Somewhere else in the dark grimy corners of Southall London, a violent criminal family of moneylenders is headed by Kuljinder with his two brothers Pali and Jassi. Pali has been planning to quit the family business and start life afresh with Kuljnder's wife's sister Jahaan with whom he has been having an affair. But fate has other plans for him.

Critical Reception
Anna MM Vetticad from 'Firstpost' rated 'Taish' 3.25 out of 5 and stated "Taish the series is fair enough, but it is the film that manages to effectively convey the wrath and passion of the title, making it Nambiars best work yet" Shubhra Gupta from 'The Indian Express' wrote "The web series goes back and forth in time, and then leaps to the present, leading to some amount of confusion. And then there is Nambiars old nemesis, the lack of substance which you end up missing in all the style"
Pallabi Dey Purkayastha from 'The Times Of India' wrote " Taish is timely, stylish and has an important life lesson to impart that revenge is never the answer and rage triggers rage but the execution and storytelling technique should have been much tighter, and with a climax that would have taken the viewers by total surprise"
Adithya Narayan Taish from 'The Hindu' reviewed "Taishs failure lies in its inability to exploit one of the luxuries afforded by the medium: scope for character development. 'Scroll.in' stated Taish always looks poised to say something deep and memorable about the need to process old wounds and think before you act. Its often loud and unwieldy, but its flashy and good-looking too in its own way"
