Summary
Reviewers say 'Gandhari' struggles with fundamental execution despite some intriguing mysterious elements that spark curiosity. While the suspenseful investigation moments and Taapsee Pannu's performance divide audiences, the film suffers from universally criticized implausibility, with illogical plot developments and unrealistic scenarios.
The dated musical score, poor directorial vision, and problematic writing further undermine the thriller. Most found it boring and tedious, though a minority appreciated its engaging qualities. Overall, the film's ambitions exceed its flawed execution.

My preview :

A fast-paced thriller about a mother-daughter relationship, anchored by an excellent performance from Taapsee Pannu.
The supporting cast is also very good.
*Gandhari* is an action-thriller centered on a mother's determination to find her kidnapped daughter. The film blends themes of revenge, motherhood, child trafficking, mystery, and action... though the screenplay perhaps tackles too many subjects.
Worth watching.
