Review of film TANDAV |
The much-awaited political drama TANDAV is finally out on Amazon Prime Video. The Ali Abbas Zafar directorial features an array of Bollywood actors, including Saif Ali Khan and Dimple Kapadia. The story of TANDAV revolves around the charismatic leader of a premier political party – Samar Pratap played by Saif Ali Khan, who feels he`s ready to inherit the chair of PM but Samar`s father, the party patriarch, and the PM – Devki Nandan played by Tigmanshu Dhulia, isn`t willing to retire yet. Anuradha, played by Dimple Kapadia who is also Devki`s close associate, is among other leaders considering themselves fit to sit in PM`s chair. But this chair never comes easily, they must constantly keep striving for it. A parallel story is that of the idealistic campus activist Shiva who becomes an overnight icon as he shines at a political event. Shiva now wants to bring change, sway the youth, and overthrow the power pillars. Shiva and Samar meet as country politics crosses roads with youth politics. TANDAV is the coming together of a series of manipulations that expose layers of human greed, ambition, love, vulnerability, and violence.” AR Rahman`s "Dhakka Laga Bukka", which featured in Mani Ratnam`s Yuva is TANDAV`s anthem.
