TE3N first day box office collection of Rs 2.61 crores in India fails to impress

TE3N was a much awaited movie starring Big B who had driven a scooter in the streets of Kolkata for the movie, as a part of the script. It had brought together the Shahenshah of Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vidya Balan. But, its first day collection has failed to impress.
It was released over 1169 screens across India and 373 screens overseas and has minted Rs 2.61 cr at the Indian box office while, in the international market, it has managed to collect Rs 1.90 cr on the first day of its release.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 2 June 2016.

As one filmcritic has put it - the treatment of both place and characters appear to turn everything lackadaisical. In its attempt to be less ‘dark’, loud background music is added in at each step. The plot has too much fuzz, and the characters are all surface. The droopy facial lines of the Big B, Vidya Balan’s stolid-cop-stomping fail to go deep into the characters.
Questions arise of why her full-fledged actis labeled as a guest appearance. That mystery remains unresolved. The only saving grace seems to be Nawaz’s guilt-ridden priest who tries to break free once in a while, and a few red herrings infuse some intrigue towards the end.
