Film: Tees Maar Khan (Bollywood)
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Akshaye Khanna, Salman Khan
Director: Farah Khan
Opening week box office collections may have been good, but this Bollywood film is a disappointment with Farah Khan at the helm.
Akshay Kumar is Tarbez Mirza Khan, a trendy conman with attitude. His girlfriend and aspiring actress Anya is played by Katrina Kaif. Akshaye Khanna is the superstar Atish Kapoor of Indian films, hankering after an Oscar.
In his quest to rob a train of its load of valuable antiques, Tarbez involves Anya and Atish, along with the villagers of Dhuliya.
Looks like director Khan got so wrapped up in her star cast that she overlooked the importance of a healthy storyline and strong execution. Instead, we have a mixture of over-the-top characters, a clichéd, unreal script, ridiculous comedy and a lack of genuine emotions. What happened to innovative choreography?
Music directors Vishal and Shekhar make a cameo appearance, but Salman need not have bothered.
A “trickster” he is in this film

, but Akshay should choose more worthy roles befitting his acting capabilities. On the other hand, Katrina still seems very uneasy about her Hindi diction even though she dominated Bollywood during 2009 and 2010. Nevertheless, Katrina sizzles in an item number in this film titled ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’.
