<strong>Nothing to Roar about!</strong><br/> A wildlife photographer on an assignment in the Sunderbans finds a white tiger cub caught in a poacher's trap. In order to protect the cub, he takes it back to his residence in the nearby village only to face strong opposition from his guide Madhu (Pranay Dixit) and the rest of the villagers. The photographer Uday (Pulkit Jawahar) is warned of dire consequences by the superstitious villagers but he dismisses them and until the forest warden (Achint Kaur) forces him to part with his find, he keeps the rare white tiger cub in a cardboard box.

<strong>Shorbonash! Kamal Sadanah's film on man-eaters may turn tigers suicidal</strong><br/> Confession time. I like bad movies - unintentionally bad movies, especially so. However, a viewing of Roar: Tigers of the Sundarbans has left me suspicious of debutant director Kamal Sadanah's motives. Nobody can turn out a film this terrible without being aware of it. Purportedly about the Royal Bengal tigers of the Sundarbans, at the India-Bangladesh borders, Roar is about the human-animal conflict in the area and deals with it in the daftest possible way. When a needlessly overenthusiastic photographer rescues a little white tiger cub, the tigress mother tracks him down and goes for the kill. Enter Mr.Photographer's big brother, Mr.Commando, who lands in the village at a moment's notice at the end of a short boat ride that might as well have been shot at the Versova-Madh jetty.

There is a theory in Roar as to why some tigers in the Sundarbans are maneaters. It suggests that dead bodies from the Ganga and cyclones end up floating into the region, and the starving animals unable to hunt settle for them to survive. We have a better, wilder theory as to why the striped animals prey on humans. It's because humans make frightful films like Roar.

If you're looking for a rewarding cinematic experience with a coherent plot and well-rounded characters, then Roar - The Tigers of Sunderbans may just prove a bore that you'd probably abhor. But if you're the sort (like me) who grants leeway to movies for stretching its neck out beyond the domain of the conventional, then Roar has quite some visual swagger and splendour to it.

<strong>Roar review: Novelty of the concept makes it an interesting film</strong><br/> Do you remember the song Tujhe Naa Dekhoon Toh Chain Mujhe Aata Nahi from 1993 film Rang? If yes then you are likely to remember the guy opposite Divya Bharti. Yes, I am talking about Kamal Sadanah, one of the cute heroes of early '90s. He is a director now and his debut venture tries to explore a lesser seen world. A wildlife photographer goes to the Sunderbans, one of the most dense mangrove forests in the world, where he rescues a white tiger cub only to be discovered and killed by the cub's mother. Now, the photographer's brother Pandit (Abhinav Shukla), who is a commando by profession, is back in the tiger's territory to avenge the death of his kin. But, despite being a trained soldier he is helpless in a land which belongs to the deadly wild creatures. What will happen to his vows then? Is he on the right track? Should the killer animal be treated as one lesser species and be spared the pain of death?

Quite a week, this one. After watching the '90s trash Super Nani I thought the week could not get worse. And then I walked into the theater to watch Roar The Tiger Of Sundarbans to discover top level trash of this decade. A film which seemed more bent on exploring cleavage than tigers.

What's Good: Well, that's very inappropriate question to ask when a film crosses the purview of horrid. What's Bad: The research facts primarily are incorrect, logic obviously goes for a toss, the actors aren't clearly the best thing about the film and mostly the C-grade, unrequired skin show in the film which is unintentionally hilarious.

<strong>Movie Review: Roar - Finally found the gem of 2014</strong><br/> This rare gem of a movie is not supposed to make sense because it is mainly for the brain dead. Anybody who's ever heard of the Sundarbans, let alone made a whole film on it, will know the region houses the Royal Bengal Tiger. Looking splendid in its brown-orange coat with black stripes, the Bengal tiger is the national animal of both India and Bangladesh where the Sundarbans are located. Bore, I beg your pardon, Roar: The Tiger of Sundarbans, is about a white tiger instead. And that's the least of your worries as a viewer. The white tigress, to be precise, possibly imported from Thailand, kills a wildlife photographer in the Sundarbans, because that lensman had brought home her cub from the forest.
