The description — shake with a dash of difficulty, lots of tension, emotion no
doubt takes off on an interesting note. But dear, when it comes to implementation, it let
down big
time. With an disconcert low
production value coupled with shoddy camerawork, Taan
comes
across more like a narrative than a feature film.
So when Saju (Sumanta) doesn't return from Sundarbans — long after his photography assignment gets over — his two friends, Lisa ( Pamela Singh Bhutoria), a model, and John ( Debdut Ghosh), an ad filmmaker, decide to go in search of him. overlook the information of the police about the dangers ahead, Lisa and John decide to visit Maranpurer Haat, where Saju was seen last. There, John is attacked by the lord of the jungle, Jehangir Sardar (Rajesh Sharma), whose word is intentional law on the islands. An angry John refuses to take further chances and they return to Kolkata. Lisa, though, is discouraged. She plans on how to go back again and find Saju, with whom she was fascinating involved once. Lisa, with the help of a doctor friend (Kaushik Sen), finds clues that seem like a game and she finds herself drawn into a uncertainty. Finally, she meets the Jalbeshyas, who are forced into flesh trade by Jehangir Sardar. Lisa had seen their photographs, which were taken by Saju. What happens next? Now, will Liza ultimately find Saju is for the viewers to find out.
The story so far is stimulating, but one wonders how much research has gone into sketching the characters of the Jalbeshyas. Here, the director must understand that mere skin show is not enough, if it is not justified and backed by solid performances. "Babu koto jonmer aasha, pipasha niye boshe achhi tomar jonnyo," — when Sundari aka Rituparna Sengupta mouths these words for Saju, it almost makes you cringe. All with her sari protected low around her middle, the aanchal that maintains its regular free-fall and disclose her cleavage, her hair held back with a vulgar bandana— Rituparna's performance spoil it all. On the other hand, Deboleena as Meghna is somewhat incontrovertible. And as if punishing the viewers with one Sundari wasn't enough, the film's villain, Rajesh Sharma appears responsible bored. Debutant Sumanta, with his curly locks, looks good on screen, but sadly fails in the acting department. Kaushik, Debdut and Pamela have done a fairly good job.
There are a few continuity lapses as well in terms of make-up. Sometimes the dialogues are too difficult to incorporate. The saving grace, however, is the editing part. The film doesn't proliferation anywhere more than required. Overall, Taan is film that makes an accomplishment but goes absolutely off target. This flim not fullfilling the audience satisfaction.
