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.

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.

But this movie just fulfiled my expectation. Aro valo bolte gele more than my expectation. I hope movie ta obosshoi onek valo lagbe. I did not found any single issue that I can critisize for the movie. Book your ticket and you can watch it with famity.
