What started out as an immersive nature documentary that displays never seen before candid footage of tigers becomes a compelling true crime saga in TIGER 24. While the conservation message in the film is powerful and important, the true crime element and honest tiger footage makes this fine film standout amongst the rest of the pedestrian or formulaic documentary fare out there. Documentaries these days are either plain boring or factory made formulas for Streaming networks unlike TIGER 24 which is a true passion project with a distinctive filmmaker voice. TIGER 24 questions our admiration for predators as we squeeze them out of their territories; I welcome this line of questioning as I do this well crafted documentary.

Although the story of T24 is ultimately the most moving part of the film, seeing the unguarded footage of wild tigers made for additional impact. In fact I have never seen such strong footage of tigers in the wild. The story telling holds your interest. Just when you think the Director Warren Pereira is taking you down a pro-activist path as so many docs do he tactfully pulls you into the POV of the government who declare T24 to be a man-eater. A great watch for anyone who loves a great story but a must watch for doc lovers and natural history lovers. This is not wall paper like OUR PLANET and PLANET EARTH, this is riveting film-making with backdrop of gorgeous natural history footage.

I like movies that make you think so this was the one for me. This is a thought provoking film of the fate of Tiger 24, who is considered a man eater by some and a victim of circumstance by others. I was kind of shocked how they patrol the tiger zones and was fascinated by it. The shots of the the environment and the animals were gorgeous. The interviews with Indian villagers and local government officials showed empathy to all sides, which better illustrated the complexity of living with and preserving an endangered species. Tiger 24's whole personality and his relationship with his family, the human issues, and that the filmmaker/interviewer was also Indian, made this more interesting than the typical nature documentary which usually has a famous British male voiceover.

This documentary captures such a beautiful scenery and storyline of Tiger24. We were absolutely captivated the whole time! There are so many perspectives that weigh in and are heard, showcasing the complexity of this one-of-a-kind tiger.

I really was fortunate to find Tiger 24, with no publicity or release on a major platform like Netflix or HBO it is hard to find. I found it only by luck as a friend of mine pointed it out, raved about it and pushed me to watch it. I am very glad that I was one of the few fortunate enough to see this well crafted and enthralling film that presents a lot of questions not just on Tigers in the wild but also our humanity. The film opens new complexities on conservation not just for the diverse creatures and ecosystems that we share this earth with but also ourselves. Initially I thought this film would be a standard nature doc, a film documenting the life of a few tigers in the wild of India and the struggles that these creatures have in our modern world but this film is much more than that. This film is a murder mystery, a legal thriller and a historical review. First a technical review of the film. Cinematography: The cinematography is unparalleled, every shot in this film is well crafted and could stand out on its own. The effect of this is that it really draws you in and keeps you engaged. The use of warm browns is even and well incorporated throughout. There are multiple shots that are just breathtaking. I wish I could have seen this film in the theatres as it would have been incredible to see some of these shots on a big screen. I would also highlight to watch this film if you are watching it digitally not through a web browser as it will be capped at 480p due to streaming capping. Make sure you see this film in at least 1080p. Sound: The sound is crisp and clear throughout even during interviews and discussions that are far from the camera. A lot of work was done to keep sound levels consistent and clear throughout. If you have Dolby 5.1 you are in for a treat, the jungle will come alive. Editing: The editing in this film is tight, each scene is given just the right amount of space to convey the idea presented while keeping the audience interested. Music: Top tier soundtrack, very modern and a great mix of intense vibrational sections, gentle piano melodies and harmonious orchestral pieces that feed each moment of the film beautifully. Now for the story itself, Tiger 24 as stated above is not a nature documentary and I think the film maker originally intended it to be hat it turns into so much more. There is a very nice historical section that reviews history of Tiger conservation in India which really enlightened me on the subject. The history of Tiger conservation in India could be a whole separate film but Tiger 24 is able to give the highlights very well. The interviews are very interesting, it is really amazing how the filmmaker was able to transition from English speaking, to Hindi speaking with subtitles and back again so smoothly. The interview with Valmik Thapar is exceptional, when I first saw the trailer he came across as a rough egotistical alarmist but his interview really opened my eyes to a realistic standpoint for the issue of Tiger conservation and he became one of my favorite characters in the film. The whole movie evolves beautifully from initial fascination of tigers through investigation of key events and poignant conclusion. I highly recommend Tiger 24, if you give it 5 mins I guarantee it will pull you in and you won’t regret it.

This documentary had great remarks towards conservation of tigers in India. Personally, I’ve never had a chance to explore on a conservation topic until now. I definitely recommend “Tiger 24”, especially to people who don’t have much knowledge about tigers.

The story of Tiger-24 is in one word incredible! The documentary leaves you taking sides in the role T-24 has in the world: Is he a man eater or simply a tiger protecting himself and his family? The movie has high quality footage and story telling. You see the different perspectives and opinion of activists, politicians, and citizens. Unlike most animal documentaries, Tiger 24 shows the beauty and tragedy of animal (tiger) habitation in the world. You leave the movie stunned and with a change of perspective. This documentary must be added to your watch list!

Fascinating documentary about tigers, true crime and conservation. Really was not expecting the unique combination of a nature documentary along with true crime. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to edit this complex story, the graphic timeline really helped with understanding the many layers to this narrative. I really also love the extras but the directors commentary seems out of sync. I hope this gets fixed

Tiger 24 is a wonderful, well-crafted documentary for anyone interested in wildlife or conservation. This documentary will resonate with audiences who watch it and hopefully, ignite a passion for the wild tiger. This thought-provoking film is unlike most tiger documentaries as it presents the audience with a unique perspective on man-animal conflict. I highly recommend watching Tiger 24.

Informative story of T-24 that’s spellbinding. This is Warren at his best. Heartfelt story and ending. Definitely watch it again.
