The official teaser for ‘Tekka’ is out now. It is without any doubt one of the most anticipated titles from the Bengali film industry now and is so drenched with controversy already.
‘Tekka’ is written and directed by Srijit Mukherjee and stars Dev in the lead role. There are actors like Rukmini Moitra, Swastika Mukherjee, Arian, Paran Bandyopadhyay etc in important roles.
Tekka will be a kidnap thriller and the teaser is quite breathtaking. Dev and other actors look convincing and it seems that the movie has been executed well. Dev plays the role of a kidnapper where he abducts a little school girl from a school and takes shelter in a highrise. Soon the police and intelligence officers come along and try to negotiate and the politicians get involved as well. From the teaser it looks like the movie will have a ‘Madaari’ or ‘A Wednesday’ vibe to it, where we come up believing that this is the bad guy but end up rooting for them when we know their intent or backstory.
Tekka is having its theatrical release on the 8th of October. While it has huge chances of success because of the Puja vacation and festive mood, there is a risk too. Dev, the lead, has been subjected to protests because of his political inclinations very recently. There might even be a demand for boycotting this film. But the actor has a solid fan base and the collaboration between him and Srijit Mukherjee is one of huge hype.
