Amit Ravindernath Sharma’s film ‘Tevar’ has generating a lot of buzz. A remake of the 2003 hit Telugu film ‘Okkadu’ starring Mahesh Babu, ‘Tevar’ features Arjun Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Manoj Bajpayee in lead roles.
The story is A corrupt politician gets infatuated with a morally upright student and will go to any lengths to marry her. But she spurns his advances and seeks shelter with a boy her age.
Manoj Bajpayee, chewing on scenery as if Prakash Jha hasn’t made a movie in months, does however make for an entertaining villain, at least at the start.Unfortunately, all we have is Sonakshi Sinha, reacting to things with a stunning, all-encompassing blankness.Other decent actors are short-shifted.Raj Babbar isn’t bad as the gruff cop, but the legendary Deepti Naval gets no role, just like the reliably excellent Rajesh Sharma.Shruti Haasan did an item song and looks scorching hot.
