The Last Thakur

The Last Thakur is a 2008 British western film directed by Sadik Ahmed, written by Sadik Ahmed and Heather Taylor, and stars Ahmed Rubel, Tariq Anam Khan and Tanveer Hassan. The film is about a lone gunman who enters a town to take revenge on the person who raped his mother during the Bangladesh Liberation War. In the course of revenge he is used by the internal clash of two rival leaders of the town.

One is the longestablished Thakur, the only Hindu in the area, and an aging, oldfashioned, crippled, manic, eccentric landlord Tariq Anam, whose influence is waning, owns most of the property in a largely Muslim village and has ruthlessly repossessed debtridden land to build his lasting monument a Hindu temple commemorating his family and has isolated himself from the local, largely Muslim community in the process as most them view this as idolatrous. Thakur is the last in his line, and his days are numbered. This, in turn provokes a suspicious and intense rivalry with his rival, a populist, seductive, corrupt, ruthless Muslim politician and village boss known as the Chairman Ahmed Rubel. Chairman likes everyone to call him father except the actual sons that his philandering has left scattered about town. After a possibly rigged local election, he appears to run everything, and purports to represent and defend his people. Chairman is determined to use the opportunity presented by Thakurs decline to move in on his territory himself and is plotting to kill Thakur, spurred on by his Lady Macbethlike wife, and by guilt over his own secrets.Kala Tanveer Hassan, a young, mysterious exsoldier and selfproclaimed atheist armed with a rifle and a frayed birth certificate, arrives in a small town on Independence Day with a personal quest to find his father, reclaim his birthright, and seek the truth about his mothers rape and murder, and take revenge on the rapist. He is distressed, hungry and arrives without any money. ........
