TE3N

A remake of 2013 South Korean movie Montage, 'Te3n' is a Well-Made thriller, but its not engrossing enough.

The mystery is nicely built up in the first-hour, although the sluggish pace does get bothersome. The second-hour unfolds on much speed, but as the final twist in the tale is revealed, the predictability wears off. Frankly, the first-hour works, despite the problem of its pace, but the second-hour, despite fastness, lacks the bite.

Amitabh Bachchan delivers a sincere performance as the grieving protagonist. Right from his body language, to his ever searching eyes, the legend remains true to his character. Nawazuddin Siddiqui & Vidya Balan's characters aren't strongly written, but the actors make them worth watching.

On the whole, 'Te3n' isn't engrossing enough, nonetheless, it has some merit to earn itself a viewing.
