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.
