Tumbbad (तुम्बाड)

The Goddess of Prosperity ...

is the symbol of unlimited gold and food

And this earth is her womb

When the universe was created...

she gave birth to 160 million Gods

But the Goddess loved her first child above all ...

Hastar

But today, you won't find his name in any ancient scriptures

Why, father?

Because he wanted all of the Goddess' gold and food

He managed getting the gold ...

but just as he went for the food ...

all the other Gods attacked him

With every blow, Hastar shattered into fragments

But before he could dissolve into stardust,

The Goddess saved him

But on one condition

That he will never be worshiped and be forgotten for ever

For aeons, Hastar slept in his mother's womb

But one day, our ancestors invoked him

And built a shrine in his name

They say, since that day, all the Gods' wrath ...

has been raining on Tumbbad

Why did we even wake him up?

Because Hastar's curse is a boon for us

What do you mean?

You'll know ...

when you go inside

Inside where?

In the Goddess' womb

Please, hurry up

It's about to get dark

It'll take the time it takes

I am terrified of not feeding that old hag on time

What if she wakes up?

Don't say such things at this dark hour

She won't wake up

If you want to leave in time, then come early

You'd promised me that gold coin, after this new moon

The coin is not a joke! One has to earn it

-Where's mother? -Wait here

Where is she?

Where else, must be at Sarkar's mansion

Who will feed the old woman?

Mother will, once she returns

-What if she's late? -Shut up!

What if the old woman wakes up?

She eats while she's asleep?

You put it in her mouth, bit by bit, she swallows

Does she ever wake up?

No

Have you ever fed her before?

No

What's this?

I cooked, so you go feed her

Go on. Else she'll wake up

Go, don't be afraid

I say, go on!

Sadashiv!

<Chanting>

Did he give you the gold coin?

It didn't come up

That bastard will never bring it up

You dare to swear at your father?

Tell him ...

We won't look after his old hag unless he gives us the coin

No one else in the village would dare to go close to her

The gold coin is not a joke

One has to earn it

Being his mistress for 12 years hasn't earned it?

Mother!

Let me go

I don't want it

I don't want the treasure

Let me go

Come in

Sleep, else Hastar will come for you

Mother?

Sarkar is dead

I know

After dinner, we'll start packing

We are leaving Tumbbad

-There is nothing left for us here. -Why?

Don't we inherit the mansion now? There's no one else

And starve to death in that ruin?

It isn't worth a penny

For the village, we are as good as outcastes

And the mansion's hidden treasure. Isn't that ours now?

Sarkar searched all his life but found nothing

Squandered all his ancestral wealth as well

What about the old woman?

Why should we care now. Let her rot

Shall we wake her up?

She's Sarkar's great grandmother

I'm sure she knows something about the hidden treasure

Go!

Go ahead

Wake her up and ask

We leave at dawn, tomorrow

And head to 'Pune'

Even mentioning the treasure brings ill fortune

So, I didn't

What is 'Pune'?

It's a very big city

Where carts move on their own, without horses or bulls

I don't believe anything you say, nowadays

Fine.

Sadashiv!

Mother!

Sadashiv, don't sleep.

I'll be back home by morning

What about the old woman's food?

-You'll have to feed her tonight. -What if she wakes up?

If she wakes up, say ...

"Sleep, 'Hastar' will come for you."

Who is 'Hastar'?

Hurry up. Let's go!

-Mother? -You go!

Go!

Sadashiv, I am here. Everything will be alright, son

Sister?

Do you still want to go to the doctor?

Or should I take us to the graveyard?

Take me to the mansion

Who is this little prince?

Come here, my child!

<Chanting>

Open the door, my child

I am so hungry... I need to eat something

Treasure!

Do you want it?

Treasure!

Come.

Come now.

Open it.

Put that light away, moron

Have you no brains? It's hurting me

Grandmother ...

Son ...

Grandmother ...

Sorry, my boy. Seeing light after a long time

Ah, butterfly ... another one ...

come here, my love

Where's the treasure?

-Grandmother? -Look how they treat your grandma

Locked my jaw with sharp nails

Please put some food in this tube

Is it in the mansion?

Is it in the mansion?

I am hungry

Feed me and I'll tell you everything

Or should I just eat you?

Sleep or else ...

What was it?

Sleep or else ...

'Hiran' will come.

Sleep or else ... Magar will come ...

Sleep or else ... Hachkar will come ...

'Sleep or else ... Haathi will come'

Sleep or else ...

'Sleep or else, Haathi will come ... Hiran ...'

Sleep or else ...

You forgot 'His' name, huh?

Mother!

I'll sing you a lullaby

Let me go!

Tonight I'll taste your flesh

Brat! Don't act smart

Grandmother, sleep or else ...

Go to sleep ...

Sleep or else 'Habbad' will come

HASTAR!

Grandmother, sleep or 'Hastar' will come for you!

Vinayak! Open the door

Mother ...

Mother ...

where is Sadashiv?

There's still time. Let's go back

We'll tie her up and get it out of her

We won't feed her till she tells us

I know how to handle her now.

-Let's go back, mother. -Shut up!

You little rascal ...

This is all you care for, right?

Keep it and shut your gob

It's just a single coin

Let's turn the boat around

We'll torture her till she tells us, okay?

Keep quiet!

You're just like that serpent, your father

I'll kill you, if you ever return to Tumbbad

Understood?

Say it. Say you'll never come back to Tumbbad!

Mother!

I'll throw it!

Do it!

-I'll do it! -Go ahead!

You don't have the balls to do it

You're a greedy bastard

I will kill you! Swear you'll never return to Tumbbad
