‘Tumbbad’ Rises Again: Returning to Theaters After 6 Years
Fans of Indian cinema, especially those with a taste for the eerie and supernatural, have a reason to celebrate this September. Tumbbad, the critically acclaimed horror-fantasy film that was originally released in 2018, is making a comeback to theaters on September 13th. This re-release comes in response to growing public demand and the film’s rising popularity, six years after it first hit the screens.
Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, Tumbbad is a folk horror film that delves into a tale of greed, fear, and the supernatural, set in the early 20th century India. The movie follows the journey of its protagonist, portrayed by Sohum Shah, as he embarks on a dangerous quest for hidden treasure in the eerie village of Tumbbad, Maharashtra. Along the way, he uncovers ancient curses and unspeakable horrors, all rooted in the village’s dark mythology.

Director also requested viewers to share this news as much as they can so that public can feel the thrill in their nearby cinema halls.
Upon its initial release in 2018, Tumbbad did not receive the widespread attention and recognition it truly deserved. Despite its unique storytelling, haunting visuals, and deeply atmospheric horror, the film was somewhat overlooked by the mainstream audience. However, as time passed, Tumbbad began to develop a dedicated cult following. Word-of-mouth, along with the growing appreciation for its craftsmanship and innovative narrative, led to a resurgence of interest in the film.
The renewed interest has been so significant that fans and cinephiles have been clamoring for another chance to experience Tumbbad on the big screen. Responding to this demand, the film is now set to re-release, allowing a new generation of viewers—and those who missed it the first time around—the opportunity to witness this cinematic gem.

Rai, Mukesh Shah, and Amita Shah, and co-directed by Adesh Prasad, with creative direction by Anand Gandhi, Tumbbad stands as a testament to the power of storytelling and the rich tapestry of Indian folklore. Its chilling exploration of human nature, combined with the atmospheric dread that permeates every frame, ensures that Tumbbad remains a film that stays with you long after the credits roll.
So, on September 13th, prepare to return to the haunted village of Tumbbad. Whether you’re revisiting the horror or experiencing it for the first time, this is a film that promises to captivate and terrify in equal measure.
