Zapatlela is a Marathi horror comedy movie, which was released on 14 April 1993. It was directed by Mahesh Kothare. It was inspired by the 1988 Hollywood movie Child's Play. It's followed by the sequel Zapatlela 2, released 20 years later (in 2013). The film was remade in Telugu in the year 2001, with the title Ammo Bomma, with Rajendra Prasad playing the lead role.

The film has the renowned artist ventriloquist Ramdas Padhye along with his famous evil puppet Tatya Vinchu. The film stars Laxmikant Berde as Laxmikant Bolke, with Mahesh Kothare as CID Inspector Mahesh Jadhav and Dilip Prabhavalkar as Tatya Vinchu. This film was also dubbed into Hindi as Khilona Bana Khalnayak.

The film begins with a car approaching at night. Tatya Vinchu (Dilip Prabhavalkar), a famous gangster and his henchman Kubdya Khavis enter the cave of Baba Chamatkar (Raghvendra Kadkol) in search for mrutunjay mantra, a voodoo spell which can transfer the soul of the chanter to any living or nonliving object. Tatya threatens Baba Chamatkar for his mantra. Baba, out of fear, gives it to him. CID Inspector Mahesh Jadhav (Mahesh Kothare), who is trying to arrest Tatya, raids his warehouse. Mahesh finds Tatya, and gives chase until Tatya hides in a post office. There, they fight and Tatya gets hit by a fatal gunshot. He uses the mantra to transfer his soul into the body of a ventriloquist's doll lying nearby. Meanwhile, Kubdya Khavis is captured and taken into custody. The police believe that Tatya is dead.

Gauri (Kishori Ambiye) returns from USA to India for pursuing PHD in Criminal Psychology. In the meantime Gauri's father gets transferred to Shrirangpur. She meets her brother Lakshya. Lakshya has a talent of ventriloquism, and Gauri gives him a doll as a gift she got from USA, which happens to be the doll in which Tatya Vinchu's soul is trapped.

Tatya Vinchu has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
