Taranath Tantrik

They have murdered my boy Taranath Tantrik. Just destroyed each and every story with great care. Feels like the entire case and direct was on acid while writing the screenplay.

Absolutely stunning visuals. Fantastic cinematography. But nothing else is good about the series. Actors talking with heavy accent. Really bad acting at times. Being a fan of Q, my expectations were high.

Giving it 3 stars only for Kaushik who sort of held it together till the abhirbhab of the so called 'Madhusundori' Debi.....who not only poured cold water on the good work of other actors but made me want to shoot myself for watching that episode and probably the rest of the series...

Anyone who has read the stories of Taranath Tantrik would hate to watch this series. If Q wants to mess up things through his forcefully and therefore meaninglessly different style of execution, he should look at stories that he has written himself. Not masterpieces by the likes of Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay.

Added to the unnecessary trippy presentation, we also have stilted acting. Not a single actor acted the way the story required them to. Kishori and the narrator were particularly bad. Taranath could have been someone from our own industry - bengali cinema does not have a dearth of accomplished seniors.

Chari's character is shown as if she's a mysterious woman of the night who sells drugs on the sly. God! As far removed from reality as could be.

And then there are the quick and abrupt scene changes and sharp music to instil fear and awe. None is instilled.

Don't watch this. Go read the book for a real trip.

He completely ruined the essence of the story in such way that if Taradas was alive he would kill himself before watching the destruction of his creation.
