As said, " Big names of the industry cannot make a movie hit". It’s true. Even big current stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who needs no introduction, cannot save a strong scripted movie like TE3N.
Teen has left me disappointed feelings. Director of the movie is Ribhu Dasgupta and co-producer Sujoy Ghosh. The film is not effectively terrible. Apart from the creative naming of the title, nothing else feels unique in the film.
John Biswas, played by Amitabh Bachchan, an aged man is trying to find the culprits responsible for the kidnapping and later murdering his grand-daughter. Hoping to find some clues that will lead to the culprits, John always goes to the police station. Sarita, played by Vidya Balan, a cop, tries to convince John to withdraw the case after eight years of fighting for it. But in vain. Martin, played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, was the original taker of the case, but then later he retires only to become nothing else but a’PRIEST’. A still head scratching question as to why did he become a priest? Mere not able to solve a single case, should a cop become a priest?
After the gap of eight years, when same incident occurs, the three follow their respective clues to find the culprit. The first half of the movie is quite slow, but shows signs of interest in the second half.
Some of the scenes and certain dialogues are undigestable. Clear signs of poor screenplay. The only thing that impresses in the movie is the glance of Kolkata. Beautifully captured. Nice cinematography.
Above all the three only AB justifies to the role to a certain level and makes it a one time watch for his lovers and followers.
Overall, a one time Watchable Movie. Then its up to you.!
