Looks like these days in Bollywood, multi cast movies are either in demand or every aging actor needs to appear on screen badly. Gone were the days when a single movie used to rest upon the shoulders of script writer, director and finally actor. But now movies rest upon four pillars, multiple heroes (characters to confuse audience), daredevil fight sequences, cheap comedy and a meaty yet saucy item number. That is how a movie becomes a box-office hit. A few weeks ago it was "Houseful 2" and this week there are "Tezz" and "Life Ki toh Lag Gayee" which have been released.Coming back to Tezz and the controversies associated with it. Yes, the movie is a definite copy, but not only of 1994's "Speed", actually it is an amalgamation of many others as well. Just to quote here, "Speed" was inspired / copied from a Japanese movie named The Bullet Train (Subtitled 1975) which also inspired another director to make a Thai movie named 1 2 3 Monster Express (1977). So, connect all the points and characterizations to get "TEZZ". But some critics are saying that the movie is original, I wonder why! Might be it is in Hindi or it has some songs – only on these grounds the movie can be distinguished.The movie is about handful of army consisting of Ajay Devgan, Zayed Khan and Sameera Reddy, who plan to blast a train "London Glasgow Express 112". Why? Well the reason is quite confusing, at least for me, just because one of the men was deported and sent away from his family (wife and Son) and his career vanished, he, after returning back, wants to get some ransom from the government to compensate. Strange, isn't it? The actual reason behind was, he was supporting illegal residents by providing them work. And this is not ethical! Anyways, as it is a movie and anything can happen. The movie revolves around Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgan, Zayed Khan, Boman Irani, Sameera Reddy and Kangna Ranawat. As far as the performances are concerned I must say it's a decent fare. Standing out of the stockpile is undoubtedly Boman Irani, not a single scene of his is missed by him, in doing justice to his role and impressing the audiences. I would like to mention two power-packed scenes, out of few, one in which he talks to her daughter over phone and the other one when he gets a one to one argument with Anil Kapoor, his voice, his movements and his passion are all at display. Then comes Anil Kapoor, it is a treat to watch him after Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. He excels in every scene. Anil Kapoor has star power, believe it or not, his screen presence, attitude and self-obsession makes him loved by his fans. Even his silent moments are very well executed.Ajay Devgan, after Singham, performs quite an underrated performance. Some might like his performance, but at places he appeared performing the same roles from "Khaakee" or "Qayamat". Zayed Khan has appeared after a long time and he performs well, though his role had nothing much to offer. But it was a sincere effort by him. Sameera Reddy did leave a mark in brief appearance. Kangna Ranawat, the root cause of the movie, gets few scenes to perform and she is improving to certain extent. Mohanlal (the Amitabh of South) is totally wasted in the role of a cop. If any scene will get smile to your face then it is all because of Neeraj Vora, he is natural and flawless in a small sequence with Anil Kapoor. Definitely his fans would love to see more of him in future.Direction of the movie is very impressive and so are the action sequences. The item number "Laila" performed by Mallika Sherawat offers nothing much, not for masses and not even for classes! But Sunidhi Chauhan did a great job.On the whole actors' attempt was serious and applaud able and hard-work can be witnessed in the scenes, but dialogues and other major things simply could not save it. The only few reasons for this movie to do good business include "Masala Formula" with "Angrezi Tarka", action scenes, watching Anil Kapoor after a long time and Ajay Devgan's fan following after "Singham". Logically the movie has so many flaws. If you are a movie buff who likes every single Indian movie and are inspired by Desi thrillers and "Attitude stuff" then watch it, else you can miss it too!

