Pankaj Kapoor's directorial debut - that made me have some expectations from the movie. an actor of the pedigree of Pankaj Kapoor, with his understanding of characters, would come up with something fresh and give life to a romantic saga movie - at least that was the hope. But this movie turns out to be anything but that. Its a joke - on the audience by the director and his crew. there are bizarre incidents in the movie, without continuity leaving a lot to be imagined and guessed by the audience. the dialogue's are old and boring. its like an effort is being made to give the movie a whole greater than life image when both shahid and Sonam do not fit onto such epic roles. they both cant act. period. Sonam is giggling most of the time and has this superpower of appearing near shahid out of nowhere be it in Scotland or at a snow covered mountain in Switzerland!! just because the camera pans on the shadows of people talking doesn't mean that its well shot. the leading couple not meeting and expressing their feelings for each other goes on for so long (a decade) that at some point the whole audience gives up. even serious scenes become a joke. there is hooting, cheering and booing by the crowd, in fact the song"ajjeb dastan hai yeh, kahan shuru kahan khatam" seems to be true for this movie. and can someone please explain, even after 2000, why do they not have mobile phones and email ids !!! it gets so painfully slow and melodramatic that eventually one has to get and leave and let the others be tortured. this movie is best avoided and if this is anything to go by, so are future pankaj kapoor movies. this has to be the biggest let down of the year and one of the worst movies i have seen in a long time (P.S. i haven't seen Bodyguard, Ready and the likes)

Tees Maar Khan
(2010)
The worst movie ever?
25 December 2010
I read a review somewhere warning people not to watch TMK even if they got free tickets and as I would realize later, the review was spot on.
I saw about an hour of the movie and then walked out as it was intolerable. The so called gags are not funny at all. There is oodles of overacting by all actors and full use of clichés. Having seen Main Hoon Na and OMO, I know that Farah Khan likes to make brainless masala movies, but TMK is beyond brainless. The entourage of Burger etc. that follow Akshay Kumar, the stuck to each other brothers who speak at the same time, the gay CBI officers - it is NOT funny.
What does one want from TMK - slapstick comedy - None ; humor - NONE ; great acting - NONE. I don't think Akshae Khanna will take much time to pull out his newly weaved hair when he sees this movie in a multiplex.
Watch this movie only for 2 reasons: 1. You want to compare it with the worst movie you have ever seen 2. To watch Shiela ki Jawani on a big screen
