TAISH IS A SERIES & A FEATURE FILM. WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU WATCH?

Bejoy Nambiar’s Taish, a revenge-thriller, released on ZEE5 as both a sextet web-series, and a 2.5 hour long feature film. With this dual release director Nambiar broke with tradition, attempting to answer the question: What format of storytelling is the web more likely to accept?  This is the first time a release in two formats is happening.

Taish unfolds through silhouettes and saviour-complexes. Inspired by the viral tweet on dividing up Martin Scorsese’s 3 hour long The Irishmen into 6 episodes of watchable-length, and bolstered by test screening reactions, Nambiar and his editor Priyank Prem Kumar played around with the footage to morph the film into a web-series.

Taish has two strands. The first strand has two gangster brothers Kuli (Abhimanyu Singh) and Pali (Harshvardhan Rane), at war with each other since Kuli, the elder one married Pali’s lover, Jahaan (Sanjeeda Sheikh). The second strand has Rohan (Jim Sarbh), and his best friend Sunny (Pulkit Samrat), a hothead with a saviour complex, both at Rohan’s brother’s wedding. Arfa (Kriti Kharbanda) is Rohan’s lover – Muslim, Pakistani, an orthopedic.  

The story of love, rage, drama, and revenge this intense thriller Taish is available to stream exclusively on ZEE5.
