For Sujoy Ghosh’s sequel to his 2012 hit Kahaani, which successfully captured the spirit of the city, Das took the team to Santiniketan on the outskirts of Kolkata. The depiction of Kolkata depends on “the demands of the script”, said Das, an in-demand location scout whose credits include the movies Kahaani, Bullett Raja, Te3n, Kahaani 2 and Meri Pyaari Bindu as well as television commercials.

However, a better pace could have lifted this film a notch higher. The film’s ability to maintain the suspense right till the end makes it a must-watch for those who like whodunnits.

As the jigsaw puzzle falls into place, the protagonists’ feelings towards the situation and themselves falls perfectly into place, keeping the viewers pleasantly engaged with the plot and the people. What is also impressive is that the mystery is kept alive right through. And its strength is that it never wavers from around its three principal characters - the granddad, cop and priest, each of who is involved with the case for reasons of their own. The plot starts with introducing the audience to the eight-year-old kidnapping case through a conversation between John and investigating officer Sarita (Vidya is dynamic). And that isn’t the only aspect of the film that is right. Having mastered every mannerism of a senior citizen, whether it is the mouth-agape expression or looking over the rim of his spectacles, his nuances are spot on. Bachchan, who recently bagged the National Award for his role as the cantankerous elder in Piku, is superlative. Nothing will stop him-not old age, an erratic scooter or his caregiver duties to his wheelchair-bound wife.

With dogged determination, John makes it his life’s mission to resolve his granddaughter’s abduction and murder. The disappearance of an abducted child has turned two people’s lives upside down one is that of John and the second is that of Martin (Nawaz, who is flawless as a policeman-turned-padri seeking atonement). Based on the Korean film, Montage, Te3n is a whodunnit that is simple in its intention but clever in its execution.
