Thar has been presented as an inspiration from Italian spaghetti westerns, but we’ve actually had spaghetti western inspirations in the past, known here as curry westerns, including classics like Sholay, Mera Gaon Mera Desh, Khote Sikkay, Loha, and Thar is nowhere close to their league. It has interesting, well-acted (except Harshvardhan Kapoor) characters, but they do nothing as a unit to make the plot interesting or even take it forward. The Anil Kapoor and Harshvardhan Kapoor starrer drifts aimlessly on fumes for 3/4ths of the film, and finally, when things supposedly come together in the climax, it’s a huge letdown and looks done to death – so much for being different in Hindi cinema, eh?
So, if, like us, you, too, have been majorly disappointed by this spaghetti western wannabe, then you can take a semblance of solace it from it focusing on some cool, weather-beaten jeeps, involving at least one good car chase sequence. And if you thirst for for more such movies, then you’ve landed at the right place as we’ve dug through our movie archives for you to come up with the most cool, car-centric movies on OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV…
Coming back to Thar, well…being boring isn’t the only problem of this Netflix film though as it’s just scratchily plotted and weakly directed. These new-age Bollywood filmmakers need to first and foremost understand the difference between dull filmmaking and art filmmaking, and secondly that they’re hardly reinventing anything as what they think they’re doing, obviously motivated by international filmmakers, has been done decades ago by our own past masters.
