Newbie Ahan Shetty had chunky shoes to fill when he was roped up for this Hindi remake of the Telugu movie

RX100.
The actor also does the film justice, especially while bringing up the heartbreaking and action-packed sequences. However, we want the writing and the script of the film,

Tadap
had been an equally useful catalyst in making the film strike a chord. Instead, it’s an extremely strong, borderline toxic and obsessive tale of love, heartbreak, and betrayal.

What is that :
Ahan Shetty and Tara Sutaria plus performances, soundtracks, cinematography and locations of the featured actors

What’s new :
Poor plot, writing and screenplay, overloaded action sequences

Story

Ishana (Ahan Shetty) falls head over heels in love with Ramisa (Tara Sutaria). His world changes when fate leads him to separate from his beloved. Her only solace is her adoptive father, papa (Saurabh Shukla) who tries to prevent her from descending into self-destruction. However, a cruel revelation makes the protagonist cross all borders in his passionate rage for love.

Direction

Milan Luthria has tried to put together a heartfelt story of heartbreak and tragedy based on a real life incident, but what follows is a toxic story of extreme self-destruction, betrayal, unhealthy attachment and all the things that aren’t the definition of ‘passionate love’ anymore in today’s times. The protagonist’s storyline, although tragic, might struggle to connect with audiences as it looks like a shoddy concoction by Kabir Singh and Radhe from

Tere Naam.
The scenario falters particularly in the second half despite the disclosure of the main turn.

Tadap Twitter Review: Did Ahan Shetty-Tara Sutaria’s love story strike a chord with audiences?

Other than the endearing relationship between the characters of Papa and Ishana, there is no depth in the interaction between the other characters. Rajat Arora’s writing tries to revive audiences in the days of the hero crossing all borders of his unrequited love, but none of the actions or events have a strong sense of connectedness. The dialogues are overdone to establish the male protagonist as the epitome of the tragedy, but that only painstakingly adds to the pace of the film.

Some action sequences seem stretched and add a bit too much morbidity to the film. The twists, while interesting, could have struck a chord with a more nuanced plot.

Tadap
the idea of ​​an unhappy lover blinded by the costume of his “passionate” love to the various plots and brutality brewing near him does not strike your heart. Such stories of tragic heroes fighting after heartbreak have been successful in the past, but Tadap struggles to produce the same effect.

Performances

The performances are one of the main aspects of the film. Ahan Shetty goes tooth and nail to transform into a tragic action hero. The actor in his first film landed a meaty role and he understood the seriousness of it. Shetty particularly shines in high octane action sequences and emotional scenes. He could be seen struggling with the romantic, light parts of the dialogue delivery, but nonetheless, his overall act seems nuanced and confident. Needless to say, Ahan does full justice to Ishana’s catastrophic nature.

Speaking of Tara Sutaria, she had ample room to play due to the different layers of her character. Compared to her previous filmography, the actress tried to bring out the free spirit, courage and daring of Ramisa. Tara particularly shines in the second half with her range. However, a better plot could have amplified his efforts.

Saurabh Shukla is as usual a treat to behold. It is a treat to watch in its portions and its service is endearing and sincere. Kumud Mishra as a shrewd politician delivers a convincing act and shines brightly among the star actors. Sumit Gulati as Ishana’s best friend adds a few light moments to the film.

Technical aspects

Ragul Dharuman’s cinematography vividly captures the picturesque places of Mussoorie. The action sequences were also captured in complex ways. The stunts, although a little wacky, were well choreographed by Stefan Ritcher, Simon Van Lammeran and Ashraf Sheikh.

Music

One of the highlights of the film is Pritam’s music. The songs ‘Tumse Zyada’ sung by Arijit Singh and ‘Tere Siva’ sung by Shilpa Rao are catchy and will thrill music lovers. The background score adds the right amount of intensity to the plot. Needless to say, Tadap won big with the soundtrack.

Verdict

Check out this one for the honest efforts of newbie Ahan Shetty. The film has its flaws but also boasts of an impressive soundtrack. We give

Tadap
2.5 out of 5 stars.
