‘Mayasabha’ movie review: Javed Jaaferi assuredly leads Rahi Anil Barve’s sentimental mood piece

Just as Tumbbad soaked with rain Mayasabha brims with smoke. If Tumbbad accumulated an age-old myth Mayasabha exorcises an almost dystopian reality of a dilapidated single screen theatre. It carriers the atmosphere of dread in its meticulously imagined morbid interiors of the space. Like the cursed great grandmother turning into a tree stretches the existential epicness of time in Tumbbad the spoiled defunct walls of the theatre in Mayasabha deify its ancient permanence. The grandiosity of its desolation make it eerily illusive. The shadow of the theatre looms over the film like the grey clouds in Tumbbad thickly spreading its claustrophobic tenacity into the minimilastic whole.
