Kangana Ranaut was helpless in this poorly written and executed film
ajparag-350725 January 2024
Maybe it was the plot of the film that made her sign the film otherwise I see no reason why Kangana Ranaut would do this such a poorly scripted and directed film. The dialogues are so lame that it feels like no effort was made to improvise them. The worst part is that the movie is about a fighter pilot and the story had hardly anything to do with her flying capabilities. Even if they had blatantly copied Top Gun Maverick it would still have done better. Kangana Ranaut is a hero and not a heroine. Audience don't watch her movies to see romance. Just to make a basic point on how important her boyfriend was to her the director wasted 15-20 precious mins that could have been well utilized. I sincerely appeal to Kangana Ranaut to choose her team wisely. One person - Sarvesh Mewara ruined the whole film. His writing and directing capabilities were severely short for such an important subject. I just hope she teams up with better directors in the future.

It's a 1 time watch
vvzvshxm6 January 2024
Couldn't catch my breath or couldn't got me excited to see what happens next!!

Also kangana was doing a lot of over acting however after a long time she was looking good. And Chauhan was amazing.

Graphics are not too good either... the only good part is that they showed the aircraft Tejas that is made in India and Ram mandir as these part of the movies are interesting apart from this music was good some great video shots as well

But they could have done better with this by having better graphics and a little more interesting story. Almost felt like the characters were under developed as well something which is important for such movies.

Horrible.. should apologies to IAF
imvibz30 October 2023
I don't anticipate significant visual splurging, primarily due to financial constraints.

However, compelling narratives have a way of transforming the overall presentation, as we've witnessed in the past with films like Border, Gunjan Saxena, Uri and also some low cost TV serials.

Unfortunately, this movie lacks such a captivating story, relying instead on a collection of national themes that seem to be exploited for profit.

It is so very unfortunate, IAF is a matter of pride and our actors and industry are simply not serious about their responsibility. So much could be done with the right story telling.

Horrible!

Waste of money all i can say
dan-melwyn1 November 2023
I was initially very excited to see this movie. However, upon arriving at the theater, I was deeply disappointed by the lack of a coherent storyline and the presence of unnecessary cheesy dialogue throughout the film. Varun's acting stood out as one of the better performances among the cast. Unfortunately, Kangana's performance left much to be desired. It's no surprise that when I attended the screening, there was hardly anyone in the audience. If you're seeking a private setting to spend time with your girlfriend, this movie may be the perfect choice, as you're unlikely to be engrossed in the film itself, if you catch my drift.

Poor movie of the decade
vivuxingh4 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is a very poor story line which is completely influenced by the current political elections. The story is such that the five-minute story of Oggy and the cockroaches sounds better than this.

Kangana Ranaut, who is playing the lead role in this, has given her worst acting performance till date.

I would say that when you go to watch this movie, you will feel that you are not watching a movie but a program of an Indian news channel which acts as a deviation from the original current situation.

However, some good performance is seen in the music part.

But the cinematography is very bad and the technical logic has been prepared by an illiterate blind devotee.

What were they thinking? Poorly made.
movie_goer8227 October 2023
I don't know from where should I start about this?

The movie is an example of poorly written script which goes here and there unnecessarily and confuses it's viewer.

On top of that the way director and editor did their job without giving a thought.

Don't know how much Kangana interfered in that department, but it looks like the movie directed by her. Cinematography, VFX, sequences are so sluggish that they will make you to think of leaving the cinema hall within few minutes.

Kangana is a superb actor, but here she looked weird and childish.

I don't know how to unsee this? Avoidable to the core.

Great
Yanushsk56996878828 October 2023
Experiencing 'Tejas' on the grandeur of a big screen is a cinematic delight that's not to be missed. From its exceptional direction that guides us through the story's emotional peaks and valleys to the breathtaking action sequences that leave us on the edge of our seats, this film is a pulsating journey of patriotism and courage. Kangana Ranaut's transformation into the character of Tejas Gill is nothing short of mesmerizing. Her performance embodies the essence of Tejas, making us believe in her character's journey on a profound level."Experiencing 'Tejas' on the grandeur of a big screen is a cinematic delight that's not to be missed.

Worst Movie ever seen in life 😡
hiorg27 October 2023
Being her proud supporter for while, and her Hindutva ideology... Thought she would give her best, but being Modi and kangana fan..

After Modi , now kangana ditched my Respected sir/Ma'am

Hope movie budget get covered.

I liked the #Tejas Trailer so much that literally called it India's #TopGunMaverick, but that the ILLUSION, #Tejas team created to distract and confuse audience. Literally that's 2.33 Min Trailer video is the Bestest and Only Good Shots of #TejasMovie.

The VFX, the Action choreography is childish. Even the YouTubers makes it more appealing videos than that.

Writer-Director #SarveshMewara's Story should be an example and showcased 'How Should We Not Write A Film'. Direction is Faulty, he literally lost control over the screenplay.

#KanganaRanaut improvisations in Dialogues is the Biggest Setback for #Tejas. It sound likes 'GYAAN', what she herself described in the CLIMAX.

