Producer Sujoy Ghosh ensures that there is at least an aesthetic in place and the film is competently crafted even if it squanders its narrative potential.

The plot has too much fuzz, and the characters are all surface And while the identity of the culprit does come as a surprise if you havent been attentive to some amount of obviousness in the unravelling, the suspense is not as…

Te3n is far more competent than the similarly themed Wazir this year, but is nowhere near as smart as it pretends to be.

Even if you do end up predicting the climax, it's an engaging journey following all the clues and dodging the red herrings.

TE3N, however, is no Kahaani. It is at best a hotchpotch of a film that could have been so much better. Watch it though. For the brilliant acting.

Slow and tiresome, TE3N is a cumbersome experience that is better forgotten than remembered!

Watch it for the raw display of human drama and the realistic approach to many situations which has been missing at the movies for sometime now.

Te3n grips us from the first frame. It is a thriller with a heart, soul and most exceptionally, a conscience.

Masala · Lokesh Dharmani

The film doesn't engage you much. I, not even for once, felt the need to investigate the case or make whodunnit guesses or sit on the edge of my seat, which is not a great thing for an emotional thriller Te3n aims to be.

Visually and aurally, Te3n is a consistently alive film. It isnt an edge-of-the-seat humdinger. The motivations of its key characters are at times rather fuzzy.

Te3n is drab and lets down its luminous cast and the audience whose appetite for such films is growing by the day.

If you want to see a really good suspense film, see Montage. But if you are allergic to subtitles and in the mood for a Hindi film, then maybe go see this.

All in all, Amitabh Bachchan will leave a lasting first impression in this flick while Nawazuddin Siddiqui excels in his dual job of a Father and an Inspector.

...after lack of thrills and glaring loopholes like the silence of the child during the climax, TE3N is a watchable flick if you go without carrying the baggage of high expectations of a thrilling 'Kahani' post KAHAANI.

The passion of people making the film comes out on the screen and makes it a must watch.

IndiaWest · R.M. Vijayakar

Watch this one for its sheer ingenuity, though at 136 minutes, it is probably about 16 minutes too long.

Te3n turns out to be a disappointing thriller as it starts to give away the suspense quite early on. If you want to catch a film that can make you scratch your brain then this is not your pick.

Based on the Korean film, Montage, Te3n is a whodunnit that is simple in its intention but clever in its execution As the jigsaw puzzle falls into place, the protagonists’ feelings towards the situation and themselves falls…

TE3N is like a Hitchcock film where you keep staring at the screen in anticipation of a new twist even though you have a vague idea about the end. | Entertainment News

Zee ETC Bollywood Business · Komal Nahta

The excitement and fire of a thriller are missing in the script. Ritesh Shahs dialogues are too commonplace for the genre. Ribhu Dasguptas direction is not in keeping with the genre of the film.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
