Music
director
and
singer
Himesh
Reshammiya
is
back
and
he
isn't
strumming
a
guitar
and
belting
out
numbers
in
his
signature
nasal
style.
This
time
around,
he
launches
big
time
into
action
star
mode
as
a
gangster
with
a
heart
of
gold.
It
is
his
gun
that
does
all
the
talking.
And
that
is
just
as
well.
Teraa
Surroor
has
neither
the
narrative
depth
nor
the
weighty
dialogue
that
can
aid
a
pedestrian
thriller
transcend
the
limits
of
the
genre.
Director:
Shawn
Arranha
Cast:
Himesh
Reshammiya,
Farah
Karimaee,
Naseeruddin
Shah,
Shekhar
Kapur,
Kabir
Bedi,
Shernaz
Patel,
Monica
Dogra
With
a
six-pack
to
go
with
his
new
screen
avatar,
Himesh
sleepwalks
through
the
role
of
a
sharpshooter
who
pulls
out
the
stops
to
free
his
sweetheart
(debutante
Farah
Karimaee)
from
jail.
The
girl
has
been
caught
with
drugs
by
the
Dublin
police
in
a
frame-up
and
the
only
way
that
she
can
escape
the
prospect
of
a
long
haul
in
legal
confinement
in
a
foreign
land
is
by
breaking
the
law.
The
unflappable
hero,
with
some
help
from
a
cynical
con
artist
named
Rabin
Dharmaraj
Santino
(Naseeruddin
Shah),
figures
out
a
way
to
mount
a
jailbreak
attempt
that
pits
him
and
his
girlfriend
against
the
Dublin
police
and
a
mysterious
gang.

The
spectacle
that
ensues
does
not
create
any
real
tension
because
from
the
very
moment
that
the
male
protagonist
vows
to
get
his
girl
out
of
prison
the
audience
knows
how
the
action
is
going
to
pan
out.
Besides
Naseeruddin
Shah,
the
cast
has
actors
like
Shekhar
Kapur,
Kabir
Bedi
and
Shernaz
Patel,
but
in
a
film
dominated
by
a
poker-faced
Himesh
Reshammiya
they
only
have
ten
minutes
each
at
best
to
pull
off
a
rescue
act.
That
is,
of
course,
far
more
difficult
than
the
20
minutes
that
the
hero
has
to
outsmart
the
Dublin
cops
before
they
city
placed
under
lockdown
and
the
escape
plan
is
thwarted.
Himesh
plays
a
character
that
remains
unfazed
even
in
the
most
trying
circumstances,
which
allows
the
actor
the
luxury
of
wearing
a
single
expression
all
through
the
film.
TOO
HOT!
Tiger
Shroff
And
Shraddha
Kapoor's
Kissing
Scene
From
Baaghi!
The
lead
actor
has
a
perfectly
matched
ally
in
Farah
Karimaee,
who
too
manages
to
go
through
the
motions
without
letting
any
tangible
emotion
flash
across
her
face.
So,
despite
the
fact
that
there
isn't
much
chemistry
between
the
two,
Himesh
and
Farah
come
across
as
a
made-for-each-other
screen
couple.
This
is
a
Himesh
Reshammiya
film,
so
there
is
no
dearth
of
songs
here,
but
not
all
of
them
are
in
the
star's
own
voice.
The
musical
numbers
only
serve
as
speed-breakers
in
a
film
that
is
anyways
rather
thin
in
terms
of
twists
and
turns.
VERDICT:
Teraa
Surroor
is
strictly
for
Himesh
Reshammiya
fans.
There
is
little
else
in
this
106-minute
film
that
might
be
worth
the
price
of
a
trip
to
the
multiplex.