I'm deeply disappointed with #KanganaRanaut's acting. She literally lost it.

This is so pathetic. Words simply cannot describe it
oneevangelist-4423530 October 2023
Is this a MOVIE ???

I would have spend all my time at home and slept eat or study instead.

I forgot that from such an actress we can expect such movie. Propoganda machine

Another Flop and Disaster at the Box office.

Will Never watch her movie in my life again.

I guess a short film would have done the job rather than wasting enormous amount of money making a Bollywood movie like this . These movies are the ones that's basically taking down the integrity of Bollywood and Indian cinema. Anyways there are bad movies like this basis which we can identify the better movies in the industry.

Pathetic movie. It would be nice if it's ashort film. Again same story line.. Already seen this in so many movies. Nothing new in it.

Time pass direction
haliw-516811 November 2023
"Tejas" disappoints on multiple fronts. The direction feels uninspired, lacking the finesse needed to bring the story to life. The religious aspects, which could have added depth, are handled poorly, often feeling forced and insincere. The film's pacing is erratic, making it difficult to connect with the characters or their journey. The plotline is predictable, offering no surprises or engaging twists. The overall execution feels lackluster, leaving the audience with a sense of dissatisfaction. In short, "Tejas" is a cinematic endeavor marred by its lack of direction, weak storytelling, and unconvincing religious elements, resulting in a viewing experience that is both frustrating and unsatisfying.

If u need headache then this is the pill
shahidbit30 October 2023
Oh what a shame with this movie and its production utter waste of time and money. Story is weak and vfx is the worst . Over deshbhakti has sunk this fighter plane stay away.

With kangana on a trot of flops it takes utmost courage or to be a die hard deshbhakt who is literally trying to support her cause.

When we watch we also expect some sense and reality in the movie. Krk has literally roasted kangana .

If kangana keeps doing this kinda good stuff surely she will bring down the gdp of this nation will cause massive unemployments and will lead to people running to hospitals.. community viewing my foot.

Whistle when you see a woman hero!
shwetamewara30 October 2023
There are a lot of take aways from Tejas...

A softspoken next door girl can just as successfully fly a robust fighter jet as any muscular male counter part.

When you see a mainstream Bollywood actor like Kangana who's self made, financially independent one who was disowned by her very own father when she was just 19 years of age, instills pride in every young girl who dares to dream and step out of a patriarchal system, it's overwhelming to see her play a hero and carry an entire movie on her shoulders like a true fighter. It is believable only because she has been that person in real life. The makers couldn't have made a better choice than Kangana. No one, absolutely no one, can play this role with so much conviction as her.

War, mission and patriotism are bound by human emotions and TEJAS isn't about mindless action scenes. It remains focused on the emotional journey of it's central character Tejas Gill, which is refreshing to watch. For the ones who have been victims of terrorism it has to be personal for them. Can it be any other way? Why is it so unbelievable that 26x11 could have wiped off a person's entire family. We witnessed the trauma it caused, it is possible to be deeply affected by these traumatic events in ones life.

Would love to see more Bollywood movies that dare to take a chance and write more stories around women.

Thanking the makers for not going to any male star to play the lead which would have been an obvious choice to put their money in a safe box.

Woman are Heroes and finally being taken seriously in Bollywood. Please go watch and whistle when the Woman Hero is introduced in a larger than life way! Don't look for unreasonable logic just as you don't when Salman single handedly kills an army of a thousand villains with his eyes shut, or when you don't when Rajnikant's single bullet trails a gang of bad guys and manages to kill them all!

Pathetic , dumb , time waste money waste
becsrock2029 October 2023
This movie lacks everything
  • no acting
  • no story
  • no direction


This could have been the best movie in the history of Bollywood, but I am disappointed with what they have done. Kangana doesn't deserve this man, she is one the best actress.

The movie starts and you will think that it will be something spectacular, but just 20 mins into the movie everything goes haywire.

The whole blame goes on director to make this type of trash, kangana is so unfortunate to work with these pathetic director.

Don't go and watch this is theatre,just watch it when it comes to Ott.

That's all I can say for now

-- A disappointed kangana fan.

Trash
farhaannm30 October 2023
Stop believing that people will simply fall for pseudo patriotism trap, in fact this is an insult if you want to promote it's as patriotic movie. I've wasted enough time on watching this movie, I don't wish to waste too much time elaborating it to convey how badly this has been made. Extremely poor attempt to rip off something like a "Top Gun". Terrible performances, poor writing and horrible at technical aspects. Just to conclude my review I'd say if you want to punish someone this is the best mode of punishment. Please save yourself from this torture, avoid watching this trash at any cost, don't even watch it on OTT!

