Tevar has nothing new to offer!
Tevar is not bad. Thankfully, Okkadu, despite being in the formulaic zone, had a structure to itself. With Tevar debutant director Amit Sharma retains the entire structure as it, making the film less of a meaningless drag than it could have been otherwise. What also works for the movie is the wonderful chemistry between its leads, and Manoj Bajpayee, but more on that later. Arjun Kapoor is a Kabbadi player who right before a big match ends up running around with Radha played by Sonakshi, who is the love interest of a local politician. He wants to send her off safely to America while the politician will have none of it. This cat and mouse chase goes on from Agra to Hyderabad and ends up in an all is well love story climax. (more)

Tevar has that mainstream attitude.
Hell hath no fury like a politician scorned. This stands true for the better part of India where every minister is a government unto himself. So you have Mathura's minister-cum-goonda Gajender Singh (Manoj Bajpayee) wooing collegian Radhika (Sonakshi Sinha). When she rejects his marriage proposal, he vows to get the girl by hook or by crook.(more)

TEVAR is a stylised masala entertainer that'll give you enough reasons to have a good time in the cinema hall.
The film does enjoy its share of decent songs (Sajid, Wajid, Shafqat Amanat Ali and Imraan Khan) in the form of 'Main Superman', while the rest of the tracks help in taking the film forward. The item number by Shruti Haasan could have been avoided. The film's background score (Clinton Cerejo) is one of the major points that act as a driving force in the film. At the same time, one has to give due credit to the film's choreographer Remo D'souza for having brought in some wonderful dance moves. The film's dialogues (Shantanu Srivastava) are effective and leave the desired impact. The same applies to the screenplay (Amit Sharma, Shantanu Srivastava). (more)

Tevar is outdated
Apart from one song Salman Ka Fan rest of the music by Sajid - Wajid and Imran Khan is way below the mark, which only stretches the film, which ends up being two hours and forty minutes long. Sadly the year starts with a disappointing film. The good thing however is that the quality of films can only go up from here. Skip it! (more)

Sonakshi Singh, Arjun Kapoor and Manoj Bajpai kick off 2015 with a stink bomb
Directed by Amit Sharma, a well respected ad filmmaker, Tevar seems like it was made by the central character from The Human Centipede. Yet again, we have a remake of an already terrible South film. Yet again, we have a heroine who is not only proud to play a mere object, but also an embarrassment to women's empowerment in cinema. Yet again, we have a gunda mawali hero clashing with the local gunda mawali villain to whisk away the moronic woman that he even more moronically loves. Yet again, we have a barrage of eardrum-piercing, massy songs; migraine-inducing dialogue baazi; rage-rendering lapses in logic; eyeball squeezing violence and head-pummeling instances of contrived melodrama.(more)

The film needed much more than that in order to pass muster.
Arjun Kapoor is always likeable on the screen, but the rugged persona that he assumes here - a combo, in the character's own words, of Rambo, Terminator and Salman Khan - is not up his street. The I am Superman, Salman ka fan act just doesn't work for him. Sonakshi, who does pretty much what she has been doing in the kind of action-oriented films that have become her forte, is hard pressed to rise above the din. Tevar is somewhat tolerable only as long as Bajpayee is on the screen, or when Raj Babbar, as the hero's police officer-father, and Subrat Dutta, as the villain's principal henchman, are allowed to do their bit.
