Taandob

While the pacing dips slightly in the first half, the tension rebuilds relentlessly in the second. Expect expertly choreographed hard-hitting fights, a jaw-dropping one-take action sequence, and multiple shocks in the final 20 minutes.

The film balances mainstream entertainment with serious themes-political drama, ghoulish secrets, and public accountability. Its Eid-ul-Adha release during a time of cautious creative freedom marks a milestone in Bangladeshi cinema.

Some critics note a slow setup and a few storytelling gaps in the early scenes, but nearly everyone agrees the film redeems itself with a fierce, unpredictable second half.

Fu**ing insane. Raihan Rafi changing Bangla film industry.

First half was copy of Money Heist. But Rafi portrait it for different story. The Sadhin/Mikhail team shown the truth to the country. But that story took more time than as usual. But the main plot is in second half. Mikhail played the main role of Shadin. The Great Mikhail is the most wanted person in Bangladesh. Last 15 minutes makes me shocked. A single murder case took this story here. But this story not ending here. Another biggest plot was waiting for viewers. And no one ever imagined. That innocent Shadhin turn into villain. But Surogo part is more shocked me. Surogo X Tandoob. Raihan Rafi will cook bangla cinema in next film of this series.

Watched "Taandob" in the theatre today and this is the best Bangladeshi commercial movie ever made. Thanks to Shakib Khan for understanding what was required for him to do as the talisman of the movie industry and who can argue now about him being the megastar. 👑

Raihan Rafi a director we all aspired for. What visionary! Who thought of a cinematic universe in a small industry like ours but he did and executed too. Keep getting better... 🔥

Last but not the least, Siam Ahmed even yesterday reviewing "Jongli" I was talking about a great improvement in the screen presence and dialogue delivery but I did not see this coming what you did in "Taandob". Pure madness!! Absolute psychotically phenomenal performance and the spotlight of "Taandob". Can't wait to have your solo one from this universe.

I have never seen a Bangladeshi movie like this before! From start to finish-drama, romance, revenge, violence, twists-everything is presented flawlessly. From sound design to storytelling, every aspect is top-notch.

I have never seen a Shakib Khan movie like this before. Honestly, I'm not usually a big fan of his films, but this one completely changed my perception. He has taken his acting to the next level. I've watched all of Raihan Rafi's other movies, but none of them impressed me this much. This movie not only fulfilled my expectations but went far beyond them.

I couldn't find a single flaw to criticize. The story, acting, and overall execution make this a film you simply shouldn't miss in the cinema hall. It's also perfectly suitable to watch with family.

Undoubtedly, Tandob, directed by Raihan Rafi and starring Shakib Khan, is this Eid's most discussed and popular film in Bangladesh. The story, screenplay, acting, and videography are all extraordinary, making the movie capable of holding the audience's attention from beginning to end.

The movie's plot is quite engrossing, and several intriguing twists have elevated the cinema to a new level. In particular, the comedy scenes and dialogues bring the movie to life. The thrill and drama amidst the humor keep the audience engaged throughout.

Acting: Shakib Khan is truly unique for such a challenging role. It's difficult to find any flaws in his performance from start to finish. In every frame, he was heroic and portrayed the character's depth exceptionally well.

Jaya Ahsan was superb in her role. "She just nailed it." -This phrase truly defines her performance.

Although many did not initially receive Sabila Nur well before the movie's release, critics praised her after the song from the Lichur Bagane was released. Her acting in the film showed maturity and confidence.

Dr. Ejaz Sir, Shahiduzzaman Selim, Afzal Hossain, and other experienced actors enriched the movie with their skillful acting. And Siam Ahmed, who played Arman Mansoor, delivered an absolutely outstanding performance-a "fan-favorite." Technical Aspects: The cinematography and editing were highly professional and visually stunning. The cinematic beauty was noticeable in every scene. The sound design and background score were also appropriate and created an excellent atmosphere.

Songs: Compared to other Dhallywood films, very little screen time was spent on songs in this movie. Although the two songs released before the film's premiere received mixed reactions from the audience, they fit well with the film's narrative. However, the romantic song that has yet to be released is personally my favorite.

All in all, this film proves that Dhallywood is now ready to challenge Bollywood and other popular industries.

Tandob 2 has sparked audience curiosity with an excellent cliffhanger at the end. The presence of Afran Nisho hints at the plot for the future Tandob 2. However, it seems unlikely that psychopathic characters like Nisho (aka Surongo Masud) or Siam (aka Arman Mansoor) combined will be able to give Mikhail Shakib Khan a tough fight in Tandob 2. Nevertheless, it is hoped that Tandob 2 will surpass its predecessor with a new story, excitement, and blend of acting. Raihan Rafi can be trusted to that extent.

If you want to watch a modern, professional, and distinct Bengali cinema, Tandob should not be missed. It is undoubtedly a movie worth watching in the theater.

Ultimately, Tandob is not just a movie; it is a very bold and groundbreaking step for Dhallywood towards creating a movie universe.
