Of course, we know of his many wonderful performances as a singer but he excels as a music producer, director and composer as well. The fabulous Clinton Cerejo was brought in to bring the music of the film’s story to life. TE3N is the emotionally explosive journey of these three people, who find their fates intertwined in their quest for justice and redemption. Also involved is Vidya Balan as Sarita Sarkar, the cop who swings into action when an identical crime is repeated eight years later. It also tells the tale of Nawazuddin Siddiqui, a former cop turned priest, Father Martin Das, whose life was changed forever by the same crime that claimed the life of John’s granddaughter.

Directed by Ribhu Dasgupta, TE3N sees Amitabh Bachchan playing John Biswas, a grandfather on the relentless pursuit of justice for eight years. It’s a rare contemporary item to have licensed its sleuths to pursue their leads through Google, rather than the now-standard “FastFindz” or “Netlook”.Starring the incredible cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, TE3N is set to hit theaters on June 10th. A touch tentative – the work of an industry straining to mature in line with its audience’s tastes – but creditably committed to a new realism. The pulse quickens with a mid-film ransom drop, and skilled playing shepherds us through the twisty second hour. Yet Dasgupta’s playing a reasonably intricate long game.

The first half proceeds at such a crawl, even the songs sound like somebody’s last gasp. We’re watching Bollywood respond to grimtertainments such as True Detective – hence director Ribhu Dasgupta’s lugubrious, lights-off aesthetic – while wondering whether Te3n (pronounced “theen”) has taken on too much baggage. R iffing, Se7en-like, on the Hindi word for three, this remake of 2013’s Korean thriller Montage splices together a disparate trio hunting a long-gone girl: grieving grandfather Amitabh Bachchan, guilt-racked priest Nawazuddin Siddiqui, no-nonsense cop Vidya Balan.
