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.
