What is Tumbbad 3?

 

Tumbbad — cult classic Indian horror film poster

 

Alia Bhatt is officially confirmed to lead Tumbbad 3, the finale of one of India's most celebrated horror-fantasy trilogies. In an exclusive scoop from Bollywood Hungama on May 16, 2026, it was revealed that Bhatt will not only feature in an extended cameo in Tumbbad 2 but will carry her character forward into Tumbbad 3 alongside the franchise's anchor, Sohum Shah.

 

The original Tumbbad (2018), directed by Rahi Anil Barve and produced by Sohum Shah and Aanand L. Rai, became a cult classic — lauded for its folk-horror storytelling, breathtaking cinematography by Pankaj Kumar, and a haunting score by Jesper Kyd. It premiered at the Venice International Film Festival and won three Filmfare Awards, including Best Cinematography. Its 2024 re-release was a phenomenon, collecting over ₹38 crore and becoming the second-highest grossing re-released Indian film.

 

Now, with Alia Bhatt — one of the most bankable and critically acclaimed actors of her generation — stepping into this mythic universe, the excitement around Tumbbad 3 has reached a fever pitch. Here's everything you need to know.

 

 

Where to Watch the Original Tumbbad

 

If you haven't watched the original Tumbbad yet (or want to re-watch it before the sequels drop), it is available on Disney+ Hotstar and Amazon Prime Video in India. Watching or rewatching the original is the perfect way to prepare for what's coming — its richly layered mythology rewards repeat viewing.
