| We begin watching Bandish Bandits, expecting it to be a love story between two people from different schools of music, accompanied by a clash of musical genres. At least that’s what the logline of the series lets on. But that is hardly what Bandish Bandits is all about. The love story of Radhe, a simple small-town guy who sleeps, breathes and lives classical Hindustani music of a particular Gharana, and Tamanna, a sassy, with-it wannabe pop star, who lives her life in the glare of social media, is but a minuscule, though a significant part of the series.
Bandish Bandits is more about a clash of ideologies, a tussle between puritanical musical tradition and new-age bastardization of age-old music templates. It is a clash between two musical maestros, studded with long-drawn jugalbandi battles in the classic style of old Bollywood movies such as Baiju Bawra, though certainly not as grand and affecting. Here is the complete Bandish Bandits Review.
