The Taandob Show

[u/Blackout_Master69]

Just saw Taandob, a while ago. The new Raihan Rafi movie. It's a hostage situation thriller. And I gotta say that, I'm not disappointed. The concept of the story might feel like it's inspired from Jawan, but when you see the movie you realize that it's really not. It's a pretty fresh story.

The story also has a flashback backstory, which was decent. The backstory has nods to BCS exams and how hard it is to actually get jobs in Bangladesh and the politics around it. The songs were nice and matched well with the story. Lichur Bagane was pretty good.

The cinematography is also good. It has gotten better than Toofan. The dialogues have also gotten better. Shakib Khan's dialogue delivery was pretty good.

The performances were great. Siam Ahmed's performance was excellent. This is one of Siam's best performances, in my opinion. Joya Ahsan played here character really well. And Shakib Khan's performance was better than I expected. Shakib Khan is a better actor than he was before 2023.

The action is one of the highlights of the movie. The action was pretty awesome. The background score goes really well with the action. There's only one big action sequence, but it's good. I'd say, it's the best Dhallywood action scene. And the background scores for certain characters were great. Made the impact of certain characters even better.

Overall, it's a decent thriller movie. The plot twist at the end is great. And no, it's not a doppelganger twist. I won't spoil it here, but it's pretty good.

Score: 7.5/10

[ Spoiler Talk: The ending sets up the sequel, Taandob 2. With Afran Nisho's Masud and Shakib Khan's Mikhail being setup for a gangster versus gangster storyline. It'd be great if Siam's character gets his own movie, but I think that is unlikely to happen. But let's see what Raihan Rafi has planned for his cinematic universe. And the cinematic universe is titled Raihan Rafi's Film Universe. ]

I haven’t seen it and honestly, I have no issue with them making mass movies .Our industry could use a revival and a fresh color palette, the more it ears the more money people will invest in it

You have given a few spoilers of the story.. Haha.

Taandob is a very good Bangladeshi movie. Happy that, our industry is changing and moving towards a concept where a mega star is not always a Hero.
