Released in 2018, Tumbbad evolved from a sleeper hit into a globally celebrated cult phenomenon. Its 2024 re-release further strengthened its legacy, drawing new audiences into its haunting world of greed, mythology, and psychological horror. Now, with the sequel set to go on floors early this year, the makers are looking to deepen and expand the dark universe that redefined Indian fantasy-horror.
