Tekka

Unless the climax part. It was a hostage comedy. The climax was also somehow predictable, following a similar pattern to other movies of Srijit- "chotuskone" "baishe shrabon" etc. The pattern - 90 % of the movie will be slow, you can leave it at any point without any further interest in watching and then you would have a good climax- okay.

Rukmini never looks like a police officer, let's assume she is a "mindhunter". But the problem never seems too tough which needs a great solution.

The screenplay was inadequate in many places. For example, The security forces came out of the police van, with a great drill from outside of the building to meet inside with the police officer. SO WHY YOU NEED TO START WITH A DRILL FOR THAT?

In the first scene where dev and his child were eating together, it describe he can't afford his children's school fees. Now after the climax, this looks illogical.

Both Dev and Swastika were watching TV News during the hostage situation. I can't even imagine this unless it is a comedy.

This film depicts a cop and kidnapper chasing tale with some amazing twists.

The co-screenplay, dialogues and direction by #SrijitMukherji is brilliant. He is a bit leniant to his craft this time and his narrative style is simple and linear mostly.

The story & co-screenplay by #BhaskarChattopadhyay is engaging.

#ModhuraPalit being the cinematographer steals the show.

#PronoyDasgupta's editing is crispest to the core.

Music Director #RanajoyBhattacharjee has presented some situational chords, but none of them are worth-humming.

Costume Designer #JayantiSen & assistant costume stylist #SampurnaBasu has done a fab job, but the continuity jerk of the hairstyle of Swastika in the film with that in the poster is a concern, however it may be a director's choice. But the look in the poster seems more convincing.

As per the performances are concerned, #Dev as Iqlakh Alam (Jack) is fairly good. He has done the best as much as he could do, but the character of a janitor demands a lot of body-language which was lacking at times. #RukminiMaitra as ACP Maya Khastogir steals the show, all thanks to her groomer #SudiptaChakraborty. #SwastikaMukherjee as Ira Sengupta was good but not convincing enough in the story, as her actions were predictable enough. #ParanBandopadhyay as MLA and industrialist Anubrata Adhikari was as usual superb in his extended cameo. Baby #Aameya as Avantika was adorable. #SreejaDutta as Brishti was fairly good on-screen, #LokenathDey as Inspector Kallol Guha, #KamaleswarMukherjee as DCP Rajat Majumdar and #SujanNeelMukherjee as News Anchor/Journalist were good in their parts, #AryanBhowmik as Tintin was very spontaneous, #AnirbanBhattacharyya as the maintenance manager was good in his part. The film has some guest appearances, namely #TotaRoyChowdhury as Maya's husband Rajiv Sanyal, #KaushikSen as Altaf Alam, #SrijitMukherji as Mr. Arjun Puri and #SudeshnaRoy as Mrs. Mitali Sharma has made their presence amply felt.

Production by #DevEntertainmentVentures of #GurupadaAdhikari & Dev along with distributor #PVRInoxPictures has made an average film.

Definitely Not a Must Watch. 👍🏻

I can definitely say that Srijit Mukherji has cooked in Tekka and he probably has extracted the career best performance from Dev. Best thing was hearing Dev cussing, it was paisa wasool for that reason alone. Rukmini and Swastika were great as well. The film jumps straight into the action and maintains the pace & tempo keeping us on the edge. And that twist, I seriously wasn't expecting it dayumn. The climax was brilliant and concludes the film perfectly. There were a few massy elements ft Dev as well which was cool. And the way it tackles several social, religious and political issues without being preachy was commendable. In fact the message of communal harmony was very impactful. The film has everything to become a blockbuster this Durga Puja.

Well well well,I am shocked how bangla movie industry has improved in their production quality, cinematography and all. I started the movie movie with zero expectations but I am impressed at the end.well there was nothing new in the story and we have already watched movies on the same concept but still after interval you will somehow like the movie.i won't say it's a must watch but your can watch it once.byt the surprising thing for me was that I was watching a regional bangla movie but its standard was too good.

Movie was ok ok but the way they have picturised it for that only it deserves atleast 6star.

Hostage thrillers generally thrive on palpable intensity, which can be cultivated through a compelling and sophisticated screenwriting.

Regrettably, 'Tekka' falls short in this regard.

Pacing is lethargic and the narrative is riddled with occurrences that starkly contradict logic and rationalities. Furthermore, the underlying themes; class discrimination, communal hate interfaith marriages, corrupt politicians; all, undeniably critical, yet the execution feels heavy-handed and moralistic, lacking the emotional resonance one would hope for.

While the performances, particularly that of Dev, and the end twist provide a glimmer of redemption, they are not enough to elevate the film from the pits of mediocrity.
