(Crisp) Movie Review: TEJAS by FENIL SETA

Tejas rests on a very interesting story. In the right hands, it could have been an impressive action thriller. Sadly, it turns out to be an unintentionally funny film. Things happen at convenience which will puzzle the audience. Tejas coolly says that she wants to infiltrate into Pakistan. One expects her senior to hesitate at least for a second. Instead, the senior immediately agrees to the plan, as if she wants to go to Pali Hill and not Pakistan. The way the character also hoodwinks Pakistani officers seems silly. The intro scene, however, is damn good and one expects the film to get better. But the opposite happens. The tacky VFX also causes problems. Kangana Ranaut is fine but appears too stiff. Anshul Chauhan (Arfa) leaves a mark. Ashish Vidyarthi is fair. Varun Mitra is lovely in a cameo. Kashyap Shangari (Vivek) and Vishak Nair (Prashant) get no scope. Mushtaq Kak (Khatooni) hams. All in all, Tejas defies logic and is avoidable.

My rating – ** out of 5!
