Taandav
“Dancing is the poetry of the foot.”
Synopsis
Head constable Tambe isn't having the best of days. His wife slams doors in his face. His little daughter won't speak to him. His only friends, havaldaars Sawant and Shilwant, feel cheated by him. And to make matters worse, he's been given nightlong Ganpati visarjan bandobast duty. The lights are blinding. The drums are deafening. Explosions. Clanging. Flashing. Thrashing. His senses are being attacked from every which way. Every screaming face seems to be mocking him tonight. His blood slowly rises to boil. Until he snaps, plunges into the crowd, pulls his gun out, and as jaws drop around him... he unleashes a TAANDAV!
