TEENZ is an adventure thriller written and directed by R.Partheeban and produced by Caldwell Velnambi.
Partheeban is known for his groundbreaking plots and ideas that he conceives and translates into movies, while some have worked, some have fallen flat. Unfortunately this film could easily be his most lame affair. A few minutes into the film and the film wears the viewer out with a constant smattering of dialogues that hardly make any impact. When the action actually begins it feels much more dumb as Partheeban attempts at something he has never done before. The staging is bland and dry, despite the kids performing admirably the screenplay smacks of nothing interesting or engaging. The second half where Partheeban makes his entry and tries to explain the science behind the film does not work. At just over 2 hours the film still feels undul long with no action for any brief period.
Partheeban is OK. The kids do a very good job with a lot of work to do.
Cinematography is unexciting. D Imam saves the film throughout the duration. Dialogues are average. Editing could have been sharp and direction is unimpressive.
TEENZ makes a very tiny impression !!
TEENZ – THINDATAM !!
