INDIA is an exotic mixing pot of iconic wildlife, secret locations, epic landscapes and colourful beauty. This iconic and landmark series is a celebration of India’s most spectacular locations and incredible wildlife. From the "home of snow" in the epic Himalayan Mountains we travel to the mighty River Ganges, lifeblood of India as it carves out its dramatic path across the subcontinent. We also reveal Thar, the “Great Indian Desert”. Its territory includes much of Rajasthan (“the desert state”), where the bleakness of its environment is juxtaposed with the striking colours of traditional Rajasthani dress and amazing wildlife spectacles Also featured is India's lost world of the north east, home to head hunting tribes, tiger infested forests, mountains not yet climbed, rivers waiting to be fished. And finally to the Western Ghats. This biodiversity hotspot is home to epic waterfalls, hill tribes, hidden caves and stunning wildlife.. Part 1: Thar Desert Sacred Sands Covering 200,000 square kilometres, India’s Thar Desert is one of the harshest places on the planet. Baking heat, desiccating winds and near permanent drought has earned this unforgiving land another name – “the region of death.” As we explore India’s great desert we unveil its hidden secrets, and ultimately shed light as to how the Thar has become the most crowded desert in the world. Part 2: Ganges River of Life The Ganges is the longest river in India. It flows from the glaciers of the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas, to the largest bay in the world, the Bay of Bengal. Human pollution threatens to overwhelm the river, but somehow wild animals survive. Hindus believe that Ganges water has the power to purify, and it seems there is some scientific evidence to support this conviction: microscopic organisms actually eat bacteria that could cause disease, and uniquely high level levels of oxygen break down organic waste faster than any in other river. This self-cleaning property of Ganges water helps support some of the last remaining true wilderness in the world – the Sundarbans swamp. Here, India’s largest population of wild tigers have never learned to fear man, making them very dangerous neighbours. Part 3: Himalayas Surviving the Summits Outside Asia, no peak reaches above 7000 metres, but along the Himalayan range, over 100 mountains exceed this height by at least 200 metres, making it the tallest mountain range on the planet.As Earth meets the sky along this hostile terrain, powerful winds, sub-zero temperatures, and a lack of oxygen oppose virtually all forms of life, but remarkably, this immense geological feature somehow supports one of the largest and most diverse collections of creatures on the planet – including man. While the Himalayas rugged highlands offer little direct refuge to humans, in the shadow below, over a billion people in India rely on the mountains for survival. Part 4: Western Ghats Monsoon Mountains Stretching for a thousand miles along India’s west coast, the Western Ghats are a spine of mountains that lay claim to being one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Mountains rear their heads into the path of monsoon clouds, intercepting rains and making the western slopes some of the wettest places in India. Tropical rainforests thrives, and explode with life. The Western Ghats hold the key to life across southern India. Rainwater harvested by the mountains washes down to the coast, feeding Kerala’s backwaters; huge rivers flow east across India’s dry interior, a lifeline to animals and people. Part 5: Indias Lost World Imagine a lost world – head hunting tribes, tiger-infested forests, unclimbed mountains, pristine rivers. Known as the Seven Sisters of India, there are seven relatively unexplored and isolated Indian states. What mysteries lie within this secretive land and why have they remained untouched for so long? North-east India is an anthropological paradise; there is no other place on Earth with so many different ethnic groups. The forest slopes are filled with mysterious tribes whose lives are dictated by the ebb and flow of the rain and the seasonal fruits of the forest. In these largely unexplored and isolated areas people scarcely known to the Western world continue a way of life steeped in ancient rituals.
