In Tumbbad, a man named Hastar embarks on a dark and dangerous journey to find a hidden treasure in the cursed village of Tumbbad. The treasure is guarded by ancient and terrifying gods, and as Hastar’s greed grows, he becomes entangled in the deadly secrets of the village.
Fan theories suggest that the treasure might not just be gold, but a powerful force that corrupts anyone who tries to possess it. Some believe that Hastar’s obsession with it mirrors the way greed can consume a person’s soul, turning them into something monstrous.
What if Hastar never found the treasure? Could he have led a peaceful life, avoiding the horrors that followed?
A key moment in the film is when Hastar first encounters the horrifying creature guarding the treasure. It’s a chilling reminder that the price of greed is often more than we can pay.
Imagine an alternate ending where Hastar chooses to leave the treasure behind and finds redemption, or perhaps a prequel exploring the origin of the curse that haunts Tumbbad. The village’s dark history could hold even more terrifying secrets waiting to be uncovered.
