Taandob

Watching this movie on the theatre has been an amazing experience indeed. Shakib Khan has been mind-blowing as usual through his tremendous acting skill.

Other actors-actresses have been brilliant as well, especially Jaya Ahsan.

The plot is wonderful and keeps you engaged throughout the movie. Raihan Rafi's signature twist at the end will enthrall you for sure. There were little lapses in the first half but the second half was truly out of the world!

The most amazing part is its BGM. Totally world class background music by Arafat Nidhi which increases the appeal of the movie even more.

All in all, this is a complete Bengali Commercial Movie package.

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.

Tandob arrives with high expectations, riding on star power and bold marketing, but ends up delivering a mixed experience. The film sets out to tackle themes like corruption, injustice, and revenge-ambitious territory for mainstream Bangladeshi cinema-but struggles with tone and consistency throughout.

The story follows a brilliant young man whose life unravels after he's caught in the crosshairs of a powerful cover-up. What begins as a grounded social drama quickly shifts into over-the-top action and sensationalism. The transition feels jarring, and instead of building depth, the film often resorts to gimmicks and theatrics.

Shakib Khan gives a high-energy performance, occasionally tapping into genuine emotion, though his portrayal sometimes leans too far into melodrama. Fans will likely enjoy his screen presence, but more critical viewers may find it exaggerated.

Visually, the film is polished, and the background score adds flair. However, its screenplay lacks subtlety, and emotional moments feel rushed or underdeveloped. The film teases a larger narrative universe with hints at a sequel, but rather than feeling exciting, it comes off as forced and repetitive-especially for those familiar with the director's style.

In short, Tandob is a film that wants to say something meaningful but gets lost in its own noise. It's entertaining in bursts, but forgettable as a whole. Worth a watch for the curious-but not a standout.

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.

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.
