Thar, directed by Raj Singh Chaudhary and produced by Harsh and Anil Kapoor, also starred Satish Kaushik and Fatima Sana Shaikh and released on Netflix on May 6. The western noir thriller follows Harsh's Siddharth Kumar, a mysterious antique dealer as he travels through Munabao, a remote Rajasthani village situated in the Thar desert near the Pakistan border, that has been rocked recently by violent killings.

The Hindustan Times review of the film said, "The film's mysterious new man in town is played by Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, who has never been disappointing really but his KRA this time is 90% brood in the distance and 10% angry reaction shots. He gets 100% appraisal rating from me though for delivering well on whatever little was asked of him."
