Unexpected films at the box office seem to be doing rather well as compared to the ones that market themselves abrasively, the final outcome resulting in a series of migraines. Tezz gives you every reason to hate and laugh at it.

Ajay Devgn (Aakash) is an engineer who is deported back to India from London. When he returns to London four years later, what lies at the top of his priority list is to plant a bomb in the London-Glasgow Express and not find his wife with whom he was separated from when he was sent to India. The rest of the story links together a bunch of incompetent policemen trying to solve a case, in the process ripping off one too many Hollywood storylines (Taking of Pelham 123, Speed and The Bullet Train) as usual.

The script has quite a few loopholes and isn’t as intriguing as a thriller should be. Aakash’s character takes revenge to a whole new level and decides on punishing the whole of London by blowing up a train with innocent people. So much for the just cause.

He goes through life-threatening trouble only because he was denied a citizenship. Tere Bina is the only song in the film that manages to catch your attention. Zayed Khan is hopeless as an actor and Sameera Reddy wears a constant constipated look on her face. As Mohan Lal shouts to an Englishman in the film, “I will blow your head off if you don’t shut up.” I would very well have responded and said shoot me now! This one can be missed!
