A new concept
Review of Tehran
A good storyline riding on a slightly bumpy screenplay - but the concept and vision of the movie are fresh.
So far, we've mostly seen Indian heroes fighting Pakistan, China, or sometimes LTTE. This one brings a new flavor, and I give the makers 100/100 for the idea alone.
John Abraham breathes life into characters like this. Personally, I feel it would have been even better if he were a RAW agent - maybe a rogue one - avenging a killing close to his heart, rather than a Delhi Police officer. But whatever the case, he justified his role. As the hero of the film, some "above-normal" feats are expected and accepted.
Madhurima Tuli was perfect as a spy's wife. Ma'am, we are waiting to see you as Rekha ji in her biography - you'd be a natural fit.
Hadi Khanjanpour delivered a solid performance as Afshar. Being an Iranian playing an Iranian role, he felt natural and authentic - clearly a gifted actor.
Neeru Bajwa was good, as was Manushi.
One note to the makers - we loved Baby the most in recent times because everyone survived. We understand this is fiction, and sometimes, at the end, we just want a smile on our faces. Please, stop sacrificing our beautiful actors in the name of intensity (half-joking, but half-serious).
Overall, I liked Tehran in bits and parts. I'll give it 5 out of 10, but to John, a well-deserved 11 out of 10.
