Movie Review of Tevar

Every year we get a huge stack of Bollywood movies, dozens are made under the big banner while large number of movies are of small budget. Some of the movies are so freaking entertaining so you cannot resist watching them while others frustrate the audience because they know that it could come up with a lot better to show. Any how we are here to talk about the latest Bollywood release of Amit Ravindernath’s TEVAR, which falls in the genre of drama, action and thriller. Tevar is a remake of Telgu film OKADDU.

Arjun Kapoor is performing the role of kabaddi player Ghanshyam aka Pinto Shukla, who plays the match and beats up the enemy single handedly and then sings the songs of his bravery himself. He is the type of guy who doesn’t allow his mates to rake after the women unless he is the one getting leech with a dancer at the wedding. Shrutti Hassan performed an item number in the movie which is something completely to avoid. Pinto’s life is all set and cool and he is going to participate in his life changing match, which will set his future but the trouble starts when he finds out a girl in a trouble and he rescues her from the corrupt political leader who is obsessed with her  and wanted to marry her against her will. Pinto took her to his home and hides her.

 The film begins with action followed by a song again action followed by an item number of Shrutti Hassan. Film till now moves on a low note and has nothing that much entertaining but it turns out to heat up with the introduction of Manoj Bajpaee as Ganjendra Singh, who is a murderer, evil and very corrupt political leader along with his huge gang of goons supported by police and all political personalities. This is when the film shows a surprising amount of dramatic convey, whether it's in Bajpaee's maniac and dangerous acts or in his opposed scenes with Kapoor. You can tell that director Amit Sharma has a certain knack for drama, and he handles particular sequences with a skillfulness that maximizes their impact. Amongst the performances, Manoj Bajpaee's delightful villain character is an absolute treat, his style and the way he performs the role makes him one of the most interesting negative characters in the recent times of Bollywood. If we talk about Arjun Kapoor than he performed his character with total honesty and hard work which make him more captivating. Arjun’s stylized action, romance and mischievous humor brings him at the top of his game.

Pinto is a son of Police officer who is ordered by home minister to help Gajendra Singh to find Sonakshi Sinha as Radhika. Pinto brought Radhika to Agra and manages to send her to abroad but eventually she falls in love with him and don’t wanted to go but all pinto wants to save her from the evils.  If we talk about the story line and it should not come up without action but the writer and directors were in a mood of ‘throw your money less on the screen’ so there is little less action than the demand of the movie. Although there are a lot of guns around but they are sort of decorations may be, because they are never fired.

Sonakshi Sinha finally gets to exercise her acting chops in an action film, a rare film in which she's given something to contribute. She gives a honed performance, with both her dramatic and comic timing on display but the star of the movie is Manoj Bajpaee with the extremely awesome performance of a political leader obsessed with Love and lust. His decision to take this role in the movie may be is just to make quick cash but then he decides to have some fun with the role.

 Tevar has nothing new to offer and never really manages to rise above its so-stale-it-smells formula. Bajpaee gives a threatening and towering performance, but he cannot make up for the mediocre music, run-of-the-mill action and a particularly poor last half hour but you can go for it because of the good performances of Bajpaee with other stars. As the multiplex ticket prices are rising like gold and Tevar is not something like selling your ‘Zewar’ to watch ‘Tevar’.
