Set in the 1920s, “Tumbbad” tells the haunting tale of a family grappling with the curse and allure of Hastar, a malevolent deity from a dark myth. When they build a temple to worship Hastar, they encounter a perilous mix of greed and temptation. Hastar, the first-born of the Goddess of Prosperity, was given a choice between all the gold or all the food in the universe; his greed led him to hoard both, sparking conflict among the gods and a curse that plagues those who seek his treasures. The film delves into the destructive nature of human greed as the family faces dire consequences for their actions.
