A Major Disappointment
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreThis is an excellent movie with great photography and story line. We saw this movie in a big group with people from different age groups and everyone loved it. No where in the movie one feels bored. It is exciting till the very end. The length of the movie is also perfect and it is good that there are no songs. The direction is also good. The actors, although new comers, have acted well. The locations are awesome. I have been to Sunderbans and I could completely relate to the locations. After seeing the movie, you would certainly like to visit Sunderbans.A must watch if you like thrilling and adventurous movies.
View MoreReviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 1/5 starsFor a movie where the main USP is supposed to be the tigers and the thrills to be sought from their hunt on a bunch of humans, actor- turned-Director, Kamal Sadanah, gets a brain-freeze and decides to introduce his prime selling point a whole hour after the film commences. Agreed, that it's important to show a bit of build-up, particularly in a horror, sci-fi, or action film, but clearly the filmmakers misunderstood the difference between an actual build-up and what can be best described as a soap-opera prequel to their actual film.In the meantime we are subjected to soporific drawls, and endless bickering between a bunch of talentless actors with wooden expressions and the screen presence of a few rustling leaves blowing in the background of a romantic Bollywood interlude. Or maybe Sadanah must have envisaged his audience to be just a bunch of front-row whistlers who'd be enamored with the sight of his glamorous leading and supporting ladies strutting around in jungle shorts, performing pole-dancer-esque action shots.Granted, the scenes with the tigers are breathtaking, but they can do little to lift this abomination of a film from its doldrums. And, for a creature-horror film, supposedly shot in the vein of genre classics such as "Anaconda", "Black Water", and "Lake Placid" among others, the tension and ensuing action is cringe-worthy to say the least. No doubt, tigers are natural killing machines, more so in their own habitat, but it would have been nice if the Director had shown them working a bit to catch their prey. And, this has got to be the most incompetent group of hunters ever assembled, as they can't seem to hit a single of their targets, even if the tigers are motionless, and egging them on with snide smirks and an invisible hit-me sign plastered across their foreheads.Shoddily scripted, listlessly directed, deplorable acted, and amateurishly assembled, "Roar" literally screams bad filmmaking and a lost opportunity of what had the potential to be an exciting creature-horror flick, with a plausible allegory thrown in. The tigers of the Sundarbans deserve a good film - one that showcases their legend in all its glory, and also succeeds in highlighting their current spate of problems. Hopefully, a talented Director will come along and undertake this responsibility someday.

View MoreNever explored Location SUNDARBANS. Its famous for Tiger's jumping on the boat & eating humans. Superb Aerial Cinematography. All top angle shots very nicely captured. Especially first sequence in second half, where camera goes up in the air. There is also a time slice shot which is a single shot taken from Helicam. Must watch for Aerial Photography. Amazing Bg Score. Enjoyed Background Score of the film. Hats off to John Stewart Eduri... especially when team enters in the jungle & Snake attack. Tiger theme is awesome. For Sound Design Oscar Award winner Resul Pookutty has done amazing job. Minute detailing is been covered in sound design. In honey bee sequence you actually feel like there are honeybee's flying all over the places in theaters. Once tiger comes on the screen & when you hear a Roar. That too in 7.1, it's all together a different feeling. Stunning Visual Effects. Anibrain has done a brilliant job. Honey bee sequence & snake sequence are my personal best. And obviously tiger is superbly done. Cinematography by Hollywood DOP Michael Watson. Very nicely shot. Sundarban is very beautifully shown. All in all a wonderful journey to Sundarbans. Kudos to Kamal Sadanah for introducing us to never been explored genre in India. I am already fan of yours.