【7.2/10】能猜到背后有隐情，老师不会真的伤害孩子，前面悬念即便做再好也不会很惊悚。印度女性生活在水深火热之中，所以从真相上来说并不新鲜，但在其环境下社会意义还是很大。本片制作应该挺大，搞得印度人好像都是在都市，人们生活得都挺光鲜，警察好像也挺高端，国家挺文明还有个厉害的女总理。电影最大的bug在一切都太理想化了，事情几乎都按着她一个菜鸟罪犯的掌控在发展，要么运气不错没出太大纰漏，男女两人反抗都被女主一人干倒了，男警官知道女主动机后，立马真心忏悔自我检讨，我们太想出名了忽略了伤害，总理也很圣人不顾危险同意来现场和罪犯面谈。最后反转我倒是没想到，但是不是也有点硬呢，那么一个坏人，从开始就表现得就是一个怂男人。
正因整个社.会习惯性的对一些声音置若罔闻，有能力者也习惯性的事不关己袖手旁观，才让施暴者总能逍遥法外，而受害者却要承受或许一生都难以愈合的创伤甚至干脆把命赔上。当谈及女人在整个社.会中要面临的处境时，它不仅仅只是女性意识的觉醒，更应该是整个社.会的反思。你希望自己的母亲或女儿能在怎样的环境下生活？希望她们被怎样对待？
印度也开始像韩国人那样编排国家元首了。这个剧本虽然胆子很大，但故事完成度还可以，女主也相对耐看。
倒是工工整整的，大部分时间挺套路，再狗血点就更像个韩国片了。桑德拉布洛克好努力。
当我们嘲笑印度人是“阿三”的时候，他们已经拍出了很多吸引关注的佳作，就像本片一样，尽管有些刻意，但好在敢于直面现实，而我们一直在拍战狼。
As per statistics，
陈词滥调哈哈，Sandra Bullock一如既往的Poker face。
就是个基本盘吧。重点是绑架小孩但并没有绑架，而是陪小孩看电视？小孩就这么乖吗？我不信。一个女人能看管16个小孩好几个小时这算不算编剧没生活？
以看似支离破碎的时间线穿插，逐步道出争相，桑德拉这回全程落魄，扮演负罪之人，被世人所不理解，甚至谩骂殴打，也调侃体制笑话，悲叹命运颠沛，简单的故事让导演的手法烘焙的更有看点，曲折乃至深刻，但本身文本回转欠缺，惊喜度大打折扣，只凭一己之力演技支撑，复仇那条线本来也很鸡勒，线里的出轨段落更狗血，总归，一切一切的一切，只为让血缘关系的重新交错，跋山涉水的努力靠近，只为结尾那一次轻轻的拥抱，熟悉又陌生，疏离又亲切，模糊的记忆瞬时清晰可见，牵盼的人就在一线之间，对角色最好不过的关照和慰藉，难能可贵的是，如此克制却又如此动人。★★★
没有歌舞，两小时没有尿点，印度片越来越多好片了。虽然还是逃不开一些套路，例如罪犯之所以成为片中罪犯，是因为有冤要诉。近年这套路真的有点多。
人世间的苦难是什么，也许是你往往不知道失去了什么，却又一直在找寻着什么……为亲情宁愿含冤入狱二十载却无悔，戴着有罪的标签而负重前行，世俗中遭遇的仇恨之恶更似镣铐般举步维艰，在周遭的一切都与之格格不入，人与人之间哪怕是一丝一毫的善意示好竟也是奢求的执念。
又一个星期四要来了，世界看起来正在变好，罪恶可能会更加隐蔽，社会只是在迂回。
直到最后才啪的把真相给你
“一位女性以近似恐怖袭击的方式，完成了一次直达天庭的上访。”说的太对了。
最大问题还是前摇太长，但是这部电影的存在就是为了让印度被伤害的女人被看见，如果真的是能让印度醒过来的星期四就好了。最后，为女性主义无比自豪，我们每个人都应该是女权主义者。
正当防卫做得好
其实剧情并不值四分，但是它反应的内容却是无价的，对于这样的电影，即使我认为前面的一小时三十分钟都是浪费，仅仅是最后的建议也值得我给满分。
邻近结尾处拍得很棒，反转也挺犀利，不错的印度电影。
这简直是泯灭人性
前有《杰伊·比姆》，现有《星期四》，印度电影敢于直击现实痛处这点真的令人叹服。虽然大致能猜出剧情的走向，但最后的反转确实出人意料，让人脊背发冷…片尾报纸的标题似乎更适合当电影名：A Thursday When India Woke Up。最后想借用未婚夫的话大喊一句：“Salute the people who deserve it”！
