Bandish Bandits is a masterclass in the music genre. It's a Fresh and Original romantic drama web-series that gives us a mesmerizing musical experience featuring a spellbinding soundtrack by the trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy who make their digital debut with this show. The series presents Rajasthan in utmost grandeur on one hand and the divine talent of a musical 'Gharana' on the other. I've never enjoyed Indian classical music as much as I've enjoyed it in this series. In fact, my interest in Indian classical has revived, all thanks to Bandish Bandits.
With Impeccable performances and soul-shivering music, Bandish Bandits is like a breath of fresh air. There are a total of 10 episodes, 45 minutes each, but will never bore you for a single second. The Cinematography is Gorgeous, the locations are exquisite, Direction by Anand Tiwari is impressive, the only drawback/let-down for me was the repetitive use of abusive words (BC's, MC's, and the F-Bombs) which were totally unnecessary and felt like it was forcefully inserted just for the sake of entertainment purpose (it could have been clean musical drama). What I really like about this show is the contrast they've shown between the old and new. And the importance of working on your craft. Hats off and a grand salute to Shankar-Ehsaan- Loy for creating this great alburn. The sound-score is par excellent and would certainly make you fall in love with Indian Classical Music. The tunes will leave you with goosebumps and a pool of feelings.
Overall, this show was a delight to watch and I am really hoping for a second season. This show not only gives Indian Classical Music the pedestal it deserves, it teaches us the importance of discipline and perfection. But also, it sheds light on the complexity of human emotions of ego, jealousy, love, insecurities, and above all, forgiveness. All in all, one of the best Indian series I've watched in a long time. It's a must-watch if you're looking for something impactful and beautiful at the same time.
