Review of Tezz

Tezz (2012)
4/10
TAKING OF PELHAM 123 + UNSTOPPABLE + a hint of SPEED, and voilà, you have the recipe for TEZZ
28 April 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Bollywood continues to borrow the script of Hollywood classics (Players, and now this) and yet can't even come close to them.

Ajay was deported out of London having an illegal visa and had to stay away from his wife, kid for 4 yrs. He now wants to fight back and Zayed, Sameera help him because he had helped them stay illegally. They put a bomb on a train in London and demand cash in ransom. The movie borrows the idea of SPEED (below 60 and train explodes), then it combines the ideas of TAKING OF PELHAM & UNSTOPPABLE quite nicely, but doesn't execute them half as well as they did. The chase/action sequences in the midst of Sameera & Zayed are nicely done. Dialogues aren't worth mentioning in this thriller ride. The climax is quite predictable.

Mallika's item number is passable. Zayed & Sameera have been smartly used where they don't need to show their acting skills. Boman Irani is his usual. Kangana doesn't get to do anything. Ajay Devgan being the lead, looks quite lethargic & Anil Kapoor even at 52 looks dynamic. PriyaDarshan has given some nice movies in the past, but this one isn't among his best.

Despite decent content, the movie on the whole disappoints.
