Gandhi said that the earth can satisfy man's needs, but not man's desires. The story revolves around desire.
There is a legend in India that the Goddess of Prosperity is in charge of infinite gold and food, the earth is her womb, and she has given birth to 160 million children who are gods. But what she loved most was her first child, Hastur. However, Hastur wanted all the gold and food of the goddess. When he got the gold from the goddess and tried to take the food, he was attacked by other gods and turned into pieces. Just as he was nearly destroyed, the goddess used her womb to save Hastur, but Hastur had to pay a price, and that price was being forgotten.
Because Hastur has obtained gold, he has innumerable gold coins on him. However, because all the other gods refused to give Hastur food, Hastur had no access to the food and suffered from endless hunger.
However, the humans from Tabad discovered Hastur's secret, built a mansion above the goddess' womb, and kept stealing gold coins from Hastur. As a result, it rained endlessly in Tabad.
But as time went on, the number of humans in Tabad became less and less, and fewer and fewer people knew Hastur's secrets, and only Sarka and Sarka's mother, the old woman, remained. The old woman is a person who has been bitten by Hastur. Like Hastur, although she enjoys infinite life, she has to endure the pain of endless hunger. But the old woman was guided by a magic spell. As long as she heard "Sleep, Hastur will come to you if you don't sleep", she fell into a deep sleep immediately.
Sarkar had a mistress with whom he had two sons, Rao and Sadaf. On the day Sarkar died, his youngest son Sadaf fell from a tree to the ground and died. Rao wanted to know the secret of the gold coins, but his mother did not agree, and she left Thabad with Rao.
But Rao was obsessed with the gold coin thing, and finally returned to Tabad after fifteen years. Return to Rao in Tabad and find the old woman in the shabby house, his grandmother. At this time, the old woman had a tree growing on her body, and her heart was beating on the branches of the tree. Rao woke up grandma, and grandma told Rao how to get gold coins. It turned out that the womb of the goddess was under the mansion. After entering the womb, the terrifying Hastur had to be isolated with flour, and then the noodle man was thrown out to tempt Hastur. Gold coins in Star's pocket. But Hastur eats quickly, and he must pick up the gold coins that Hastur dropped on the ground before Hastur finishes eating the noodles, otherwise his life will be in danger. Rao, who got the secret, with grandma's permission, a fire burned grandma to ashes.
Knowing the secret, Rao kept stealing gold coins from Hastur, thus making a fortune and living a well-off life. Not only that, but Rao also built a big house, married a wife, had three children, and found a beautiful mistress. Life is colorful, but greed is endless. Although his life became rich, Rao did not stop being greedy and still regularly went to Hastur to steal gold coins.
Fourteen years have passed, and Rao's body is getting worse day by day, and his body is not as good as before. Rao's son grew up and Rao trained him every day to steal gold coins. As his son's skills became more and more pure, Rao decided to take his son to the womb of the goddess to see it. Because it was training, Rao told his son that he must not bring a face person, otherwise Hastur would be attracted. The son agreed to Rao's request. But after reaching the womb, the son took out a face man from his bosom and led out Hastur. Although his son picked up a lot of gold coins, Rao was still furious.
Back home, Rao learns that the independent Indian government wants to take back Tabad. At this moment, his son put forward an opinion: "Why don't we come and do it once and for all and be more noodle eaters, I have been feeding Hastur noodle eaters, you go to unpack." Rao thought it was a good idea, so he and his son set off together.
But when the two of them got to the womb and took out many faces, many Hasturs appeared, which Rao did not expect. It turned out that Hastur turned out to be a greedy human being. If Rao and his son could not escape, they would also become Hastur in the womb. At the end of the film, Rao lures Hastur away and saves his son. But because he was bitten by Hastur, he turned into his grandmother's appearance.
The film revolves around greed, where Hastur gets his mother's infinite gold coins, but also wants infinite food. Rao stole gold coins that would last a lifetime, yet trained his son to keep stealing. Son got a way to steal gold coins, but wanted to do it once and for all. Greed is always endless.
I have always had a prejudice against Indian movies, and I think there is nothing else but singing and dancing. The specific change is from this year's "Wrestling, Dad". I really think it is an incredibly good movie. Actor Aamir Khan is also amazing. But there is still some resistance to watching other movies. I casually clicked on "The Devil of Tabad", and I just felt that it was like a stroke of genius. Whether it is the atmosphere, the plot control, or the film effect production, they are all first-class movies.
