Ranjish Hi Sahi 

A web series, based on the relationship between superstars Praveen Babi and Mahesh Bhatt, stars Tahir Raj Bhasin, Amala Paul and Amrita Puri in the lead roles. The story is of a film director, who falls into love with another woman despite his ongoing marriage. He starts an extramarital affair with a superstar, who changes his life. As his marriage with his first love spirals, he finds himself stuck between the two worlds. Set in the golden era of Bollywood, the series takes us back to the 70s. Spread across 8 episodes, the series was released on the 13th of January, 2022 on Voot and Jiocinema. The series is produced by Mukesh Bhatt and Jio Studios and written and directed by Pushpdeep Bhardwaj. 

Tahir said in an interview, “When I was narrated the script of this unique love story, I was instantly gripped by how layered, Shankar, the character is. What drew me to the part was the challenge of a romantic drama where the protagonist is torn between the love of the two women in his life”. Also, the series was applauded by everyone for the cast, storyline and direction. 

Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein

A romantic crime thriller series, launched on Netflix features Tahir Raj Bhasin, Anchal Singh and Shweta Tripathi in pivotal roles with Surya Sharma, Saurabh Shukla, Brijendra Kala and Arunoday Singh in the supporting roles. Directed and written by Sidharth Sengupta and produced by Jyoti Sagar and Sidharth Sengupta, this series received praise from the critics and audience. With a span of 8 episodes in the first season of this series, it gears up for another season as well. It premiered exclusively on Netflix on 14th January 2022.

The series follows the story of an engineering graduate who desperately wants to leave his hometown. But he finds himself caught in the unwanted obsession and object of attention of the town’s gangster-politician’s daughter. This turns his life upside down as he sets on a journey of struggles to ward off her desires and obsession and set a new life with his girlfriend. The critics gave mixed reviews to the show, but also told that the actors saved the show. Shweta Tripathi, who rose to fame with the two sequels of Mirzapur, with the third one on the way, gave an excellent performance in this series. Her Golu Gupta mode, i.e., an educated small-town girl, came back in this show. Tahir played the role very graciously. He brought out the character’s desperation well enough and carried the whole show on his back. Overall, Tahir definitely made us binge-watch this show. 

Looop Lapeta

Directed by Aakash Bhatia and jointly produced by Sony Pictures Films India, Aayush Maheshwari and Ellipsis Entertainment, the film took its inspiration from the German movie “Run Lola Run”. Netflix launched the film on 4th February 2022 featuring Tahir Raj Bhasin and Taapsee Pannu in the main roles. Netflix definitely seems to be caught in a loop with Tahir Raj Bhasin for making 2 consecutive releases within 20-25 days. 

The movie takes the viewers on an adventurous ride when a girl races against time to save his boyfriend. The boyfriend gets himself stuck in a tough situation. Due to this, his girlfriend sets on a mission to rescue him. As the movie progresses, the action of these lovers leads to a series of events which makes the whole movie fun to watch. The technical team of this film deserves a standing ovation for what they presented to the viewers on the screen. Though a remake of a film released 24 years earlier, this movie adds some interesting subplots that add 50 minutes to the film. 

Boli Tujhse

This is the most recent music video featuring Tahir Raj Bhasin with Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai fame, Shivanghi Joshi.
