Tumbbad premiered at the prestigious critics' week at Venice film fest earlier this year. It opens locally this Friday to vastly expand your choices in Indian theatres. Yup, worth taking that call.

Tumbbad
A: Horror fantasy
Dir: Rahi Anil Barve
Cast: Sohum Shah
Rating:
Part morbid-fantasy, mostly magic-realism — hardly a mainstream genre — this is the sort of "festival" film that employs movie-horror as a way to draw you in, first. Since there are no creaking doors, and much less info on what's in store — fewer dialogue, and hardly any reference points for the characters before us — it takes a while to get used to this imaginary world.
