Netflix's Thar starring the father-son duo, Anil Kapoor and Harshvardhan Kapoor was released on May 6. Let's find out what the janta has to say about the movie!
Netflix's Thar is a dark thriller set in 1985, in a small village called Munabo in Rajasthan's Thar desert on the India-Pakistan border. The small town evokes chaos when a series of violent murders take place in the village and Inspector Surekha Singh played by Anil Kapoor, helps solve the case and finds some true purpose in his uneventful life. His suspicions about the whodunnit are raised when an antique dealer from Delhi, Siddharth played by Harshavardhan Kapoor unexpectedly comes to visit their small town under the pretense of work. The screenplay is written and directed by Raj Singh Chaudhary and the dialogues are written by none other than Anurag Kashyap.
The film is produced by Anil Kapoor Films in association with Communication Network. Other pivotal characters in the film include Satish Kaushik who plays Bhure, Inspector Surekha Singh's colleague who is helping him solve these cases. Fatima Sana Shaikh as Chetna, Panna's wife is played by Jitendra Joshi but forms chemistry with Siddharth who visits her house to look for workers who can help him out. Mukti Mohan makes her debut with this film as Gauri, another strong woman behind the veil, who is not afraid to speak her mind.
As you watch the film further, the story unveils more layers and you realize this is more than just a murder mystery in the desert. Illegal opium being smuggled to a husband avenging the gruesome murder of his wife, the residents of Munabo are entangled in this complex story as they fight their demons one by one. Thar is filled with amazing cinematographic shots of the desert which make you feel like the story is unfolding right in front of you.
Let's see what the janta thought of this film!
#Thar is bone chilling film with many twists & turns. Truly unpredictable plot that holds you to edge of the seat throughout watching it. This deserved a theatre release. #HarshVarrdhanKapoor nailed it @AnilKapoor Sir toh always rocks #FatimaSanaShaikh is too good ♥️ #TharReview pic.twitter.com/tBm3kwvkdi

#Thar - 2/5

Veteran Anil kapoor's screen presence and an intriguing premise set in Desert atmosphere are the only saving grace in this otherwise bland crime drama that suffers from shallow writing, dull screenplay and a predictable secondhalf.
Verdict: Could have been better. pic.twitter.com/G40O8gAaMY
#Thar is a dreadfully dark film

saved by the beautiful #FatimaSanaShaikh, the guy behind the camera & #Netflix or you could be getting lonely in a theatre ~#TharOnNetflix pic.twitter.com/eL5HcPFXg6
#Thar on Netflix starts off well with a good premise but gets stuck after a while and doesn't come out of it well. Technically good in cinematography, background score etc. Overall a one-time-watch with some patience.

#Thar is an example how even the best of music and cinematography cannot make a film good if the screenplay isn’t gripping enough.

#Thar a good try in the western style. Felt like a western version of 'I saw the devil', but not tht deep.
— VIGNESH PRASAD (@_VigneshPrasad) May 7, 2022
The use of voilence is beautifully managed.
The core strength of the film is emotion and its not shown convincingly by the main leads.
Overall a good approach. Not so bad. pic.twitter.com/ZROAxp22Lb
@harshvarrdhankapoor proves yet again that he understands the pulse of the audience with #Thar! pic.twitter.com/fHaNEoJilC

The storyline is simple but the creatives were fantastic. The locales were perfect, #HarshvardhanKapoor has all the ingredients to be a good actor. #TharOnNetflix @AnilKapoor Paji Tussi Great Ho 🔥⭐
MUST WATCH pic.twitter.com/LKgntLTkvV
#THAR has a simple story but an interesting screenplay. The unseen locations of Rajasthan and stunning cinematography are the 2 USPs apart from fine performances. However after a point the drama gets predictable. It ends up becoming a decent film.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️#TharReview
#Thar is a technically brilliant film that has great cinematography supported by a unique treatment of the film.

The performance of the cast was just phenomenal.
The film falters in its climax where it needed better writing but otherwise, the film is worth your time.👍🏽 pic.twitter.com/yvuVZ2vKV1
#AnilKapoor is a national treasure! Absolutely amazing in #Thar on #Netflix .

Theres a scene where he says nothing & stares at the distance, fearing his life end as inconsequential & mediocre! What a performance 🔥
Shreya Dev Dube DOP 😱
A Western done right! @AnilKapoor pic.twitter.com/1tegYdHDq0
