Tandav is a story that happens in the capital city of the world’s largest democracy – DILLI (New Delhi), where it takes you inside the closed, chaotic doors of power and manipulation and uncover the darkest lanes of Indian politics.Tandav Season 1 Download.
Gurpal (played by the highly underrated Sunil Grover) is a pucca Dilliwaala at heart, and the right-hand man of an important and powerful Delhi politician. He wears a safari suit, and Ray-Bans. He’s a vegetarian who smokes too many cigarettes and drinks glasses full of neat rum to (perhaps) suppress his conscience, and that’s because his bosses make him do all their dirty work (murder, treason, kidnapping, voyeuristic stalking, and conspiring abound).
In fact, in one scene in Amazon Prime Video’s latest “political” “thriller” series Tandav (using these words very loosely — but we’ll get to this point later), Samar Prathap Singh (Saif Ali Khan), the son of the late Prime Minister of India Devki Nandan (played by a forgettable Tigmanshu Dhulia), asks Gurpal outright how he sleeps at night. Gurpal gives his pet cat all the credit, claiming the feline love he receives is enough to keep him afloat. That he finds a cat’s love inspiring is in itself a quirky addition to his complex and alluring character.
On the other hand, there’s Maithili (played by the effervescent Gauahar Khan, who really should be getting more acting gigs), the PA of the current Prime Minister of India Anuradha Kishore (Dimple Kapadia), also in charge of doing her bosses’ dirty work. Maithili is a smart woman, with her own ambitions; but she doesn’t let them show when the world is watching. She picks up the pieces of her ageing boss, gives her wings to fly by putting thoughts in her head, and stops her from making stupid mistakes — like making her nincompoop, coke-addicted son the Defence Minister of India, for one.
