Plot (click to expand)

Set in the early 20th century India, on the outskirts of a decrepit village called Tumbbad (in Maharashtra) lives Vinayak, the stubborn, illegitimate son of the village lord, obsessed with a mythical and well-guarded ancestral treasure. He suspects the secret lies with his great-grandmother – cursed deformed and sleeping for centuries. Confronting her finally puts him face to face with the sinister and monstrous guardian of the treasure – an evil fallen god, Hastar (who was supposed to be forgotten because of insatiable greed, and whose sole temple brought the curse of incessant rain to Tumbbad). What starts with a few gold coins, quickly spirals into a reckless, perpetual yearning, spanning decades. Vinayak’s greed keeps escalating till he unearths the biggest secret of all, something more valuable than the treasure itself!
