This 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.

Reviewed 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.

Well if you are fed up of creepy Saas-Bahu serials and same old stuff of dance n romance , ROAR is the movie that will leave you amazed. Till date i have not seen any bollywood movie with such high class visual effects / VFS. This movie is clearly a benchmark for special effect and meticulous camera work.Back ground score of this movie is simply superb and location is highly impossible to reach by any man.Kashmiri - Adil Chahal , reminded me of John Rambo. Jhumpa is a girl that makes jungle shiver.Highly recommended for young generation who are looking for more than a simple bollywood flick.MUST WATCH !!!

An amazing adventure encompassing the intrigue, mystic and precarious beauty of the luxuriant jungle of sundarbans .'The Hunters become the hunted' The movie substantially captured the true essence of jungle survival what it means of for its natives, tribes or animals, their way of respecting nature and what it means for humans to maintain its boundaries... the voiceless animals and their grievances there way to retaliate following the rule of jungleWhat truly kept me riveted to the movie is The Majestic predator with mesmerizing dangerous stride the white tiger Chinchilla albinistic. Born one in thousands. I equally dreaded and craved his appearance on the screen. The music is good and so is the cinematography. The story premise is predictable. The biggest aspect of the movie which was quite disappointing was the acting. The lead actors failed to bring the characters to life. The characters and dialogs were insipid and lacking color... But The tigress makes it worthwhile to watch.... easily the best and most exciting character of the movie
