#TE3N 2016 COLLECTION HOW TO#
Ribhu lacks his mentor's evocative style, Sujoy’s keen understanding of how to weave a riveting thriller. Why can't filmmakers create more sure-footed stories that blow your mind with its sense of urgency, leaving you petrified of the danger looming large? Slink plotting has gone missing from thrillers who fall back on the humdrum of Bollywoodised chases.
#TE3N 2016 COLLECTION MOVIE#
Some sharp editing, a better-written story, and some more energy could have made it a movie to be relished.Īs you savor the lovely song Grahan, that has a striking vibe to it, you realize little has changed in Indian thrillers since Kahaani. So what exactly doesn't come together in TE3N? The story and Ribhu's judgment of how to ease out the loopholes in the plot. Had he gauged the predictability of the plot, his focus would have been on the film's editing. The trio makes it a watchable film, that never soars or shines. Vidya and Nawaz are stellar but never overwhelm with their shabbily sketched parts. This film rides entirely on his shoulders and all that is good about the movie, is just because of him.
Bachchan, Balan, and Siddiqui have unremarkable, poorly researched characters to play but the faults never get the better of them. However, the one thing that remains strong even when the film's writing falters is its acting. It could have been used as a separate character, its dingy by lanes, the classic British architecture, Howrah bridge, the serenity of the Ganges, there is a mystery in every element of the city that could've upped the drama in this thriller. The fact that it remains underutilized in the movie is a serious lapse of judgment. As unfair as it seems to constantly compare it to Kahaani, you can't deny the similarities - Ghosh and his 'Bidya' along with Kolkata, that remains just as charming in its quaint way. Obviously, the film is far from riveting which is not a good sign.Īnother crucial glitch here is that if you have watched a few thrillers in your life, Korean ones specifically, you will be able to spot its shocker of a climax from a distance. The loopholes are too many and come as jarring distractions every time you begin to invest in the story. The problem lies not in the story itself but in the screenplay. When done well, it could prove to be a merit for any thriller but Ribhu fails to tackle the constant shifts. Failing to find its own rhythm, it keeps shifting between past and present. The biggest problem of the film is its coherence. And the trio is determined to nab the culprit this time around. Clues fall flat, no trace of the kid is to be found even eight years after the gruesome crime was done. The cop Martin Das who was in charge of the case becomes a priest and the case is transferred to a lady officer named Sarita Sarkar. Roy promises his wife that he will find Angela's kidnappers. She was kidnapped and presumably murdered.
The story is simple - John Roy has never been able to overcome the horror of losing his granddaughter Angel.