A MUST NOT WATCH!
mrawesomerockz27 October 2023
This movie shows how average of an actor Kangana is. The entire movie is dreadfully slow and showcases her incompetence as an actor. By the end of the movie it leaves you begging for the money and time you've spent suffering this outright disgrace in the name of cinema. Personally I would suggest you watch a wall instead it would be more entertaining than watching Kangana torture you with the mediocrity as actor. My nephew in her school play has shown more genuine emotion and commitment than Kangana did in the entirety of the movie and to top it all off she has been posting reviews on social media handles deceiving people into watch it,

"Tejas doesn't just entertain; it leaves an indelible mark as a cinematic marvel deserving of a large screen showcase. The film takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions, where the director's vision shines through impeccable direction and heart-pounding action sequences.

Kangana's performance as Tejas Gill is a highlight, showcasing her dedication and exceptional acting.""Tejas doesn't just entertain; it leaves an indelible mark as a cinematic marvel deserving of a large screen showcase.

Murder of logic
lodhisalim30 October 2023
One of the scenes in the movie Tejas that shows the title character's early days in the Air Force Academy has a moment where the instructor asks whether anyone has any questions. Our leading lady stands up and asks when can I fly? It is almost as bizarre as an over-enthusiastic computer engineer asking his teacher when is the campus placement in the middle of the second year. What I am trying to say is that the very thick strokes of jingoistic drama visible in the movie from the word go are really difficult to sit through, especially when nothing is working in favor of the film on a craft level.

Don't believe the Paid Media this movie is a must watch.
atiharshsingh28 October 2023
I didn't go to theatre with much expectations, I somehow knew the story line. However this movie surprised me. The acting by Kangana was amazing. She's done a a great job here. I see a review by someone who is obviously paid (by all know who) mentioning Kangana's appearance and age - It is shameful of such people to degrade a woman like this. Anyways, in this movie her age has nothing to do with the story. I felt her age, appearance and acting did fit the bill judiciously.

The story is engaging and we never felt bored or disengaged. There was always a sense of "what next?" Throughout the movie.

Definitely a must watch if you want to spend you weekend on a nice movie and not on typing boring Bollywood. You will definitely feel a sense of patriotism.

Loved it!!!!

Worst experience
hdrnaquvi31 October 2023
Watching this movie was my worst experience.weak storyline. Actually Kangana should focus on her profession more rather then trying to be jingoistic and hardcore Hindu just to gain soft corner in the heart of audiences. But mam we audience too can't waste our hard earned money Just to watch your useless movies. Try to be a good artist in reel life and providing us great movies to watch rather then behaving like a clown in real life.

Worst thing about this movie was that it was promoted by Rajnath Singh ,the defence minister of India. How can a defence minister of India be a promoter of such a low quality movie.

Drab script and predictable sequence of events. Overly focused on Kangana.
vaz-133583 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The movie was marketed to be an Indian TGM. I was hoping it would be atleast half of what Top Gun was but it's not even a 1% of it. The direction feels uninspired, lacking the finesse needed to bring the story to life. The religious aspects was handled poorly, often feeling forced and insincere. The plotline is predictable, offering no surprises or engaging twists. The overall execution feels lackluster, leaving the audience with a sense of dissatisfaction. In short, "Tejas" is a cinematic endeavour marred by its lack of direction, weak storytelling, and unconvincing religious elements, resulting in a viewing experience that is both frustrating and unsatisfying.

It's such a mediocre attempt
adityaverma-7647429 October 2023
Another attempt to serve jingoism in form of a very mediocre product.

There's nothing that the movie offers, below average treatment of what could have been an otherwise interesting plot.

Have the directors not watched Top Gun? Why are they living in a vaccum? Why are the indian audiences being treated like idiots?

There is nothing new about the movie- a predictable plot, mediocre acting, below average dialogues, absolutely clueless execution. Action sequences are from the 90s. There is just so much more that the audiences have been exposed to in terms of direction.

A fighter pilot called Tejas, flying a plane called Tejas. It could have been summed up in a Tweet.

Must Watch movie
KT_Katty26 October 2023
Great movie A must watch in theatres. Direction is awesome, fighting sequences are great Lots of action and drama and also some great songs. One of which Is sung by Arijit Singh.

Kangana's performance is superb and she totally nailed this role, transforming into Tejas gill.

The film should be shown to all school kids by school associations.

A high octane dose of patriotism which will inspire you to put the nation first and will inspire young people to pursue the path of providing services to the nation.

Before Emergency release next year, Kangana has set the right path with this movie and should fly here from here.

Dumb movie like the dumb leading lady:(
dennythattil3 November 2023
The film suffers from a weak script, a predictable plot, and a jumbled narrative that switches between the past and the present without much clarity. The film also relies on clichés and stereotypes, such as the evil Pakistani terrorists, the heroic Indian soldiers, and the nationalist dialogues. The film does not explore the challenges and struggles of being a female pilot in a male-dominated field, nor does it address the complex issues of cross-border conflicts and terrorism.

The film also falls short in terms of cinematography, direction, costumes, and production design. The cinematography by Hari K. Vedantam is mediocre and does not capture the beauty or the tension of the locations. The direction by Sarvesh Mewara is lackluster and fails to create any impact or suspense. The costumes by Niharika Bhasin are inconsistent and do not match the period or the profession of the characters. The production design by Aditya Kanwar is bland and does not create any sense of realism or authenticity.
