Teraa suroor Review

I was into a big gamble by taking a risk of watching Teraa Surroor knowing very well that I could be in for a bitter movie watching experience. My assumption didn't go wrong and was spot on. Teraa Surroor, a sequel to Aap Kaa Suroor turns out to be a damp squib.
Here is a film that will test the patience level to the maximum. Lacklustre performances, poor screenplay that has a number of silly scenes to its credit, bad story along with below average and ineffective dialogues make the film a movie to forget even before one gets out of the cinema halls.
So that sums up the ordeal that I had watching this torturous stuff made with the sole intention of giving its hero maximum screen presence to improve his acting which sadly do not happen at all.
Bulk of the story happens in Dublin and Ireland where Tara is held captive by Police for drug peddling. Her boyfriend Reghu lands up in Dublin to get her out of jail and also to find out the person who trapped his girl.
Putting straight across, Teraa Surroor is a film that has gone totally wrong on every department except a very few areas. Songs is one of those area that has positives along with the background score and credit for both these aspects goes to Himesh Reshammiya.
Cinematography is another aspect that plays a successful part in the film. On a lighter note one could definitely say the running time at one hour and forty minutes or so is a bonus for the audience in escaping from a lengthy torture.
Dialogue department is in total mess and some of the oneliners were too hilarious while the intention of the situation would be to convey something serious in the film. That patriotic scene involving our hero, an Irish man and a few Indians supporting our hero in a gaming hub for shooting was a laugh riot and failed to create any impact.
Now to the performances. Himesh Reshammiya right from the beginning till the very end spots a single expression on his face. He has miles to go to be called an actor. Its better he do what he does best. Yes music is his forte and so far he has done a neat attempt and I have no hesitation in saying that I am a big fan of Himesh Reshammiya as a composer and also a singer. So it would be wise if he concentrate on the music side.
Farah Karimaee is the female lead enacting the role of Tara. I would say she played a perfect foil to Himesh with her emotionless acting demo. Sad to see veteran actors like Nazurudeen Shah, Shekhar Kapur and Kabir Bedi casted on the supporting side but even they could not do anything to save Teraa Surroor from sinking.
Overall, its a waste of time and money if one is to venture into cinema halls to watch this film which is a classic case for aspiring film makers on how to NOT make a film like this. I go with a very very generous one and a half out of five for Teraa Surroor solely for its soulful and lively music though it has borrowed tunes at times from its prequel.
Rating - 1.5 / 5
