Actor-producer Sohum Shah’s Tumbbad received tons of appreciation from all quarters when it released last year, with the unique distinction of having wowed the diverse critics community as much as the audience – a feat only a few films are able to achieve.
So it’s not at all surprising that this content-driven and technically rich film clinched as many as three awards at India’s first ever the Critics’ Choice Film Awards.
The visually stunning fantasy horror film, scored as many as 6 nominations at the prestigious Critics’ Choice Film Awards and walked away with 3 of those by winning the Best Production Design by Nitin Zihani Choudhary and Rakesh Yadav, Best Cinematography by Pankaj Kumar and Best Background Score by Jesper Kyd Jakobson adding to its already full mantle of trophies.
In a year that saw several content and star driven successes, Tumbbad, a film that was 6 years in the making, successfully ran for over 50 days at theatres across the country and continues to garner word of mouth appreciation from OTT streaming audiences worldwide – a testament to the strength of storytelling and good old hard work.
