The climax gets disappointing with its predictable, explanatory touch. The parallel investigations around which the film's narrative is built, the move back and forth in time confuses rather than add to the viewers' involvement. You never quite sit up and wonder what next. The situation is interesting but the process of investigation, the clues, their piecing together doesn't set one's grey cells working. Same for the banter and bond between the old man and the cop-turned-priest. One would have liked to see more of the two cops, their relationships and interactions. The three are thrown together, even as they follow their own leads, to solve an eight-year-old kidnapping mystery when a new one, mimicking the old comes calling. A woman cop Sarita (Vidya) with a curious, undefined relationship with him.

Martin (Nawaz) is a cop coming to terms with his own guilt in a kidnapping gone wrong by turning into a priest though not quite as successfully. Though dominated by the towering Big B, there are other interesting characters on the side. Unhurried but with lots happening beneath the surface, glorious yet decrepit. Kahani, of Durga visarjan and haggling over fish price. Te3n also derives from the world it inhabits. The kind that will keep the viewers engaged depending on their age, levels of patience and interest in easy-going mystery thriller. Montage, is slow, relaxed as against a quick-paced, edge-of-the-seat thriller. Te3n, based on the 2013 South Korean film He is seeking justice rather than revenge. Old, laidback, tenacious, eccentric though not as much as a Poirot, he turns to sleuthing not as a profession but in the wake of a personal tragedy that struck him eight years back. Te3n takes us back to the old-fashioned detective, the kind we encountered in a Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot or the German TV seriesĪmitabh Bachchan is John Biswas, a seeker of truth who rides a ramshackle scooter, has a penchant for cooking, fixing fans and spark plugs. Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Sabyasachi Chakrabarty
