Although they do not have much scope to display their acting skills they were a treat to watch, a sign in itself of their brilliance. Nawazuddin and Vidhya are totally reliable. This gentleman just does not stop to surprise us with his skills - truly genius. of a bereaved octogenarian on the hunt for the truth (and justice) are perfect and to the point.
His mannerisms, expressions, dialog delivery, attention to details, etc. The story certainly had the potential to be turned into a major thriller.įor the performances, there is nothing that I could add to the fact that this is just one combination of a possible dream team.

The plot (at least of the initial kidnapping) is pretty smart - and thought out at a professional level. This could and should have been better explained by the director at the start - rather than just allow the audience to accidentally discover the fact. Other than the climax, what had me annoyed was the fact that there are two different threads of the story unrevealing slowly at the same time on the screen. Probably the fact that it was revealed rather than allowing the viewer to discover it gradually. I am just unable to pinpoint what it is that I felt missing, but it certainly is to do with the climax. It is not "THE" thriller like a Kahani or a Drishyam. I still feel that something is amiss, or something could have been done better. Despite a decent build up, the climax came as a bit of a let down. The climax and the reveal somehow just did not seem to work. The thriller part, once the story shifts into that mode, is quite nice whilst watching - had me hooked into it. It has a slow feel about it, but that does not bother because the pace remains consistent throughout the film. The similarities (coincidences) with Kahani stop there, the film is just a shade of Kahani. Whilst watching the film, I constantly had this Kahani-esque feeling, what with the streets of Kolkata, search for a person, and by chance the same two faces as in Kahani i.e. The way TE3N turned out, it would've been an underwhelming experience even if I wasn't looking forward to it. As if you had very high expectations and then were let down. It has a trail of expectations attached to it. I don't quite like using the word “disappointing” for films. Along with the writing then, the other departments, the dark mood created by the lighting, the music wanting to take a lead on providing thrills - all seem a little too deliberate and thus forced. The tricks then seem pointless because the basics seem to be off. And then to wrap it up, TE3N does what annoys me most about thrillers – has some character narrate the whole sequence of events and over-explains. Meanwhile, there is a lot of repetition of dialogue and situations for some 10-15 minutes of the second half. As in bits are explained in much detail and other bits are just glossed over. The 'how' of 'what' happened seems uneven. The one trick they pull is pretty neat but the details are rather dull. Unfortunately, almost all possibilities you can think of as answers are implausible and don't fit in. These are questions that come as the story moves along which you are very sure will remain unanswered but are hoping not. Only it comes with its share of huge loopholes. Once you have gotten used to the actors and the characters they perform, you wait for the story to kick in. That comes in the form of Sabyaschi Chakraborty.
Reassuring that if nothing else, we know we won't have to suffer bad acting. While Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vidya Balan (in a large-ish guest appearance) have nothing spectacular to do in terms of presenting their skills, their presence is reassuring. Even though TE3N takes its sweet time to actually get things rolling, you have an indomitable Amitabh Bachchan playing the subdued, helpless yet determined John.
