Tevar Reviews

Right from its opening frames, Tevar makes you a couple of promises : that it will be violent, vicious and crude; and that it will do nothing new. On both counts, that is exactly what it delivers.

Tevar — yet another of those mindless South remakes we have been indulging in so faithfully ever since Aamir Khan showed us the way in Ghajini — is a tiring slog, devoid of personality, riding unfairly on the shoulders of a young…

The only thing worse than the fact that Tevar is so long is that you've seen all of this many times before. I came away with a throbbing headache.

Tevar, ironically, lacks attitude and spunk. Watch it only for Manoj Bajpayee.

The film becomes a watch because of it's power packed dialogues written by Shantanu Shrivastava. If given a choice between friends and family, we suggest you go with your friends to watch this flick. Tevar is a one time watch.

Bring on the yawns! It does seem that South Indian cinema has moved on and is exploring some wildly interesting stories, while Bollywood is perplexingly keen on retracting steps. This has to stop.

Arjun is still not actor enough to pull off what Salman Khan does. Sadly the year starts with a disappointing film. The good thing however is that the quality of films can only go up from here.Skip 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.

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!

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

The predictability of narrative extends to the action sequences as well. By the end of the film, one can literally predict the next punch or kick in the highly stylized action sequences.

Arjun Kapoor is always likeable on the screen, but the rugged persona that he assumes here – a combo, in the character’s own words, of Rambo, Terminator and Salman Khan – is not up his street.

TEVAR is your average Bollywood masala movie which lacks imagination. The film runs on a thin plot on an accidental rivalry between Mathura ka goonda and Agra ka launda.

It can be considered as a positive - that a film is very aware that it is not trying very hard to tell a story as much as it wants to show some action and that is pretty much its purpose. It doesn't quite work for me though.

Just about everything about Tevar is outdated and above everything else, it is the story. A good guy saving the heroine who is on the run from goons is so passé making you wonder why on earth this film was made in the first place.

Take 100 grams of Arnold Schwarzenegger and mix it with 75 grams of Sylvester Stallone. Sprinkle Salman Khan as per your taste and you'll find yourself staring at Ghanshyam aka Pintu (Arjun Kapoor).

Even someone as talented as Manoj Bajpayee can’t redeem the film’s stock Bollywood characters

We have seen a lot of northern India and heard the dialect which strikes a hit note with the audiences, recently.

This one is a one-time watch. For all those who love Bollywood and its over the top romantic-action drama films, Tevar is exactly that.

Tevar starts with a handicap as this remake of a 2003 Telugu film, Okkudu, has a jaded, well-worn story thats been repeated several times over and uncomfortably reminds us of the terrible 80s phase of Bollywood

Amit Sharma’s Tevar, a remake of the Telugu hit Okkadu (2003), is over-a-decade-old wine served on a larger canvas.the film should’ve been reduced by a good 20 minutes – it doesn’t run quite as fast as Arjun does on screen.
