Bandish Bandits Web Series Story & Performances:
It’s been a long time since the conflict is going on between
classical music and pop music. Through the “Bandish Bandits” web series we came to
know that it is still a strong debate even today also.
After forcing many times Kabir (played by Rahul Kumar) was finally able to convince Radhe (played by Ritwik Bhowmik) to go to a concert
performed by pop star Tamanna (played by Shreya Chaudhry). At the very first
sight, Radhe was completely speechless by Tamanna’s performance as well as by
her beauty. Tamanna has a manager Arghya (played by Kunaal Roy Kapur) to take
care of all her concerts and events.
Radhe’s Grandfather Pandit Radhemohan Rathod (played by Naseeruddin
Shah) is considered one of the best classical singers. He teaches many
students for growth in classical music and Radhe was among one them. His
interest in classical music grows deeper at the same time he got an offer
from Tamanna to sing with her in her pop songs.
When Radhe came to know about his father Rajendra’s (Rajesh
Tailang) worse financial conditions he decided to collaborate with Tamanna and
help his father financially. Bandish Bandits was given the name of the collaboration
where pop and classical joined hands together. Also, his elder
brother Devendra Rathod(played by Amit Mistry) supported him well throughout.
Just when things were going well then Panditji’s elder son
Digvijay (played by Atul Kulkarni) appeared. Considering Panditji’s bad health
condition Digvijay approaches Panditji about his willingness to take over his
position but Panditji had other thoughts so he decided to hand over it to
Radhe. Digvijay was raring to go to win the Sangeet Samrat Rathod competition,
while Panditji was afraid after watching Radhe’s performance. He kept pushing
Radhe to improve his performance and give Digvijay a tough fight.
He faced some issues regarding his hearing at a later stage
of life which forced him to make Radhe his permanent replacement. On the
other hand, Radhe was getting so much popularity working with Tamanna as a Mask
Man. In between Panditji had fixed Radhe’s marriage with Sandhya (played by Tridha
Choudhury). Radhe was completely unhappy with this and asked for help from Kabir
and he found some ways but later Sandhya was forced to send the rejection to
Panditji considering Radhe’s situation.
After coming to know about Radhe’s interest and involvement in
pop music Panditji refuses to teach him which forced Radhe’s mother Mohini (played
by Sheeba Chaddha) to take responsibility and prepare Radhe for the “Sangeet
Samrat Rathod” competition.
The climax was quite interesting where we have seen a great competition
between Digvijay and Radhe for the “Sangeet Samrat Rathod”.
When two versatile actors appear in the same frame then we
get a mind-blowing performance. That is what we have experienced in “Bandish
Bandits” through the performances of Naseeruddin Shah and Atul Kulkarni. RitwikBhowmik and Shreya Chaudhry had given their best performances to date.
Rahul Kumar, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Rajesh Tailang, Amit Mistry
& Sheeba Chaddha was also able to give some notable performances. We have
rarely seen such spectacular performances from all the crucial artists of a
movie or web series as we have experienced in Bandish Bandits.
This was the digital debut for the music trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
and they were successful in delivering an outstanding soulful composition.
Overall Bandish Bandits was a musical journey that will
leave your heart engaged in those soulful tunes for quite some time.
The Bandish Bandits Web series is streaming on Amazon Prime.
