Roar (2014) Reviews

• Not what you might expect from Hindi cinema

  spikynat2014-10-31

  When watching Roar: Tigers of the Sundarbans - bear in mind 2 things... Firstly - This is NOT a Bollywood film. This is a film like no other to come out of Hindi cinema. It stands alone. Secondly - When you know that the film-makers were inspired by Hollywood greats such as Indiana Jones - then it all falls into place in terms of genre and audience. The film doesn't intend to be a documentary. It's not a realistic portrayal of life in the Sundarbans. It's an entertainer. It's action -orientated and it's designed to make you go "Wow!" The cinematography is awe-inspiring. The soundtrack is epic. The introductory shots for the 2 leads and the negative male are truly memorable. The director Kamal Sadanah and the producer Abis Rizvi make a joyous cameo appearance and the trick of getting the audience to stay until the very final credit is taken care of by revealing a few tricks of the trade. Of course this won't please everyone - it's going to divide opinion - but what in life doesn't?! Personally - i'm all for people stepping out of a comfort zone and pushing the boundaries. Creating something that exists, that materializes purely from an idea. Roar is a first-time director's vision, opening your eyes to something new.

• Good!

  The movie is pretty good . I think the direction was good, and sleek. The CGI doesn't looks clumsy. The scenes are not very unbelievable. The music is good enough. Nice, stylized commandos, beautiful Sunderbans, and tigers ! All of this is there, but slightly underutilized. On the negative side, the acting was a little amateur. Plus, the story needed to be a little more solid. The poacher angle could have been better, with some more action. All in all, I would say its a better-than-average movie; a tiny ray of hope that the direction standards of Bollywood are going to get better. And don't miss the credits.

• I am big fan of Wildlife

  I was impressed with the Picturisation and the story. I loved the theme and the story. It was very well done and written. Everyone in its first instance would always think of taking a revenge after all we are all human beings and Indian but i am thankful to the story writer and the director for presenting the movie in such a manner of realization. In fact the scenes where beautifully Choreographed and also done in a sequential manner. The message created by the director was very well conveyed and i would await for his next films to come as i would also watch them. Showing life of animal and making us understand their understanding was very well brought as a message to us. Lastly i loved the work of all the actors especially Mr Adil Overall would rate the film 4/5
