Tandav

Tandav

Saif Ali Khan plays Samar Pratap Singh, the charismatic leader of the Janata Lok Dal (JLD), one of India's leading political parties. He believes that he is ready to become Prime Minister. However, his father, the party patriarch and current Prime Minister Devki Nandan Singh (played by Tigmanshu Dhulia), is not ready to retire. Other leaders who consider themselves worthy of this position include Anuradha Kishore (Dimple Kapadia), a close associate of Devki's, and senior party leader Gopal Das (Kumud Mishra). The position is not easily won, though; they must constantly strive for it. Meanwhile, idealistic campus activist Shiva Shekhar (played by Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) becomes an overnight icon after impressing at a political event. Shiva now wants to bring about change, sway the youth and overthrow those in power — he has tasted the sweetness of power. But power corrupts. The paths of Shiva and Samar will cross as country and youth politics collide in Tandav. Tandav is a tale of manipulation that exposes the layers of human greed, ambition, love, vulnerability, and violence.
