Tees Maar Khan (2010)

Don't worry I don't intend to dish out spoilers, giving away the synopsis or plot or even a hint on the story line. The movie opens with Sanjay Dutt narrating the hind sight into the protagonist's current state of affairs. I was wondering why Sanjay Dutt's voice was chosen, my roommate was kind enough to educate me on this choice. To start with Sanjay Dutt's voice is kind of synonymous with the comical negative character (read gangster, thief ...), attributed to the fame of Munna of Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. The start to the movie though does not leave a bad taste in the mouth, is not what a comedy flick should begin with.

The movie lacks a theme or story line that would inherently support the intended comedy. For most part of the movie it seemed that the actors are trying in desperation to make the audience laugh. For example, a meeting of top cops of Mumbai chaired by the commissioner discusses the possibility (or a lack) of ancient treasures getting stolen. Gibberish is introduced in the form of a participant interrupting the speaker every few seconds. These puns cry for a few laughs at best, and in time become annoying.

Akshay Kumar seems to have made a resolve to sink deeper with every new comedy flick; TMK adds value to that resolve. With such frivolous plot, the burden of carrying the movie rested solely on the shoulders of the actors, and they have done a fine job of letting that slip. Katrina Kaif with little or no role in the plot was intentionally brought in for her dancing prowess. I would suggest she take more dance classes before venturing this path again. Moving on to Akshaye Kanna, I'm not sure as to the link between his role and comical intent of the movie. His claim of donning a guest role in this movie is weak, he is present on screen through most of second half. This movie probably will do more damage to his acting career than fix it. The background scores and the songs are definitely not worth mentioning, half the numbers are remixes thus taking away the need for remix artists and DJs. None of the songs are worth humming, even the sticky "Sheila ki Jawani" with its bad hinglish lyrics. The movie sports an occasional burst of a kid shouting "Tees Maar Khan", ruining the few laughs for your money.

TMK is bad rip from a 1966 movie "After the fox", which was a fun movie with character. TMK's story line is like evoking laughter by beating below the belt. The script fails to build the lead actor's character and hence does not muster any sort of harmony from the audience; it fails to evoke any kind of sympathy for the lead role as the story line jumps from comical to scary and to serious. The transitions, being abrupt keep the audience guessing the genre of the movie through its length.

Half way through the movie the story line, actors, guest actors completely lose direction and wander in different direction. Some sequences either have no bearing on the movie or lack the chaining required in storytelling. The director seems to have lost the purpose when it crosses the half way mark. Many of the obvious realities have been over looked or abandoned to make room for mindless comedy which by the ways fails to make people laugh.

A few takeaways from the movie, There are many ways to make the audience laugh; this probably is the worst way. Now that the benchmark for the worst, other would only need to just do incrementally better. This movie is a must watch to expand your scales for rating movies. I have expended time and money

Fmovies: Just watch "After the Fox (aka Caccia alla volpe released in 1966 US n UK)" it's totally copied from that and therefore no need to say about the movie, more frankly; script needs a super computer to understand and then let others understand that what was happening in it, I live in Mumbai and I admire Akshay Kumar a lot, n believe me this TMK "Sucks"; only stars can't make good movie u need a "script" and here it's all messy, farah should love her husband but don't pamper him by making a bogus movie on his stupid script, this movie is worthless 4 those who have brain and completely made for zombies (brainless), katrina is beautiful but she failed here so as farah's nonsense direction, so don't misguide people because it's their hard earned money and should not be get fooled.... have a great life cya...... advice to farah plz don't direct movies u r making us (indians) look like a fool in front of the international cinema, akshay plz read script b4 u sign anything, katrina u need serious acting lessons don't b a dumb, and to writers plz get a life and stop copying movies from Hollywood, don't ruin Indian cinema... TMK is just awful and a great shame in terms of cinema

I tried to see this movie last night with my wife in a multiplex called PVR Cinemas.

I divested Rs. 540/- as ticket charges on the movie. One by one i was getting signals from nature not to see the movie. Like first i did not get enough time to get my favorite sub at Subway, but i thought i'll buy nachos inside PVR. Even inside i didn't get nachos, on top of that i also did not get the sandwich inside PVR. I ignored all these bad signs and went ahead to see this AWFUL, CREEPY, MINDLESS movie.

Akshay kumar once knew acting, he may know it now also but the great director Farah Khan is utilizing all her resources to bring the man (Akshay) down by using cheapest of cheapest PJ's in the movie. I wonder who write these, moreover who approves these... Once upon a time she also made a movie known as "Main Hoon Na" which i liked to some extent as it is a light hearted movie, but TMK is not something i expected.

I still like akshay as a hero/actor, he has done so many good movies.I beg him not to do movie like these, plz plz plz.

Believe me friends you can laugh at least 100000000000 times more by just watching 1 performance of any character in Comedy Circus.( i don't know how many zeor's i added here because of frustration) Please avoid this movie to save yourself from heart attack.

Last night i have vowed not to see any forthcoming Farah khan's movie unless and until i get at least 100 out of 100 good reviews.

I think this is a scam by which Hindi film industry is trying to make films which ppl will leave before ending (like i got 15 minutes after the interval) and they still have to pay money for the full movie.

Tees Maar Khan fmovies. Right from the first scene till the end scene the viewers will ask question to themselves what is going on.plain jokes and it looks like the actors were told to deliver the dialogues by themselves as the director couldn't get the dialog writer. plain jokes, over acting over the top performance from each and every actor even the most serious natural and sober actors like akshaye, sudhir and anjan did over acting in this movie. songs boring, no action scenes. no problem, G3 and phir hera pheri which even AK didn't liked were far better movie and entertaining than TMS. why AK backed this project as producer and why farah khan is continuing movies after the crap MHN and OSO.she will never ever become manmohan desai.even her brother should stop making movies.

Advice: don't waste your money and time

rating 0.5 out of 10

Watching Tees Maar Khan was an underwhelming experience. I went in to this movie with mixed expectations. I had high expectations based on Farah Khan's previous efforts - "Main Hoon Naa" and "Om Shanti Om". At the same time I was not fascinated with Shirish Kunder's "Jaan-E-Mann" but this movie is even worse.

I was so stupid that i thought this Comedy would be better than the other comedies that were out this year, but i was so wrong once again. Bollywood movies are so much disappointing me, like never before. what is happening. i am so stupid i expected a good movie from the great Farah Khan. the music already wasn't much impressive, considering Vishal Shekar's other 3 movies.

Story was very much weak and completely annoying. screenplay was weak. nothing great about this movie anything. disappointing. silly bad movie.

This wasn't a movie it was "the change" in passive sense.it was a bloody slap on the face of Indian cinema entertainment.nothing was of sense ,cant be categorized under any category.was it done just for money making by taking big stars and releasing on Christmas. May god Save the Indian cinema from the bad effects of upcoming nonsense movies Like this. Never watch this movie .... Few stupid things to be noticed: -- -poor jokes, poorly executed action sequences –dialogues full of overacting. –good actors were not able to show their talents due to bad direction and poor script. –promotion was done as if a blockbuster movie was going to be released.

A strict law should be made to check the movie's quality before its release, because its just like robbing viewers pocket in a gentle way ..
