It opens in Agra where Pintoo (Arjun Kapoor) is shown as a young master of Kabbadi who is taking part in a big tournament. However, before he could proceed his life takes a turn when he accidentally bashes Ganjender Singh (Manoj Bajpayee) who forcefully was on his verge to take Radhika (Sonakshi Sinha) away.

Ganjender Singh is a local politician and is smitten by Radhika’s beauty so much that he wishes to marry her, it doesn’t matter if she agrees or not. But when Pintoo gets involved in the mess, he goes on to guard Radhika and brings her to his hometown in Hyderabad. Here Pintoo decides to send her abroad but things get complicated when Radhika falls for him.

Moreover, Pintoo’s dad is a police officer and has got the responsibility to find Radhika. So, what’s next? Will Gajender find his muse? Or will Pintoo be accomplished in his task of sending Radhika abroad? Or will Pintoo and Radhika fall in love? Find it all in the film.

The story might give you a sense of déjà vu but it differs from other Bollywood masala entertainers.

It is a ‘paisa vasool’ film and debutant director Amit Ravindernath Sharma, who has mostly made commercial ads has a good grip on movie’s screenplay.

He cleverly builds the local political stage, which is well utilized by efficient Bajpayee, the master in excelling such characters. There is an expected humour, which is served throughout while the required intensity too finds a better place in this love battle between Manoj and Arjun.

And while the action parts between this one-man army called Pintoo and Gajender are provoking, the romance between the Pintoo and Radhika is beautiful and tempting. Not that, which we have witnessed in Sonakshi’s most of the masala flicks before but somewhat like her cherished ‘Lootera’.

And what a performance this trio presents before us? Arjun Kapoor nails it with his Pintoo performance. He shows the ‘Tevar’ required for his character and impresses us all.

Sonakshi Sinha is calm and composed in her act, which her character demands from her. And yes this is the one masala flick, which could be termed better than many of her last flicks.

Manoj Bajpayee once again does a commendable job. He shows the cunningness and desperation that of a crazy lover.

Music by Sajid-Wajid and Imraan Khan is brilliant. Songs such as ‘Superman,’ ‘Let’s celebrate’ are already topping the charts. Background score by Clinton Cerejo accompanies the scene well.

All in all Tevar is a well executed masala flick minus any Bollwood’s cliché elements. This over 140-minutes drama won’t disappoint you.

Movie Rating:- 3/5
