If you are looking for a good show to watch with your friends and family this weekend, here is a nice recommendation from the Bengali industry.
‘Taranath Tantrik’ is based on the character created by the legendary Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay. Itbis the same Bibhutibhushan who had written the original stories of the Apu Trilogy. After the death of the author, his son Taradas continued writing the stories and eventually ‘Taranath Tantrik’ earned a cult status. Taranath Tantrik, the show, is available to watch on Hoichoi.
The show follows a Tantrik, a spiritually powerful man who goes on various adventures where he has to face terrible evil spirits and many enlightened saints as well. Taranath tells those interesting adventure stories to his friends, believing or non-believing.
The show is directed by popular art-house filmmaker Qaushik Mukherjee and stars actors like Jayant Kripalani, Koushik Roy, Satrajit Sarkar, Joyraj Bhattacharya, Sweta Chaudhuri and others. The show has got only 1 season and 10 episodes and it will be a good web series for a quick binge watch. The show is quite well made and audiences appreciated the making. It is almost faithful to the original stories and makes an impressive watch.
If you are a fan of supernatural drama and such ‘tantra’- black magic stories, you are going to love Taranath Tantrik. Enjoy it this weekend on Hoichoi and JioCinema.
