I'm not exaggerating by stretch of the imagination when I say that Tumbbad is one of the best Hindi horror films ever made. I've watched it so many times over the years since it was released, and every time I'm always completely engrossed from beginning to end. The plot is just so interesting, and encompasses so many themes: the destructive and corrupting nature of human greed, the cyclical nature of familial sins (and how it's broken in the end), and class structure and inequality, especially considering the historical context. And the brilliant story is complemented by the extraordinary performance of Sohum Shah, whose mannerisms, tone and inflection, and minute facial expressions served to emphasise several of the films themes. The camerawork and cinematography are absolutely stunning, using a bleak colour palette and vast, natural locations to reinforce the tense and haunting atmosphere. I will say, the CGI in certain scenes wasn't the best, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't affect the film much at all. If you're in the market for a good horror film, especially folk horror, look no further than Tumbbad.
