Amit Sharma’s Tevar, a remake of the Telugu hit Okkadu (2003), is over-a-decade-old wine served on a larger canvas.
Amit makes a smooth progression from 30-second commercials to a 159-minute-long film. His penchant for colours, the right use of the Taj Mahal (as a monument of love), his finesse in presenting the real locations indicate his adroitness in filmmaking.

TEVAR is a stylised masala entertainer that’ll give you enough reasons to have a good time in the cinema hall. Yes, the story doesn’t have anything new to offer, but the wonderful performances, energetic music score, stupendous action and the fact that it’s a clean entertainer makes it a fun watch. TEVAR is worth your time. Go for it.

This is a love story where most of the playing-time is devoted to the protagonists locked in a scuffle of the most physical and violent kind. And yet, there is a core of tenderness in the film manifested in Sonakshi Sinha’s melting pleading eyes as she makes a run away from the city’s arch-goon Gajender Singh (Manoj Bajpai, bang-on ) who has taken a shine to her.

We have seen a lot of northern India and heard the dialect which strikes a hit note with the audiences, recently. Still, when you open your eyes to the world of Arjun Kapoor aka Pintoo in ‘Tevar’, there is something you feel for Agra and Mathura.

If you’re an Arjun Kapoor fan and want to see him in Salman’s shoes, Tevar is for you!

While the original got registers jingling down South, the Hindi version too isn’t bad at all. It’s a typical Bollywood masala film which has all the ingredients to entertain you – naach-gaana, romance, action and comedy! So if you’re planning to watch Tevar this weekend, it wouldn’t be a bad idea. And if you are a Arjun Kapoor fan then I think you shouldn’t miss this one at least for him!
