Sharing the poster on Instagram, Shah wrote: “Samay ka pahiya gol hai… jo beet gaya woh humesha phir laut ke aata hai…Hum bhi aa rahe hain… ek baar phir. Ek naye trailer aur kuch naye dhamako ke saath :) It's Time For #Tumbbad, Experience in cinemas again on 13th September, 2024!

The Tumbbad re-release promises to reignite the eerie and immersive experience that made it a standout in Indian cinema. Directed by Rahi Anil Barve and co-directed by Adesh Prasad, Tumbbad takes audiences to the village of Tumbbad in Maharashtra, where Sohum Shah’s character, Vinayak Rao, embarks on a perilous quest for hidden treasure. What begins as a seemingly straightforward search soon unravels into a nightmarish journey through folklore and human greed.
Produced by Sohum Shah, Aanand L. Rai, Mukesh Shah, and Amita Shah, the film's haunting atmosphere was amplified by Pankaj Kumar’s cinematography, Sanyukta Kaza’s editing, and an evocative score by Jesper Kyd, alongside a song by Ajay–Atul.
Premiering in the critics' week section at the 75th Venice International Film Festival, Tumbbad made history as the first Indian film showcased there. It continued to captivate audiences at prestigious festivals like the Fantastic Fest, Sitges Film Festival, and the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, among others.
Since its release on October 12, 2018, Tumbbad has been lauded for its innovative storytelling, meticulous production design, and atmospheric cinematography. The film garnered eight nominations at the 64th Filmfare Awards, winning Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Sound Design.
With its return to cinemas, Tumbbad offers a fresh chance for both longtime fans and new viewers to experience this cinematic masterpiece. Mark your calendars for September 13, 2024, and prepare for a spine-chilling revisit to the haunting world of Tumbbad.
