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.

First of all, hats off to director Raihan Rafi for daring to attempt such a bold and politically charged narrative in Tandob. This isn't just another action film-this is Dhallywood's first proper political action thriller, and it deserves recognition for venturing into territory rarely explored in Bangladeshi cinema.

Yes, there are many political thrillers in other industries, but Tandob is different-this is our story, a Bangladeshi story, grounded in the struggles and issues that every Bangladeshi can relate to. The film fearlessly dives into dark and disturbing themes: from Aynaghor (iron cells), to the unholy alliance of political leaders and corporate mafias, to the youth job crisis-topics that hit close to home.

Technically, the film impresses. The color grading, background score, non-linear storytelling, and action sequences are all commendably executed. While the first half is a bit slow, it never feels boring-it allows the story and tension to build gradually. But once the second half kicks in, prepare yourself. The twists and turns are sharp, and most importantly-unpredictable. Unlike many thrillers where twists can be guessed halfway through, Tandob keeps you on edge until the end. Also both Shakib Khan and Joya Ahsan delivered strong performances

Some people are calling it a copy of Jawan. Honestly, I doubt their film sense. If we go by that logic, then Jawan is also inspired by Money Heist-hostage gangs, female police, mastermind-romance dynamic-it's all there. So calling Tandob a copy is not only unfair, it's lazy. Constructive criticism is important, but spreading negativity without nuance helps no one.

That said, I do have constructive feedback: the song placements could've been better, and the post-credit scene felt too similar to the "Rolex-style" reveals from other franchises. A more original touch there could've made the ending more powerful.

But overall, it was a refreshing and thrilling experience. After a long time, I felt proud to watch a film that tells our own story, using our own voice, and not shying away from portraying uncomfortable truths.

We need more films like Tandob-films that take risks, that challenge the norm, and that dare to reflect reality.

Finally, "Tandob" is more than worth watching-it's a step forward for Bangladeshi cinema. Don't miss it.

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.

Megastar Shakib Khan's one of the best performances to date and the best movie of Director Raihan Rafi, undoubtedly. The Third Back-To-Back Industry Hit Loading For Megastar Shakib Khan.

Without Spoiler:

This is a heist and revenge action thriller. In the first half, they took time and built the story and characters so powerfully that the second half became more exciting and impactful. The two female leads are Jaya Ahsan and Sabila Nur. Jaya Ahsan did a great job, and her character was powerful. This is Sabila Nur's debut film, and she did a tremendous job as a love interest of Shakib Khan. All the other cast were impactful and made this movie a complete banger. There are two big cameos which signal Taandob 2 and Raihan Rafi's Gangster Universe.

The plot was fast and engaging; it will catch your attention immediately and take you on a roller-coaster ride.

Dramma, Romance, Revenge, Violence, Twist, Sound Design, Story everything is just top notch. Do not miss the opportunity to watch it in the hall. Ami personally sakib khan er movie eto like kori na.
