PERFORMANCES: TE3N boasts of three powerhouse performers in the form of Amitabh Bachchan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vidya Balan. Besides being proficient as ever, Amitabh Bachchan is totally 'in his character' and in top form. Nawazuddin Siddiqui comes a close second with his cop-turned-father act, but lands up being underutilized.Vidya in her extended cameo does land up doing a decent job.Her voice modulations are pitch perfect and she displays an intelligence that's rare on screen.This time Sabyasachi has failed to impress.

MUSIC: Composed by Clinton Cerejo.Music is not at all impressive & feel like it is used forcibly.

Very good plot,well directed.cinematography & editing are very good.Kolkata has been projected beautifully.

Overall,Te3n is well made thriller & it is must watch.It catches you by the neck and keeps you engrossed till the end credits. Amitabh’s superlative form is just one of the incentives to watch it.

N.B: Please do not compare this film with 'Kahaani'.Though both the movies have some common elements but 2 films are completely different with each other.
