Relying on outdated Bollywood Masala, 'Tevar' is, at best, A Routine Fare, that adds nothing new to your plate. There are a few striking sequences here, but overall, it lacks novelty.
'Tevar' Synopsis: A Kabaddi player rescues a young woman from a gangster, who's wants to marry her at any cost. The fight between the good & bad begins....
'Tevar' has a slow first-hour, where the characters & their motives get established. The story hardly moves & some pointless songs pop-up occasionally. The second-hour picks up well, with the story progressing in a feverish pace & the confrontations between the Hero & Villain pack a punch. But, 'Tevar' is lengthy. At a 158-minutes, the film feels a bit too stretched!
Shantanu Srivastava's Screenplay is outdated, however, a few sequences are nicely written. Amit Ravindernath Sharma's Direction is stylish. Cinematography is rustic. Editing isn't crisp enough. Music by Various Artists, is foot-tapping. Action-Sequences are impressively done.
Performance-Wise: Arjun Kapoor enacts the macho hero with honesty, but he doesn't particularly stand out. He's decent, that's about it! Sonakshi Sinha doesn't do anything else besides crying & running. She SERIOUSLY needs to reinvent herself. Manoj Bajpai is the sole saving grace. He's simply electrifying as the despicable yet love-struck villain. Raj Babbar is in top-form, yet again! His sequences stand out. Subrat Dutta is first-rate. Rajesh Sharma is wasted.
On the whole, 'Tevar' is plain mediocre.
score 5/10
