Tees Maar Khan

Farah Khan (FK) seems to have lost her bearings with this one. Being fun loving and irreverent is one thing, but making a movie full of PJs is really pushing it! Akshay Kumar's brand of comedy seems completely out of sync with Farah's brand of humor and the result is a disaster only made tolerable if you are salivating over Katrina Kaif grooving to 'Sheila Ki Jawani' or seeing Akshay and Salman dance together. The script is pretty nonsensical and a stretch even by outrageous plot standards (a conman making a fake movie and convincing a big Bollywood star that it will win an Oscar? Seriously, give me a break!!) and the jokes are pretty weak all through. Tees Maar Khan, for lack of a worser word, is utter trash!

I thought this movie was incredibly hilarious. The makers tried to introduce a different type of humor thats more commonly found in western films. Maybe the Indian audience is not able to relate to it, and thats ok.

If you like movies such Zoolander, Ace Ventura, sausage party, give this one a shot and you might like this as I did too!

TEES MAAR KHAN Bollywood is replete with examples of fetishes of film makers who closely associate these fetishes with the success of their films. The earliest example is that of film maker J Omprakash who always wanted his movie titles to begin with A; and in recent times we have the example of Karan Johar, who has a similar fetish with the letter K. Farah Khan, who began her career as a choreographer and quickly moved into the shoes of another Khan choreographer (Saroj Khan) quickly won a lot of acclaim for her work and then decided to expand her role to include film direction. Having got the box-office ringing with her first two ventures, MAIN HOON NA and OM SHANTI OM (both of which had Shah Rukh Khan playing the lead), she perhaps concluded that since both the films had three words, three is a lucky number for her. So soon after the success of the first two movies, she gave birth to triplets and her husband, an electronics engineer, Shirish Kunder and she floated a production house called Three's Company! She also perhaps knew that the presence of Shah Rukh Khan in the first two movies was a big factor for the success of those movies, but because she was not having him in her next movie (I will not go into the reasons for that here), she felt that the word KHAN appearing in the title would help. When she was finding it difficult to combine the word KHAN with her fetish for "TEEN" to get the title of her new movie, I presume a well-wisher perhaps told her that using a multiplication factor of ten would triple the chances of the movie's success; thus the word "TEES" came into the title. The choice of the third word was relatively easy, since the phrase TEES MAAR KHAN connoted a braggart and which was in tune with the character of the script itself. The next exercise was to find an inspiration for this tale and happily for her, that was also a three worded Peter Sellers starrer: AFTER THE FOX. Also, perhaps other well wishers suggested to her that she must have as many Ks as was possible in the film crew and therefore had her husband Kunder work for the background music, write(?) the story, co-produce and write some of the lyrics. The star cast also had a number of Ks: AKshay Kumar, AKshaye Khanna, Katrina Kaif, Sachin KhedeKar and special artistes like Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor! Now about the movie itself. Claiming to be a parody, it turns out to be a rather inane effort. Several scenes of the movie looked utterly pedestrian both in conception and execution and the only saving grace is the performance of Akshaye Khanna in the role of an Oscar hungry actor. Of course, the review will not be complete without the mention of the much touted Sheela Ki Jawaani number by Katrina Kaif; but Katrina with her innocent looks doesn't ooze with oomph despite the raunchy lyrics and the dance movements. I would rate Munni Badnaam from Dabangg (also choreographed by Farah) as a better song although the joke which I heard when I was coming out from the theatre was: Agar Sheela Ki Jawaani Pehle Aati, to Munni Badnaam Na Hoti!

Just watch "After the Fox (aka Caccia alla volpe released in 1966 US n UK)" it's totally copied from that and therefore no need to say about the movie, more frankly; script needs a super computer to understand and then let others understand that what was happening in it, I live in Mumbai and I admire Akshay Kumar a lot, n believe me this TMK "Sucks"; only stars can't make good movie u need a "script" and here it's all messy, farah should love her husband but don't pamper him by making a bogus movie on his stupid script, this movie is worthless 4 those who have brain and completely made for zombies (brainless), katrina is beautiful but she failed here so as farah's nonsense direction, so don't misguide people because it's their hard earned money and should not be get fooled.... have a great life cya...... advice to farah plz don't direct movies u r making us (indians) look like a fool in front of the international cinema, akshay plz read script b4 u sign anything, katrina u need serious acting lessons don't b a dumb, and to writers plz get a life and stop copying movies from Hollywood, don't ruin Indian cinema... TMK is just awful and a great shame in terms of cinema

What kind of a film is this? There is no story whatsoever, not one joke is funny and everyone screams, screams, screams and screams in the film till you want to kill yourself in frustration.

All the jokes in the film are in poor taste and just about everyone is made fun of. This is the kind of film that makes you wonder whether the writers of the film have any common sense or rather, does this film have any writer in the first place.

The only saving grace is Akshaye Khanna who is in form and performs well as the Oscar-hungry actor.

It seems as if Akshay Kumar wants to end his film career by choosing to do films such as this and his string of pathetic films in the past 2 years.

Director Farah Khan has shown a lot of promise in her first 2 films and must write scripts herself instead of entrusting this responsibility to others.

Shiela Ki Jawani has been superbly choreographed and the end credits are in trademark Farah Khan style.

But are you ready to endure two hours of torture for 10 minutes of fun? Trust me, it's not worth it.

A nonsensical, idiotic, lame and senseless film. Avoid it at all costs.
