TE3N : Movie Review

“Yet another mind boggling investigative film.”- A.T.M reviews,

TE3N(TEEN) is a remake of the of the South Korean thriller film ‘Montage’ by writer-director Chung Kuen-Sup.

The film is set up in Kolkata where the granddaughter of John Biswas(Amitabh Bachchan) gets kidnapped (which was quite obviously understood from the theatrical teaser). But this film has much more to offer for the audience.

 A suspense which is too dragged till the end annoys a bit but the capacity of Amitabh Bachchan to hold his audience’s curiosity together is commendable.

Since this is a suspense thriller I really don’t want to reveal the story and its mind boggling incidents to spoil the reader’s fun.

A grand father who forgets most of the things but not going to the police station every day the inquire about any clue about his granddaughter's kidnapper till 8 long years, all of a sudden gets a small clue.
Here is where the story takes to charge up.

Every clue that this grandfather gets is nicely sewed up together, although some technical loopholes can be brightly seen. But while enjoying the film these technicalities will not popup into your minds, which is a huge thumb mark.

However I must say, Nawazuddin playing a cop(Martin)  and a priest(Fr.Martin) is quite confusing. As he is not able to justify the guilt of a cop for not being able to help John (Amitabh) in his granddaughter's kidnapping case. Also he tries too hard to fit in the role.

Vidhya Balan’s role had nothing much to offer because most of the investigation processes were done by either Nawazuddin or Amitabh. Still there was some relevance of her role in the film.

The major essence of the film lies in the script which was well directed by Ribhu Dasgupta.

A must watch for those looking for some intense investigative film, although it will bore you in the middle a bit.
