Movie - Tees Maar Khan - My Review

Here it was finally, after lots of hype and tv appearances, finally the actors of the movie Tees Maar Khan would make their first appearance on the big screen. Me and my wife were right there on this first day first show of this movie believing that if we wait for the reviews, we might probably skip watching this movie in theater. To say the least that was our expectations from this movie. Afterall its a farah khan movie. But with houseful crowd mostly filled with college students, we were pretty excited after all the hype surrounding this movie with a "Cant wait to watch" attitude. Few whistles started for the first ads which were now playing on the huge screen. Then finally the time came when the sponsors list of the movie started followed by a wonderful title track of the movie. The title track is catchy and well sung by none other than the talented Sonu nigam. In one of the promos, they had shown that Sonu had provided 8 different voices in this title track. I could not figure out more than 3.

The title track has a neat animation with a baby portrayed as the lead role of movie doing some hip-hops which was good. Then the movie starts with the theme of some anticipated train robbery of goods worth 500 crores narrated by the commissioner of police to his deputies about the 3 people who can possibly rob out of them 2 are already serving in prison. So without any rocket science involved, the one left is Tees maar khan. The scene shifts and the hero enters with a title music track. Since the movie starts with this exciting topic of train robbery, I was hoping that something amazing would be following in the movie, but nothing of that sort happens.


Then in next 15 minutes, the time comes when the lead lady of the movie enters to the ear-deafening shouts from the crowd to much awaited song of the movie "Sheila ki jawani". The whole song hums admist the wild whistles and roars in the theater. Another 10 minutes and the crowd roars again for the special appearance from Salman khan. Then its all over. What follows in the movie is just the motions of actors moving here and there for the much anticipated train robbery which you wait and wait and when it comes, you dont even feel that the scene passed by.


I would suggest that you can just walk out of the movie theater as soon as the song "sheila ki jawani" ends. The dialogues are lame and the supposedly comic scenes just turn out to be nonsense comedy to say the least. Coming to the actors, Akshay kumar is good in his acting and dialogue delivery, but he alone cannot carry the hopes of a over-hyped movie. The lead lady Katrina is just a doll in the movie and used only for the glamour quotient in the movie and for songs (Ofcourse, she does not have to do
anything with her acting skills). Akshaye khanna is wasted in a ridiculous high profile actor role in the movie and he does a good job of his over-acting in the movie. Rest of the cast has nothing to do in the movie apart from running here and there with the lead actor. I personally cannot recall any scenes that are outstanding in the movie which are the "Watch-out" types. In the end, a very silly movie and a time-pass (or time-waste) movie. It could've been much better as far as I think of it. Anyway the least said the best for this movie. A total slapstick comedy movie with no story, no stand-out scenes, no good dialogues and no performances. If possible, my humble advice is to skip this movie. Afterall its a farah khan movie.
