Gone Horribly Right | |
| Tumbbad / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: Vinayak is wonderstruck upon listening to his son's idea of creating more dolls of dough to lure Hastar, long enough to steal his loincloth containing an endless supply of gold. However, when Vinayak and Pandurang execute the idea, they are horrified upon being surrounded by multiple clones of Hastar. Vinayak becomes the bait to help his son escape. In the end, Vinayak does steal Hastar's loincloth. However, Pandurang is horrified upon witnessing Vinayak being afflicted by the curse. He refuses to take the loincloth and burns Vinayak to death. | |

The Hedonist | |
| Tumbbad / int_2059a430 | comment |
The Hedonist: As an adult, Vinayak indulges himself in alcohol and women upon acquiring a sizeable fortune. He also encourages his son, Pandurang to indulge in such a lifestyle. Pandurang enjoys it, for a while... | |

Cosmic Horror Story | |
| Tumbbad / int_6a1c2a6 | comment |
Cosmic Horror Story: Though primarily a Folk Horror film, Tumbbad does include a monstrous god called Hastar who is dressed in gold and physically corrupts those he touches. | |

Folk Horror | |
| Tumbbad / int_7be20777 | comment |
Folk Horror: The film is presented as a story about a forgotten god who can be appeased by the proper rituals, but who bestows an horrific fate on anyone who lets their greed overcome their survival instinct. | |

Loving Parent, Cruel Parent | |
| Tumbbad / int_7c4e1599 | comment |
Loving Parent, Cruel Parent: The heinous protagonist Vinayak and his wife after they've had a son, Pandurang, post-time skip. Vinayak, who's defined by his lifelong greed and ambition to better his miserable background and who commits indirect murder to protect his secrets, viciously throws his son around whatever room they're in for offences and bruises to his ego, and he's ultimately a negative influence. Pandurang's mother, though not above striking him one time when he makes a very disrespectful misogynistic comment to her face, is a more nurturing presence who implicitly doesn't want him to grow up to be as bad as his father. | |

Riddle for the Ages | |
| Tumbbad / int_96a33f11 | comment |
Riddle for the Ages: If the gods took pains to erase Hastar's name from history, how did the residents of Tumbbad discover his existence in the first place? How did they discover the story of Hastar? | |

Fate Worse than Death | |
| Tumbbad / int_b1346878 | comment |
Fate Worse than Death: Being touched by a god grants you immortality and the knowledge of an endless supply of gold. All you have to do is eat and sleep. However, it is actually a curse where you cannot die of natural causes and endure starvation, no matter how much you eat. Hastar was cursed with this by his siblings. They condemned him to remain imprisoned in their mother's womb for eternity, enduring perpetual starvation. They also erased Hastar's name from history and forbade his worship. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| Tumbbad / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Vinayak is greed, hedonistic, and treacherous. He isn't a very good husband or a father. The only noble deed he ever does in the movie is sacrifice himself to help his son escape from Hastar. | |

| Tumbbad / int_c09dbbbb | comment |
Weaksauce Weakness: Hastar is vulnerable to flour. Although he can't be killed by flour, Hastar cannot cross closed boundaries drawn by flour. He can eat flour, but only if someone offers it to him. He can't touch flour of his volition | |
