Priyadarshan off recent stopped repetitive comedy films and turned towards action post AAKROSH(2010) which flopped now he comes back with a thriller TEZZPriyan returns with Devgan and returns with Anil Kapoor with whom he gave a superb VIRASAT a decade ago in 1997. TEZZ also brings back Mohanlal after some time and the forgotten Zayed Khan and Sameera ReddySuch a huge cast so the film has to be good but sadly it isn't too greatThe problem is that the film hardly makes sense and that spoils the show A similar concept was handled decades ago with THE BURNING TRAIN(1980) but it was much superior The film does hold you on the edge but only here and there The promos themselves explained the entire plot leaving not much for imagination yet there was scope for much better drama and twists sadly it's not too convincing. One fails to understand how by Ajay asking some money from the British Government can bring him justice? Also the reasons Ajay and Kangana stay departed is not convincing much. The ease at which the entire bomb plan is done looks unbelievable and that too in London There are some few well handled scenes like Boman managing to change tracks of 2 trains to avoid collision also there are some good chases and twists but the film could be much better if the script was more strong The ending too is very predictable Direction by Priyadarshan is average sadly the film has too many plot holes Music seems forced, TERE BINA is hummable but most songs are forgettable Action is superbAjay Devgan fresh out of SINGHAM and the disaster RASCALS does well in his role sadly which is underwritten and also nothing new to him Anil Kapoor should've done such a role in MI 4 where he made a shame of himself, In this film he does a good job Kangana has an extended guest appearance and she is okay Boman Irani is excellent in his role Mohanlal is terribly wasted Zayed and Sameera get to do some good stunts and are better then their previous performances considering there are seen after ages

Looks like these days in Bollywood, multi cast movies are either in demand or every aging actor needs to appear on screen badly. Gone were the days when a single movie used to rest upon the shoulders of script writer, director and finally actor. But now movies rest upon four pillars, multiple heroes (characters to confuse audience), daredevil fight sequences, cheap comedy and a meaty yet saucy item number. That is how a movie becomes a box-office hit. A few weeks ago it was "Houseful 2" and this week there are "Tezz" and "Life Ki toh Lag Gayee" which have been released.Coming back to Tezz and the controversies associated with it. Yes, the movie is a definite copy, but not only of 1994's "Speed", actually it is an amalgamation of many others as well. Just to quote here, "Speed" was inspired / copied from a Japanese movie named The Bullet Train (Subtitled 1975) which also inspired another director to make a Thai movie named 1 2 3 Monster Express (1977). So, connect all the points and characterizations to get "TEZZ". But some critics are saying that the movie is original, I wonder why! Might be it is in Hindi or it has some songs – only on these grounds the movie can be distinguished.The movie is about handful of army consisting of Ajay Devgan, Zayed Khan and Sameera Reddy, who plan to blast a train "London Glasgow Express 112". Why? Well the reason is quite confusing, at least for me, just because one of the men was deported and sent away from his family (wife and Son) and his career vanished, he, after returning back, wants to get some ransom from the government to compensate. Strange, isn't it? The actual reason behind was, he was supporting illegal residents by providing them work. And this is not ethical! Anyways, as it is a movie and anything can happen. The movie revolves around Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgan, Zayed Khan, Boman Irani, Sameera Reddy and Kangna Ranawat. As far as the performances are concerned I must say it's a decent fare. Standing out of the stockpile is undoubtedly Boman Irani, not a single scene of his is missed by him, in doing justice to his role and impressing the audiences. I would like to mention two power-packed scenes, out of few, one in which he talks to her daughter over phone and the other one when he gets a one to one argument with Anil Kapoor, his voice, his movements and his passion are all at display. Then comes Anil Kapoor, it is a treat to watch him after Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. He excels in every scene. Anil Kapoor has star power, believe it or not, his screen presence, attitude and self-obsession makes him loved by his fans. Even his silent moments are very well executed.Ajay Devgan, after Singham, performs quite an underrated performance. Some might like his performance, but at places he appeared performing the same roles from "Khaakee" or "Qayamat". Zayed Khan has appeared after a long time and he performs well, though his role had nothing much to offer. But it was a sincere effort by him. Sameera Reddy did leave a mark in brief appearance. Kangna Ranawat, the root cause of the movie, gets few scenes to perform and she is improving to certain extent. Mohanlal (the Amitabh of South) is totally wasted in the role of a cop. If any scene will get smile to your face then it is all because of Neeraj Vora, he is natural and flawless in a small sequence with Anil Kapoor. Definitely his fans would love to see more of him in future.Direction of the movie is very impressive and so are the action sequences. The item number "Laila" performed by Mallika Sherawat offers nothing much, not for masses and not even for classes! But Sunidhi Chauhan did a great job.On the whole actors' attempt was serious and applaud able and hard-work can be witnessed in the scenes, but dialogues and other major things simply could not save it. The only few reasons for this movie to do good business include "Masala Formula" with "Angrezi Tarka", action scenes, watching Anil Kapoor after a long time and Ajay Devgan's fan following after "Singham". Logically the movie has so many flaws. If you are a movie buff who likes every single Indian movie and are inspired by Desi thrillers and "Attitude stuff" then watch it, else you can miss it too!

I hardly drag my ass out of my room to go watch a movie, especially with Hindi movies. So when I do overpower this sloth inside me and go for it, I better expect something 'wow' but sadly this was all 'Ouch'. First of all, I watched it in some shady single screen theater, so they had every English dialogue in the movie dubbed to Hindi. The movie begins with Ajay Devgan being deported back to India after the British government found out that he was an illegal immigrant and he can no longer stay with his Brit wife(kangna). Then after some 5 years he comes back to London, meets Zayed Khan, buys some c4 and plants it in a train. Now what surprised me here was, how easy all that was for them. Two Asian dudes, walking around the busiest railway station with sh*t loads of explosives and nobody checks anything. It was so weird watching the railway traffic controllers in East London panicking the f**k out in Hindi when their Indian boss(Boman Irani) breaks the news of a bomb being planted in the train, or the fact that Anil Kapoor(A badass cop) tells the British home ministry to shut the f**k up and do as he says, (all in Hindi) and he will get them the bomber. There are many dumb moments in the movie, the only thing that stood out for me was Kangana Ranaut's visibly bigger mammary glands. All in all, if you're bored, go play angry birds but don't think about watching this sad excuse for a movie.
