TAISH – The Right Heat!!!

Taish comes from Bejoy Nambiar and the director yet again succeeds to deliver his style to the narrative bringing the right heat in the revenge drama that is not cold, it has emotions bringing the right warmth, so much so that Pali the villain doesn’t seem to be one than the circumstantial.

Taish a feature film as well as mini web series released on Zee5. It is engaging and performance packed with a style. Style though wins over substance, yet they never fail to lose your attention, thanks to selective few performances along with the great cinematography and background score that lets Taish rave.

Harshvardhan Rane rules the roost as Pali Brar in the Noir film, he comes from a Punjabi gangster family in Southhall and is deeply in love with Jahaan, his introductory scene where speaks ethos of emotions he carries, gunning down few men at the beginning and later is held back by his emotions of inability of killing the one, marrying the love of his life, Sanjeeda Shaikh. The man she marries is a father figure to Paali. The relationships are layered, and it takes a while for you to get into the Brar family.

The plot is not set yet, there is a wedding in the Kalra Family and then there are instances and a certain past leading to the chaos of actions the guys perform. There is another love story of Jim Sarbh and Kriti Kharbanda, Rohan and Arfa that holds a great depth too, Jim Sarbh has quite a graph of character at display in Taish. He is tender, strong, flamboyant, sensitive and determined to do the right thing and yet gets in the groove of Taish, coming into the revenge mode.

Pulkit Samrat as Sunny is the one who is hot blooded and his quest to conduct revenge is on full throttle. A friend who cares and dares to terminate the guys who rub your friends wrong. Coming from the Fukrey filmography, Taish offers Pulkit a variation to display, to an extent he fulfills too, it is his character that is not fully developed too.

Taish comes as quite a decent watch for its style and substance.

PK Verdict: Silver Plus 3.5*s

Picking up from the first season of Please Find Attached, which introduced viewers to Shaurya (Ayush Mehra) and Sanya (Barkha Singh), Dice Media brings back yet another season of its most loved workplace-romance series. In a compelling narrative of millennial ambitions in the workplace seen via a modern love story, Season 2 explores what happens when personal and professional lives start to intersect. Please Find Attached Season 1 started off as a mini-series and garnered 46+ million views across platforms, and the audience demanded a bigger Season 2! The six-episode Season 2 is slated to release on 30th October.

In Please Find Attached Season 2, we see Shaurya getting promoted into manager, leaving Sanya feeling left behind professionally. While Sanya finds a friend and a mentor in her new manager, Shaurya’s seemingly dream position is not panning out as well as he had hoped. Insecurities and tempers flare and their relationship is tested as their professional growth takes precedence over their personal commitments – Does Shaurya choose between a long-pending date with Sanya, or does he attend an office party that’s important for his career progression? Does Sanya encourage Sharuya to push her solution to the Client? Should they disclose their relationship in the office?

These seemingly trivial yet tough choices are a glimpse into almost every modern couples’ lives as they juggle to balance work and life. Writers Kaviraj Singh, Sehaj Maini, and Ajay Kumar, along with director Nayana Shyam deliver a power-packed series with lessons on work, love, life, and how the three intermingle so easily in 2020.

Expressing the excitement on the return of the hit show, actor Barkha Singh says “I am super thrilled about bringing the second season of Please Find Attached to our viewers. When we got back to sets after 7-8 months of the lockdown, it was so overwhelming for us, but gradually we adapted, and finally, when we wrapped shooting, it was a very fulfilling and wonderful experience. As actors, the feeling of performing, giving our best, and seeing the love from our fans is truly encouraging. Season 2 is a beautiful story with a beautiful message about what it takes to make a mature relationship work.”

Echoing her thoughts, Co-Actor Ayush Mehra says, “Definitely, the audience cheering and enthusiasm of fans play a very important role in our lives. We are encouraged to do better and bring in much more to the screen as well. Season 2 of Dice Media’s Please Find Attached will give everyone a real perspective on the ups and downs that couples face, along with the efforts and understanding that goes into a successful relationship.”

The cast’s impeccable performance is all set to steal hearts expecting a stimulating premier launch on 30^th October streaming on ZEE5.

Madiha Imam and Bilal Abbas Khan’s chemistry in the show is undoubtedly gripping but what also stirs the excitement is the delight to watch Madiha bring out her character to life. Madiha talks about how she absolutely loved her character and admired each of her traits. “I love my character Salma, there are so many things that I don’t just like but love about her. Salma is a chatterbox but she is also very sensible and understands what her loved ones are going through. She gets frustrated like any other individual but she is observant of the things/situations around her and is sensitive towards those shortcomings. At times, I admire how naive she is. Her harmless and pretty cute dreams add a different touch to the character.”

Madiha further adds, “Ek Jhoothi Love Story is a very hearty, relatable and wholesome show that goes beyond a love story. This story reflects the simplicities of life, everyday households, family bonds and much more. It highlights our mind-sets of chasing the ‘Ideal’ when it comes to finding a partner. From falling in love to finding your ideal, the show is a perfect family drama and has all the elements to it.”
