This breath of fresh air film is different from the word go - a first-time producer, a non-Bollywood script and screenplay, unprecedented technical brilliance backed by Hollywood special effects and most importantly the virgin Sundarbans location. Aptly summed up by Subhash K. Jha as "National Geographic meets Fear Factor", Roar bears testimony to the awesome bravery of the cast and crew who have literally risked their lives in the alligator-infested Sundarbans. The film is a fitting tribute to the Royal Bengal White Tiger, one of the world's most precious endangered species.
Director Kamal Sadanah has confidently told a new story in a new way - the film is refreshingly devoid of the known and saleable faces in lead roles that guarantee an opening or the mandatory item numbers that pander to the front rows. It is a thinking man's film, adeptly handled by the director and unstintingly backed by the producer. It is lavish in the real sense of the term, no cost, time and effort has been spared in the cinematography, scale and post production to deliver cinema at par with the best in the world.
Roar is leaping ahead to add to its laurels. In its second week now, Roar has achieved what few films have in the year from January to October 2014 - critical acclaim backed with box office collections. Definitely a source of pride for the creative passion and astute business acumen for the formidable Producer and Director team of Roar.
