Mahatma Gandhi had said that there are enough resources on
earth for man's need, not for his greed. This is the core of Tumbbad, the
latest offering from producers Anand L. Rai and Soham Shah. The temptation to
get more often makes a human being a devil. Tumbbad takes you on such
mysterious, thrilling and scary journey in gestures.
The film begins in 1918 in Tumbbad, a village in Maharashtra.
A widow (Jyoti Malashe) is engaged in the service of an old man in a
dilapidated mansion of this village, which is drenched by torrential rains.
According to the prevailing story in the village, it is the temple of Hastar,
the greedy son carrying the gold of the dilapidated Haveli Devi, in which the
treasure is hidden. The widow, who lives in her broken hut in the wilderness
with two young children, not only serves the old man in this desire to sleep,
but also arranges for his monster wife to be fed in chains with life on her
palm. Does.
Despite this, his hand seems to be nothing but a gold coin,
on the contrary his younger son also has to lose. Therefore, she leaves the
village of Tumbbad forever with her elder son Vinayak and comes to Pune and
promises him that he will never return to Tumbbad. Vinayak makes a promise to
his mother, but does not forget the treasures of his forefathers and grows up
and returns to Tumbbad only in search of her. Now, to see the extent to which
he reaches the greed to collect these gold coins, the audience shrieks.
The story, which lasts for three generations, is a mixture of
genres such as historical, period, fantasy, horror, which is based on the
Marathi novel Tumbbadche Khot by Sripad Narayan Pendse. Director Rahi Anil
Barve has entered his first film with a new and comprehensive approach. He has
got the full support of creative director Anand Gandhi in empowering the film.
Tumbbad breaks the worn-out body of Hindustani horror films and then drives
them away with tantra-mantra, chandeliers.
Great visual effects and Pankaj Kumar's cinematography create
an atmosphere of panic right from the beginning. Many scenes make the eyes
wrench in fear. In the second half, some scenes are repetitive, which sometimes
reduces the interest, but climaxes the story. Soham Shah, who received praise for
his natural acting in the film 'Simran', has climbed up a notch in the role of
Vinayak. Jyoti Malashe in his mother's role and child artist Mohammad Samad in
his son's role have also done a great job. The music of Ajay-Atul and Jesper
Keid is in line with the film.