I hardly drag my ass out of my room to go watch a movie, especially with Hindi movies. So when I do overpower this sloth inside me and go for it, I better expect something 'wow' but sadly this was all 'Ouch'. First of all, I watched it in some shady single screen theater, so they had every English dialogue in the movie dubbed to Hindi. The movie begins with Ajay Devgan being deported back to India after the British government found out that he was an illegal immigrant and he can no longer stay with his Brit wife(kangna). Then after some 5 years he comes back to London, meets Zayed Khan, buys some c4 and plants it in a train. Now what surprised me here was, how easy all that was for them. Two Asian dudes, walking around the busiest railway station with sh*t loads of explosives and nobody checks anything. It was so weird watching the railway traffic controllers in East London panicking the f**k out in Hindi when their Indian boss(Boman Irani) breaks the news of a bomb being planted in the train, or the fact that Anil Kapoor(A badass cop) tells the British home ministry to shut the f**k up and do as he says, (all in Hindi) and he will get them the bomber. There are many dumb moments in the movie, the only thing that stood out for me was Kangana Ranaut's visibly bigger mammary glands. All in all, if you're bored, go play angry birds but don't think about watching this sad excuse for a movie.

What do you do when a country, a culture and their purveyors wrong you irreparably? You plant a bomb in a speeding train and hold the establishment to ransom.Taking a cue from Hollywood's most watched bomb-maro-bomb rush-hour excursions into plunder-land, Tezz springs forward as nicely-packaged film.Here we know Ajay Devgn is the closet terrorist. But since his fans won't like it, Devgn is, with due respect to Mira Nair, a reluctant terrorist, how reluctant, we won't reveal fully.Devgn has a back story with screen wife Kangna Ranaut, who in keeping with her character's British domicile, sports blonde hair. No, this is not a joke.Luckily, Priyadarshan's plot has a lot more going for itself than its leading lady's hair-to-stay problems. The director creates a game between 'terrorist' Devgn and cop Anil Kapoor who in true Hollywood style, is on the verge of retirement from service when duty beckons.There are enough men on duty on both sides of the law here to fill up one section of Tihar jail. The narration allows elbow-room for an army of actors laden with anxious motivations and tense expressions to match, all hurling like the speeding train towards an uncertain nemesis. Luckily, the plot finds itself a convincing finale. And we can go home feeling all is not lost for the slick action genre in Bollywood. There is hope.There are some jaw-dropping action sequences here. Some of them, like Devgn and Kapoor's fist-to-fist in the grand finale and the search for Devgn in a hospital's car park, are so expertly executed they make you forget how far Bollywood lags behind in the action genre from its firangi counterpart. But then again some of the stunts like the one where passengers from the bomb-threatened train climb into a safe train, are done clumsily.Curiously, Zayed Khan and Sameera Reddy who play Devgn's accomplices in the terror crime are given one extended chase sequence, each. They show remarkable agility in their given space. Ditto the film's technicians. Thiru S. Appan's camera looks at London with keen anticipation."He's Indian, not Pakistani," Boman confidently informs cop Anil Kapoor with a straight face.The absurdities don't swamp Tezz. True its title, the tale of a bomb and a Boman trying to diffuse the crisis, whizzes by at breakneck speed.Priyadarshan tackles what's a new genre for him, with pleasure and aplomb. Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Boman Irani, Sameera Reddy and Zayed Khan furnish a flavour of slickness to a story that holds your attention till the end.Not quite edge-of-the-seat, the thrills in Tezz are engaging enough to keep us watching.

Tezz is created by Priyadarshan who has only failed after awesome movies like Hera Pheri, Hungama De Dana Dan was his last good movie from the year 2009. Even Aakrosh wasn't that bad but it flopped. However, Tezz is an example of a third rate film and me calling it good was a big mistake. It copies so many ingredients from Hollywood films like The Taking of Pelham 123, Unstoppable, and Bullet Train. The Anil trying to hunt down Ajay track was something seen from the 90s Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty movies where Akki is chasing Sunil. But, the few good things for the movie was the chases, the 1 or 2 action sequences, and a few dialogs. However, the script lets the whole film down, Robin Bhatt is a horrible story writer. I can't believe Ajay Devgan would act in a film like this. He handles his part well, he knows how to act because even in Rascals he was the only thing that stood out. Anil Kapoor is OK, he bores when he shouts, that goes the same for Boman Irani. The heroines are stupid, no screen time for them. Only 1-2 scenes were good and the Laila song came out of nowhere which was another cliché. On the whole, Tezz is a bad film with 1 or 2 good things and several bad things. Ajay Devgan needs to choose better films, he is falling down as his last hit was Singham which was way before Rascals.
