About Tumbbad:
Tumbbad released in 2018 and slowly transformed from a quiet release into a full-blown cult classic. Inspired by Indian folklore and driven by the theme of greed, it terrified audiences without loud jump scares. Instead, it relied on mood, mythology, and pure dread. And it worked.
Now, with Tumbbad 2, expectations are sky-high. A bigger canvas, deeper characters, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui entering this cursed world? We’re excited.
