A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.

没有程序正义，实质正义就是一句空话，没有民权，民生就是板上鱼肉。电影中的人权律师是一名共产党员，但这中国，这种角色会被打上公知或自由派标签。公平正义就是公平正义，没有所谓自由派或左派之分。正如雨果说:“在绝对正确的革命之上还有一个绝对正确的人道主义。”
漫漫自由路！
真人真事省去了故事基础，但是电影拍的不怎么样。有些事是一定要有人去做的，如果都不去做，那么光明就会被黑暗吞噬！
即便在最黑暗的背景下，我们也能发现人性的光芒。种姓制度是印度历史最黑暗的一部分，直到今天也仍旧在影响整个国家。Rajakannu案是一场对种姓制度的战斗，这样的战斗告诉人们：人生而平等、法律面前人人平等在任何国家面前都不该只是一个口号，而如何才能将其实现呢，只有不断地战斗。
开篇一小时我其实对这电影是没啥好感的，叙事很没有质感，尤其是主角太也装B，想来后面会是个男主一路开挂翻案的鸡血片。没想到进入案件调查后，这片品质渐渐上线，拍出了一定的戏剧转折和情节跌宕，虽然一路下来主角一方还是过于顺利，反派一方明显偏弱，但导演想要的基本效果还是做到了，情感表达也释放出来了。其实总体这就是一部情感易共鸣，事件有意义，但电影本身中上水准的电影，介于3.5-4星之间。这类影片，豆瓣的评分一如既往的高的离谱。
很可悲的一件事是，当不公正发生时，低种姓并不能通过任何方式讨回公道，最终还是要依靠高种姓的良心。
对于印度底层民众，这部片子在十年、二十年、甚至百年后仍会有影响力。
看了这部片子觉得印度是有希望的，更加尊敬印度。
印度版的《辩护人》？1995年背景，没有人权的低种姓部落，数代都是饱受歧视的“不可接触者”，拿不到居住证、游离于社会之外，可以被随意安上罪名被捕入狱虐待殴打，真的太惨了哎哎哎，女主痛苦的演技到位，恨得我想把那几个黑警扒皮抽骨
电影可以预见一个国家的未来。《小萝莉的猴神大叔》探讨爱、真诚、信仰。《地球上的星星》探讨对儿童的教育和关爱。《摔跤吧爸爸》探讨家庭与成长。《厕所英雄》探讨女性意识。这部探讨司法正义、个体生命尊严。这些题材我们只能呵呵了…，还哪来的勇气去嘲笑人家。
看过之后，没有感受到谁是特别令人震撼或者说感动，倒是觉得最终沉冤得雪最大的功臣应该是法官高度正直和明辨是非。感觉这片子把正义的化身过多的赋予了律师，而法官的决定性作用弱化到理所应当，这显然缺乏说服力。如果公正法官的表现是常态化的，那打赢这场官司其实并不特别难；如果法官顶住了很多压力，坚持给予公正审判，不卖人情不同流合污，那法官才是更值得描写的英雄呀！
警暴、底层、种姓、正义、司法……容纳了太多的社会议题。调度规整、推进有力，印度社会派佳作。
一部艺术价值并不高的批判现实主义作品，在这里打出这么高的分数，值得深思。凭啥看不起印度？毕竟人家能拍摄和公映这种电影。
这种片子可以被拍出来，本身就是一种伟大。虽然时不时唱歌让我出戏，男主也过于耍帅。印度有爬满火车的人，印度也有宝莱坞。
好人和坏人泾渭分明……不过四星还是给比姆拉奥律师
拍摄手法一般，甚至很老套，难得的是这样的题材，而且还是在印度，再过10年中国也未必拍得出这种题材的电影。
能拍、敢拍这样的题材值得表扬，但是从艺术的角度看，拍的太过脸谱化，以至于不吸引人。
现实中依旧乡贤横行办事靠钱。。。
苦难，会降临在这个世界的每一个角落，有的就此埋没，有的，因为一些人的努力，让世界变得美好一点。电影里的部落，电影里百折不挠的律师和老师，电影里那些哭泣与叙述，都让我们更加的深刻认识到不一样的世界，不一样的角落。
为本片所折射出的良心起立致敬！种姓制度、贫富悬殊、妇女地位低下、卫生条件落后、宗教迷信……使我依然不认为印度是文明的现代化国家，但并不能否认这个国家是完全没有希望的，是不会进步的，而进步不能指望TZ的自我优化，进步是每一个人的一小步，从一点点的努力争取而来，内部监督往往无效无力，外部监督才是正确之路。本片的主角律师是一位包青天式人物，将矛头直指暴力机器之一the police，凭坚毅与正义将公道还之于民，这恰恰是底层民众最希望看到的，印度拍出来了并展现出来了……反观我们，或许可能永远也拍不出来了吧，是因为不公不存在吗，未必
