Out for revenge: Tanveer Hassan as Kala in The Last Thakur
10 April 2012
This debut from Sadik Ahmed is the first co-production between British distributors Artificial Eye and the Bangladeshi National Film School where Ahmed trained.
Kala, a stranger armed with a rifle, arrives in a small town.
He is there to find out who raped his mother and discovers a bitter enmity between the town’s new Muslim chairman and Thakur, a Hindu landlord.
Kala’s rifle allows him to bargain with both men but he wants information and is determined to take revenge.
Ahmed’s film is taut, well shot and confidently acted.
