Description: Thar is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language neo-Western action thriller film directed by Raj Singh Chaudhary and produced by Anil Kapoor and Harshvardhan Kapoor. Set in the 1980s, the film draws inspiration from Western noir genres and follows a man who relocates to a larger town in search of employment and to settle a personal vendetta. The movie features Harshvardhan Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Fatima Sana Shaikh in pivotal roles. It is scheduled for a direct online release on Netflix on May 6, 2022.
The story revolves around Siddharth, an antique dealer who journeys through a remote Rajasthani village plagued by a series of brutal murders. As the local inspector, Surekha Singh, delves into the investigation, his path intersects with Siddharth’s. Netflix has released the trailer for Thar, which promises a gripping narrative set against the backdrop of the barren and ominous Thar desert in Rajasthan, near the India-Pakistan border. The film captures the eerie atmosphere of the desolate landscape, marked by dead animals and an air of impending danger.
Harshvardhan Kapoor portrays Siddharth, a reserved character who becomes entangled in the mysterious events unfolding in the village. Anil Kapoor plays Surekha Singh, the dedicated cop leading the murder inquiry. This marks the second collaboration between the father-son duo following their appearance in the 2020 Netflix mockumentary *AK vs AK*. The film’s script also includes contributions from renowned filmmaker Anurag Kashyap.
