Watch it only for Manoj Bajpai. There's nothing in the movie. Feels like you watching some 90s B grade flick!
Tevar is another remake of Telugu blockbuster 'Okkadu' starring Mahesh babu. Watch it only for Manoj Bajpai's acting, otherwise I would recommend to watch the original version instead. Arjun kapoor's acting is no way match with Mahesh, the real deal is comparing Prakash raj(villain's role in Telugu version) vs Manoj bajpai, Manoj really impressed me again with his terrific acting. Sonakshi is a big let down along with supporting actors, old formula repeated again in 2015. Most of Bollywood guys are busy with remakes of south films, trying for commercial hits rather trying something new and original. I give it 5/10.
Tevar is remake of a Okkadu a Telugu film released in 2003. Okkadu was remade into Tamil called Ghilli in 2004 and then also into Kannada a year or two later.
I have watched Ghilli and I enjoyed it. It worked because of two reasons - one Vijay who played the hero and two was Prakash Raj who played the villain. Prakash had also played villain in original as well as in Kannada remake.
However, the Hindi remake has come a decade too late. Hindi audiences have moved on from watching simple masala movies which the 80s doled out regularly. They want some thing new and different.
Unfortunately, Tevar cannot offer anything new. To make matters worse, Arjun Kapoor doesn't have the charisma need to make a mediocre movie into a watchable film. He fails miserably. Unlike the original and Tamil remake where the respective superstars donned the role, Arjun is still trying to make his impression in Bollywood.
However, if there is one reason to watch this film and thats Manoj Bajpai. This man is brilliant as the villain. He plays a ruthless man, killing people with ease and also of a crazy awe struck lover who will go any distance to make the girl fall in love with him.
Manoj had done a similar role in Road, a decade back. However, Manoj ensures that the characters are different. Check out the scenes when he 1st sees Sonakshi or when he goes to college to propose to her. Mind blowing stuff which left me in splits.
Wish Tevar was made a decade ago with Salman Khan as hero and Manoj Bajpai the villain...it would have been a rocking film.

There is nothing to say about this "2 Rs" Bollywood Romantic movie. This is a terribly poor remake of the south film 'okkadu' The Review is given below.
Good things about Tevar :- 1) The brother-sister chemistry 2) Manoj Bajpayi 3) Music
Bad things about Tevar :- 1) Sonakshi Sinha 2) Below average Acting by the leads 3) Awful Climax scenes 4) Boring Action sequences & Dialogues 5) Not a great Screenplay 6) Narration of the story is not good enough. Film gets lost at some point of time.
Review - 1.5/5
Strongly Recommended not to waste your time on this. Go and watch some brilliant films like 'PK' and 'UGLY' running on theatres currently!

Goissue ! Was that even a movie?? :( My girl insisted me to watch this in place of ugly! I shouldn't have listened her and could have not wasted my money! I thought it will be a political action comedy film... But it's Ishaqzaade all over again without the Charming Parineeti Chopra and a goon chasing them rather then their parents! Cinematography is good.. But all you will see is Taj Mahal in every scene! Sonakshi Sinha has no other work then playing Damsel in distress Or meaningless roles so this time also it's not different, Arjun's Performance is mediocre and repetitive and no need to mention Manoj Bajpayee, He is good as always! There are few scenes which makes you laugh but rest is disaster! Songs are also not ear pleaser so there is not even a single reason to watch this film... I don't go out of theater before movie finishes but today I really wanted to!! Better You miss this film and don't even watch later on TV... It's just waste, utter waste!!!
