Taish

A good opportunity missed. Great casting, unique storyline but lost the opportunity. After halftime story got lost. Didn't get what the writer was wanted to convey.

When I saw the trailer I didn't want to watch this film but when I actually saw the film it was really good... The story is good with outstanding direction by Bejoy Nambiar after Wazir. The screenplay is slow which makes some parts boring. Good performances though especially Harshvardhan Rane. Some songs didn't belong and the film could have been good without them. Action scenes were very good and well executed. The voice modulation was bad though and since a lot of the scenes were in Punjabi some people might not understand it.Lastly, a good choice to release it as both a film and a web series. Definitely a must watch.

Taish is an intriguing new experiment in town. ZEE5 is launching writer-director Bejoy Nambiar's Taish in two versions: a six-part mini-series with episodes of around 30 minutes each and a two-and-a-half-hour feature film. The total duration of the series is 34 minutes more than the film. This could have translated either into greater substance or more fluff in the series, or simply, interesting but differing takes on the same storyline, depending on the choices made in the writing and editing process. The story has two intertwined sects and cross eachother to avenge the revenge. Underwhelming at times, seems dark but is lucid and the cast does brilliant performance from Pulkit Samrat to HarshVardhan Rane, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Jim Sarbh, Kirti Kharbanda.

The music and songs are jewels. Each song is unique and has a rustic feel. Sona Mohapatra has also done a good job.

Nambiar does what he does best. Watch for a intesly beautiful film.

STORY- Beautifully Scripted BGM- Keeps you intact throughout...some catchy and some keeps your vain up ACTING- Full marks for all the Characters, specially Harshvardan Rane and Jim Sarbh SONG- All are catchy and the emotional songs tends to keep a touch of pain in you afterwards... Overall, i would rate this movie as a good and unique movie that has somewhere a good vibe of hollywood touch and keeps you intact till the end thanks to the brilliant acting from the characters...

Taish is a slick intense drama thriller which has revenge written all over it. The title suggests a fit of rage and atleast two of the principal characters here are driven by it. This is the first time a feature film has also been introduced as a mini series consisting of six episodes. I watched the mini series as it seemed like a more detailed version.

The series revolves around two families in London. While one is engaged in a grand wedding ceremony the other is grappling with an ongoing feud between two sulking brothers. A shocking disclosure about a haunting past leads to an uncontrollable situation involving both the families. What follows is a series of chaotic events. The story keeps moving back and forth in time rapidly only to slow down during the middle portions but gathers steam again towards the later part.

The three main characters of Harshvardhan Rane, Jim Sarbh & Pulkit Samrat get equal opportunity to shine and they all deliver excellent performances. Rane particularly steals the show with an intense brooding performance. Sarbh is not far behind and it was good to see Samrat in an intense action avatar. Amongst the female characters Kriti Kharbanda & Sanjeeda Sheikh stand out. Kriti looks beautiful and does well in a meaty part. Sheikh lets her eyes do all the talking. Rest of the supporting actors are good. The whole cast looks great on screen.

The series has been stylishly shot with a terrific background score. The soundtrack is lovely with songs intelligently placed along with the story. Bejoy Nambiar doesnt disappoint both as a writer and director. He shows his class as a story teller with a technical finesse. This fast paced revenge saga has a lot of factors going for it and should be on your watch list this weekend. Streaming now on Zee5.
