Over the last 8 years, Tumbbad has achieved a cult-classic status. Proof of its impact was recently seen when a local community’s fancy dress competition turned into a full-blown Tumbbad performance. In a viral video shared by lead actor-producer Sohum Shah on his Instagram stories, locals went all out, dressing up as iconic characters from the film, including Vinayak, the terrifying entity Hastar, and Poorti Ki Devi.
Along with the video, an overwhelmed Sohum wrote, “Nothing more humbling than seeing this kind of mass love. Thank you for loving Tumbbad the way you do.”
Watching people recreate the haunting atmosphere, complete with eerie red lighting, the traditional lantern, and the haunting vibe right on the streets, shows just how the film’s imagery has stayed with the audience. It is rare for a folklore fantasy to transcend cinema and inspire grassroots celebrations like this, proving that the world Sohum Shah and his team built continues to impress and thrill viewers.
Ever since the official announcement of the second film in the franchise Tumbbad 2, fans have been brimming with excitement and anticipation. Just the news of the sequel taking this universe forward has overjoyed fans across social media, with cinema lovers eagerly waiting to dive back into its world.
