Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the trailer of this film planned to watch this movie in free time because trailer was interesting with good star-cast.
In 1985, Siddharth Kumar who is a mysterious antique dealer travels through Munabao which is a remote Rajasthani village situated in the Thar desert near the Pakistan border that has been rocked recently by violent killings. As Inspector of Munabao Surekha Singh investigates these killings when he crosses paths with Siddharth.
Thar story is simple but screenplay is very engaging. The writers have peppered the narrative with some intense and unexpected moments. The characters are quite interesting and how they are all related to each other also makes for a great watch. On the flipside, the side tracks are not developed well. The scene where viewers learn who is the killer might be predictable and yet will leave them stunned. A few developments in the second half keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The finale is nail-biting. On the flipside, the track of Hanif Khan (Rahul Singh) and the entire opium trade is weak.
The drama has no comedy or emotional quotient. The film has been mostly shot in the dark, it does irritate the viewers who have to often strain their eyes to understand what’s happening. Overall, it’s a surprise of the season and worth watching for its plot, direction, music score and the never before seen locales of Rajasthan. My view on this movie Recommended
