Tehran

The movie has wonderful making even comparable to an Hollywood action flick. The actors did justice to their roles as well. But having the movie named Tahran and shooting the action scenes in an blantantly visible English speaking country ruins the authenticity of the movie. Should have been at least shot in an Arabic or Persian speaking region.

This beautifully crafted thriller-arguably fitting right into the spy-thriller genre-is based on true events, and I'm genuinely shocked it never saw a theatrical release. From start to finish, it's a cut above for its impeccable cinematography, hauntingly effective music, immersive background score, authentic language use, and above all, the sheer brilliance of its performances.

Frankly, I would take this any day over WAR or any over-the-top YRF "spy universe" spectacle. This film's storytelling is grounded, its tension masterfully built, and its realism makes it far more gripping than the formulaic blockbusters we often get.

It truly deserved the grandeur and audience reach that only a theatrical release can offer. I can't understand why Maddock Films stayed away from giving it that platform-it's a missed opportunity for cinema lovers everywhere.

It feels like Jack Ryan made in India.

Good Storyline but direction, execution and cinematography of some shots could be better.

Good Action but sometimes the aura of action gets ruined because of the unmatchable BGM. Decent one time watch.

John Abraham done a great job from his side but the men behind Direction, Cinematography, Editing needs more training.

The film's strength lies in how it keeps you guessing about everyone's motives. RK's mission seems straightforward until layer after layer of political betrayal unravels. The shift from India's support to abandonment is a gut punch, and it forces the audience to consider the expendability of individuals in international diplomacy. Tehran's streets are depicted as both beautiful and dangerous, almost like a character of their own, shaping RK's every move. This constant tension between environment and mission makes the film unforgettable.

I found Tehran compelling because it doesn't paint its protagonist as a flawless hero. RK makes mistakes, second-guesses himself, and yet keeps pushing forward. The way the 2012 Delhi bombing threads into the narrative gives the story a grounded, almost documentary-like weight. The political betrayal adds a personal tragedy that makes his determination to expose the truth even more admirable. By the end, you're not just watching a spy story you're watching one man's fight to reclaim his dignity and voice.
