Presented by Aanand L Rai and Eros International, Sohum Shah’s ‘Tumbbad’ becomes the first Indian Film ever to open at the prestigious Venice International Film Critic’s week, sweeping in major accolades from critics. Venice Critics’ Week is an independent section rolling out at the same time as the Venice Film Festival which is celebrating its landmark 75th year.

Despite being based on the rooted Indian folktale, ‘Tumbbad’ has managed to captivate the international audience with the intriguing tale and stunning visuals. The craft, scale, and technique used in the making of the critically acclaimed film have presented the world with India’s moment to shine. After content driven commercial films like ‘Newton’ and ‘Dangal’ making India proud worldwide, ‘Tumbbad’ seems to take the same route with taking the nation’s glory globally.
