Gandhari is a crime-action-thriller released on Netflix.
After watching the film, I’m sharing my experience-good or bad-through this review.
So, without wasting any time, let’s talk about what it was like watching this movie.
Let’s spill some tea!
First, here’s a brief overview of the story.
It follows a mother searching for her kidnapped daughter. To find out what kind of dangers she faces during this quest and whether or not she succeeds in finding her daughter, you’II have to watch the film.
Gandhari Review: A Story We’ve Seen Before
The film’s story isn’t new.
The plot feels almost identical to what we’ve already seen in both the 2008 film Taken and the 2026 film The Furious.
The only difference is that while those English movies featured a father searching for his daughter, this film features a mother looking for hers.
And just as child traffickers abduct the girl in those movies, you see the same thing happen in this film.
The only attempt to give this film a “desi” touch is the forced inclusion of elements from Hindu mythology.
Apart from that, nothing about the film feels unique, and sorry to say, you won’t get any good action sequences either.
You will only find a few brief fight scenes that are over almost as soon as they begin.
In just one month, the mother-Bani, played by Taapsee Pannu, learns action moves so well she can single-handedly take down opponents twice her size.
It’s as if they just threw in anything at all.
Conclusion
In short, the film offers nothing new in terms of story or characters; it doesn’t even have good action sequences.
If you really want to watch a movie with this kind of plot, you might as well watch “The Furious”; at least there, you’ll get to see some good action. This film lacks even that.
As for the actors’ performances, the music, and the production quality-those aspects are decent.
This film might appeal slightly to an audience watching this type of story for the first time; for them, it could serve as a passable way to kill time.
However, for seasoned viewers-sorry to say-there is absolutely nothing here.
