming of returning to Tumbbad to look for the hidden khazana. Tumbbad was first directed by Anand Gandhi, and then by Rahi Anil Barve, and the journey, since shooting began to the film’s arrival in theatres, has been six long years. The film’s plotting, complete with devious twists, is very good and is in step with its makers’ grand vision to elevate the fantasy-horror genre from its usual B-grade stature to A. Tumbbad has excellent performances, sumptuous visuals, delightful attention to detail, and adds lovely accessories to scenes — like Rao’s twin daughters — that create a world that feels lived in.
