Thar

Weak Hearted don't see. If you like Crime Mystery movie don't miss this. Movie is full of thriller & mystery. Anil Kapoor and his Son acting was too good.

It is dark, intense, gritty, & beautiful. Only watch if you have a pallet for slow burn thrillers and brutal storyline. Definitely much better than all those pan India over the top commercial non sense.

Nicely made. Good narration. Length of scenes is justified. Acting is ok.

Desi generation coming of age in terms of movie making. The movie is more about direction, cinematography, art work and camera work.

Not much story, which is simple and predictable.

In general Bollywood seems to be moving in right direction.

While the parched setting and the cinematography (by Shreya Dev Dube) are definite positives, the bland writing, familiar plot beats, and the overall failure of the performances to make us root for a single character, let alone the protagonist(s), pull the film down to an average fare. Written differently, this could have been a gripping thriller set within the vast expanse of the desert. The final reveal fails to add anything substantially new, and we still know very little about Harshvarrdhan Kapoor's forever-wooden character. Anil Kapoor, being the seasoned performer, does alright. Fatima Sana Sheikh adds yet another confused character to her filmography.

This movie was somewhat refreshing and different from many of the boring movies normally churned out by Bollywood and other so called " woods " of India. Did not know that Harshvardhan Kapoor was Anil Kapoor's son, till after watching this film. Anil Kapoor, Fatima Sheik did rather believable acting. The major jarring issue felt was was perhaps Harshvardhan is ' gifted '; with woody expression (almost similar to Sunny Deol in the good old days). The revenge story was very believable and genuine, depicting a woman who was wronged by uncouth, brutal savages. The depiction of still existing patriarchal mind set in Indian society is very genuine. One of the antagonist is not a happy man because his wife is infertile. Here, he cannot even remotely consider the probability that maybe he is sterile or that he is shooting ' blanks '. The rape, torture and mutilation of the protagonist's wife is similar to the new Delhi Nirbhaya Rape / Murder case (2012). It may seem that the torture of the antagonists was a tad too realistic. Same can be said for the initial intercourse scene. People cursing is also a bit much for a mainstream movie. The lack of training of the Policemen was very clearly indicated. In the movie they are seen armed with ancient rifles. In fact this is reality of the Police Force in India. The rugged and dry beauty of Rajasthan Desert (Thar) is filmed very beautifully. Altogether the movie was quite ' different ' than the run of the mill commercial ones.
