Director Priyadarshan and writer Robin Bhatt have done a very commendable job of keeping the plot of this film a complete secret. In fact they have done it with such finesse that even though I sat through the whole movie I still can’t figure it out. Sadly for us this vow of secrecy by the makers of the film leaves us and our cinematic experience quite in the lurch.

What I have managed to figure out is that the single thread running through the film is that of a bomb on a train against the tapestry of illegal immigrants in the UK. Please digest this as there is still more that can ruffle you! This act of terrorism is being done by a group of illegal immigrants because they were quite legally deported from the county.

The illegal immigrants want to teach the authorities a lesson and get a patient hearing by committing this illegal act of train bombing. Ok I said it! Hope you are still in a somewhat calm state. Further there is Ajay Devgun who sports a “stomach-ache” expression throughout the film. I am guessing the reason could be that he knew full well the fate that this “devoid of script” film would meet. Boman Irani has been brave.

Then there is Anil Kapoor who is puffing and panting so hard in the film that I almost got scared. I think the single slap treatment he received in Mission Impossible has got him all worked up. Somebody please offer Zayed Khan a shoulder to cry on .The poor boy worked so hard to get half an expression right and yet the makers made Sameera Reddy do all the bike stunts. Yes! poor soul. All the money Kangna Ranaut is paying to her speech therapist is paying no dividends. While it’s likely that the latter sports deaf ears we are definitely paying the brunt of it. Wonder what the makers were thinking when they roped in Mr. Mamooty of the film. While the decision was incredible in isolation but leaving such a talented actor hanging by the rope quite literally is painfully silly.

I wish I could have an opinion about the script. But it's total absence makes my job quite tough. Overall the stunts and chase sequences the film offers look dated with nothing special. Tezz is like a cheap pirated version from your local black market. If you are used to the original stuff this one would be in bad taste. It’s definitely below average.
