One of India's most multi-talented celebrities, Himesh Reshammiya is back with his latest offering Teraa Surroor, which describes itself rather mysteriously as a "lethal love story". The film stays true to its tag line and starts with a car chase in Dublin that results in lead actress Tara (played by debutante Farah Karimaee) being arrested with drugs. During her interrogation she requests that the police call Raghu (played by Himesh Reshammiya). Watch this film only if you're a die-hard Himesh fan, a nationalist, or if you have nothing else to do on a weekend and want to test your patience.

Shekhar Kapur pops up on the screen with cliched one-liners like "I hate love stories" and "never give a bad girl a good boyfriend". Naseeruddin Shah plays a Charles Sobhraj-like character called "Santino", who is an expert in breaking out of prison, speaks perfect Hindi because "Hindustan ki jail mein seekhi" (I learnt it in an Indian jail), and wilfully stays in prison because he has nothing else to do with his life.

Director Shawn Arranha sticks to "the formula" expected of such a film. So there are foreign locations, a damsel in distress, a bullet-dodging, badass nationalist hero and a villain whose performance makes the hero's act look bearable.

The music comes as the biggest surprise since all the tracks don't seem to have been sung by Himesh. But fans won't miss the familiar shrill voice since remixed versions of songs from the previous instalment keep playing in the background.
