You know it’s going to be a banger of a show when you catch yourself humming or randomly scatting to the show’s tune. There’s no doubt that Julius Packiam has done justice leaving each scene impregnated with the intensity we love about a binge-worthy plot.
3. The theme.

A good political thriller is one that not only highlights the high stakes of politics but also has a juicy conspiracy tale that has you hooked from the get go. ‘Tandav’ is the amalgamation of several worlds coming together under the unifying yet sometimes destructive world of politics. Zafar picks up the theme of an intimidating political thriller and runs with it never stoppng till the end goal is achieved.
4. Direction.

‘Tandav’ is Ali Abbas Zafar’s digital debut. After blockbusters like ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, ‘Bharat’, and ‘Sultan’, Zafar’s only motive here is to take us all on a journey to the depths of a murky world. From the get go you’re completely sucked into the world of politics prying on the brim of the dark abyss so carefully crafted by Zafar.
