Thar

In 1985, Siddharth Kumar, portrayed by Harshvardhan Kapoor, is a mysterious antique dealer who arrives in the remote village of Munabao, nestled in the Thar desert near the Pakistan border. This quiet community has recently been shaken by a series of violent killings. A gang of dacoits, posing as wedding guests, infiltrates a home under the ruse of stealing dowry, leading to the tragic deaths of Babulal and his wife, while their daughter Babita was away with her lover. The ensuing chaos drives Babita to her home, where she witnesses the dacoits fleeing.

The violence doesn’t cease there; a man named Suva is discovered lynched—a grim reminder of the dacoits’ ruthlessness. As Inspector Surekha Singh, played by Anil Kapoor, investigates the situation, he unearths drugs in Suva’s belongings, pointing towards the criminal activities that plague Munabao.

Siddharth’s quest for a man named Panna (Jitendra Joshi) brings him further into the web of deceit and danger. Seeking lucrative work for Panna, Siddharth meets Chetna (Fatima Sana Shaikh), Panna’s wife, and is immediately attracted to her. Meanwhile, Dhanna (Sanjay Bishnoi) and his wife Gauri are living next door, entangling themselves deeper into the unfolding drama. Inspector Surekha, guided by his steadfast constable Bhure (Satish Kaushik), grapples with the escalating tension in the village.

As the investigation progresses, Panna is drawn back to confront the grim fate of his friend Suva. Consumed by jealousy, he lashes out at Chetna after finding her in the presence of Siddharth. Seeking to employ Panna and his friend Kanwar (Sanjay Dadhich) to create idols, Siddharth’s intentions soon turn sinister. He captures Panna and Kanwar, subjecting them to horrifying torture reminiscent of Suva’s fate.

Through nightmarish brutality, Siddharth thrives on wielding power and inflicting pain, even while living in Panna’s house under false pretenses. As Chetna becomes increasingly enamored with the mysterious Siddharth, she is torn between affection and loyalty to her husband. The tragic turn of events leads to an escalation of violence where betrayal and loss culminate in desperation.

With dacoits led by Hanif Khan (Rahul Singh) threatening Surekha and his team, the stakes rise dramatically. Subsequent investigations reveal a tangled history of betrayal involving Babulal, who had wronged Hanif. As the chaos escalates, Chetna learns the dark truth of Siddharth’s vengeance—rooted in the horrific torture his wife Cheryl (Mandana Karimi) endured when Panna and his friends targeted their home in Delhi.

As the final confrontation looms, Siddharth prepares for a dramatic resolution. When the police arrive at the fort where he has taken Panna, all hell breaks loose. In an intense standoff, Surekha, despite suffering grave injuries, witnesses Siddharth revealing the heinous acts of Panna, leading to a shocking twist where Chetna makes a fateful decision to end Siddharth’s life.

Months later, Chetna is left with the weight of memories and is pregnant with Siddharth’s child. Although she escapes the law’s grasp, the haunting events will forever remain etched in her heart. In a poignant conclusion, Surekha offers Chetna a ride, hinting at the thoughts of resilience and new beginnings amidst the remnants of a brutal past.
