Tadanto means ‘investigation.’ Directed by Nitish Roy, who has won a string of National Awards for production design, Tandanto is a murder mystery focussed on two thwarted love stories. It brings together, for the first time on the Bengali screen, three of the most outstanding stalwarts in contemporary Bengali theatre namely Debshankar Haldar, Gautam Haldar and Koushik Sen in three very out-of-the-box characters within the story.Tadanto 2016 full Movie Download.
Because of the amorphous boundaries of the thriller that defies specific definition, Tadanto gives the viewer the feeling of a multi-channeled focus where director Nitish Roy has invested the narrative with every mainstream ingredient one can imagine – a murder, an adulterous love story, property disputes, Marxist arguments, domestic violence, generous doses of sex and skin show, item numbers, songs and music, a triangular love-hate relationship between and among a hard-core prostitute Mona (Rituparna Sengupta), her pimp (Gautam Haldar) and the murder victim. All these sub-plots tied together with the investigation strategies of Inspector De Sarkar (Debshankar Haldar).
His investigation forms the backbone and the focus of action that cuts back and forth to and from flashbacks to the investigation to narrate the other stories. The story could have clipped some characters that somehow chips off the cutting edge of thrills and suspense one waits for with bated breath in a murder mystery. The deaf old maid for instance, does not contribute to the story at all nor do the two prostitutes in the red light area where Mona practices her trade hoping against hope that one day, Dinesh might marry her. The other red herring added to lay out as many suspects as possible is Dulal (Badhshah Maitra, Dinesh’s cousin who however, does a very good job of the character.
