A quite titillating and visceral adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth; Mandaar, with a purpose, displays devastating pursuance of Power and Political longings! Much like the original play, the treatment here, as anticipated is mostly gritty and the dark & twisted approach simply prevails.
With innumerable metaphors and some extraordinary performances; this directorial debut for the 'Actor' Anirban Bhattacharya has been nothing but a testimony to his immense talents.
Greed, Lust, Desperation; all shaped and moulded in one or another way through this relatively contemporized re-telling of Macbeth. Except for a few rookie missteps and a handful number of scowling loopholes; Director Anirban made sure the true essence of the original Shakespearean tale stay ever so pertinent. And with such ingenious and trusted minds behind the Sound and Camera; on a technical level alone, this has set yet another example.
The same impression applies to the whole ensemble as well. From the debutant Debashish Mondal to a veteran like Anirban Bhattacharya; everyone has been pretty sensational in their respective positions.
However, among this very talented group of individuals, one shockingly outweighed all! That is none other than Sohini Sarkar, in the role of Laili (or Lady Macbeth). I would go as far as to say, she's been some sort of a revelation here!
