    a brilliant effort

    ROAR- an amazing film on Sunderbans... must see for all .... the true story of the Tigers and how we r killing them ... Director Kamal Sadanah did an excellent job, touching the livelihood of the common man of the Sunderbands, their rituals and their culture and beliefs over period of time. Loved it .... This is the first time Indian film has been done with such excellence and the Name is justified. Every actor here did act very much close to the heart, specially Subrat Dutta playing the anti hero here made us feel like killing him ... he was so apt in this cast. Don't believe the media - see in yr own eyes and njoy the amazing film. While some will create Hppy New Year jaise film, some will definitely try out something new and quality product like Roar. Cheers to such effort, want to see more such on Indian ambiance, our stories about our country. Bollywood must come out of all the trash subjects and South Indian film copies .... Its Wake up time - This film is definitely a landmark film in Indian film history !

    Not what you might expect from Hindi cinema

    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.

    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

Hollywood style movie now in Indian cinema watch it.Gripping, entertaining, novel. Abhinav Shukla is very good.a film Brave attempt.Superb BG Music.Amazing effects rock. At last Bollywood comes of age and gives us a Hollywood style thriller Super Movie.Never seen anything like this on Indian Screen. Very Well directed. We thank all people involved in the making of this movie to show us the the unseen. Well Done.the snake sequence was a killer.good sound effect.Hollywood Ishtyle Bollywood roar.

    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.

    • Trivia
      While shooting with real Bengal Tigers in LA, producer Abis Rizvi and director Kamal Sadanah worked with a Tigress called 'Shika' who wouldn't perform in front of the camera unless there was Rock music playing in the background! While Asia, another tigress would shoot only in sub-zero conditions! Looks like celebrities aren't the only ones who throw tantrums.
