Thar

The ending of “Thar” reveals a deeply personal and violent quest for justice that ultimately leads to a tragic conclusion. Siddharth, the outsider with a dark past connected to the land and its brutal history, has been torturing and killing men who are linked to his vendetta, which stems from a gruesome event involving his wife and the corruption of his past. As his friends Panna, Kanwar, and Dhanna uncover his true motives and the horrifying truth about his brutal deeds, they become victims of his revenge. Siddharth’s past is intertwined with the opium trade and violence, and his desire for retribution is fueled by the brutal murder and mutilation of his wife, which he seeks to avenge at any cost.

In the climax, Siddharth captures and tortures his friends, revealing his psychopathology and obsession with inflicting pain. His cruelty culminates when Kesar, Panna’s wife and Siddharth’s lover, confronts him. In a final act of justice, Kesar shoots Siddharth in the chest, ending his reign of terror. However, this act also seals her fate, as she becomes pregnant with Siddharth’s child, symbolizing that her trauma and connection to him will continue beyond his death. The police arrive too late to prevent Siddharth’s killing, and their efforts are thwarted by Siddharth’s cunning and the complicity of the local outlaws, likely influenced by their own reasons to join his violent crusade.

The film concludes on a note of tragic resolution—retribution achieved through violence, but at the cost of moral and human loss. The ending underscores the destructive cycle of revenge and the haunting scars left behind, emphasizing that justice, in this story, is a deeply personal and brutal matter that cannot be neatly settled through law or morality. Ultimately, Kesar’s act of shooting Siddharth brings finality to his horrifying journey but leaves her forever marked by the violence, carrying his child as a reminder of the inescapable damage of revenge. The story leaves a haunting impression of how far obsession with vengeance can go, blending elements of the Western genre in its raw depiction of human darkness.
