The story revolves around Tees Maar Khan (Ajay Devgn), a notorious thief who has been arrested multiple times but has always managed to escape. He is a clever and witty con artist who targets wealthy businessmen. Khan is aided by his trusted sidekicks, Mumtaz (Arshad Warsi) and Tania (Kareena Kapoor).
(If you want, I can add a scene-by-scene breakdown, a short review focusing on Akshay Kumar’s comic work, or a social-media-ready 150–200 word review.)
Widely praised for his hysterical, self-deprecating performance as a greedy superstar desperate for an Oscar.
: The film features cameos by Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor in musical sequences. Music and Cultural Impact
However, unlike the sincere emotional stakes of 70s cinema, Tees Maar Khan treats these emotional beats with irony. When TMK’s mother is kidnapped, or when he undergoes a moral transformation, the background score and acting style suggest a parody of 70s melodrama. The film suggests
Tabrez Mirza Khan (Akshay Kumar), a smart conman, is hired by a duo of smugglers to rob a treasure-laden train. To pull it off, he tricks an entire village and a superstar actor (Akshaye Khanna) into believing they are filming a movie called Bharat Ka Khazana Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, and Akshaye Khanna.
