Starring Taapsee Pannu in the lead role alongside Ishwak Singh, Swastika Mukherjee, and Mita Vashisht, “Gandhari” has finally premiered on Netflix today. The action-thriller explores a mother’s desperate fight against child trafficking in the fictional town of Joypurra. Helmed by Devashish Makhija and penned by Kanika Dhillon, the 100-minute actioner has left netizens impressed, with many applauding Pannu’s strong performance. However, some of the viewers found its second half predictable. 

Early binge-watchers took to X to share their two cents about the latest drop!

Gandhari Twitter Reviews


X (formerly Twitter) has been pouring over with reviews of “Gandhari.” Undoubtedly, Taapsee Pannu’s commanding screen presence and phenomenal acting prowess have left fans and cinephiles impressed. The engaging and fast-paced thriller has sparked a buzz online. Here’s a quick glimpse at what the audience has to share. 

An X user gave 2.5 stars and wrote, “#Gandhari STARTS OFF on a BRILLIANT NOTE, and also maintains the grip in the first hour, but post the happenings, ends up as a ROUTINE and a MEDIOCRE thriller.” Another one added, “Taapsee does well in a role that requires her to be thoroughly intense and her pain is visible. Ishwak deserved more depth in his part. Jatin is okay in his brief part. Mita is okay. Swastika is barely passable.” 

One of the netizens wrote an elaborate review stating, “At the core of it, Gandhari is a very relevant movie as it’s about missing kids exploited for sex trafficking. The concept is interesting too where a woman (Taapsee Pannu) is out on a mission to find her 6 year old daughter, while also being visually hampered. She is joined by her husband (Ishwak Singh) and a good samaritan, Mita Vashishth. Meanwhile a senior cop, Jatin Sarna, runs his parallel investigation as well.” Speaking about the storyline and over performances, a user shared, “The writing by #KanikaDhillon was really good in the first half, but in the second half, it goes a routine way. Direction by #DevashishMakhija has a good appeal. As I said, Taapsee has delivered a superb performance. #IshwakSingh is reliable, #MitaVashisht delivers strongly, #SwastikaMukherjee hits the ball out of the park with her presence. I wanted more chilling and thrilling sequences of #PrashantNarayanan, #JatinSarna is below average.” 

In a nutshell, Taapsee Pannu’s “Gandhari” has been receiving mixed reviews. As the weekend rolls in, it is interesting to keep an eye on Netflix’s most-watched list.
