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.
