TL;DR:The new ZEE5 film Tehran drops us into a wild, unsanctioned India-Iran-Israel thriller! John Abraham’s rogue cop Rajeev jumps into a geopolitical mess—showing off “Rambo-style” heroics and fantasy diplomacy. It’s intense, fast-paced and feels more like an action game than realistic geopolitics. But in these violent times, we gotta ask—is fantasy justice what the working classes need, or just another macho distraction?
The News Story (conversational, grade-5 level, Indian English with emojis & hashtags):
Yo, youth gang! ✌️ Season’s freshest spy-action, Tehran, just dropped on ZEE5 on 14 August 2025—Independence Day vibes! 🇮🇳✨
So here’s the scoop — ACP Rajeev (John Abraham) is described as “insane” and a “loose cannon.” He decides to go all sneaky on the Iran-Israel conflict—WITHOUT permission! He’s joined by a RAW officer Sheilaja (Neeru Bajwa), SI Divya (Manushi Chhillar) and Vijay (Dinker Sharma) on this wild covert mission.
But hold on—it’s NOT just cool espionage. The film is packed with chunks of Farsi dialogue, trying to look “authentic” 🌏, but honestly it plays out like a fantasy video game. Big explosions, cheesy diplomacy, and Rajeev acting like he’s on a rogue rampage!
Plot twist: while Rajeev is doing his vengeful drama, both India and Iran are furious ’cause this could wreck a gas deal between them. Meanwhile, Mossad (that’s Israel’s spy agency) sees Rajeev as unexpectedly useful and helps him—talk about moral gray zones!
Inspo from reality? The film says it’s based on some real events—like 2012 attacks on Israeli diplomats—but it’s clearly dramatized for thrills.
No filter here: amidst real war, genocide and innocent suffering—this kind of “kill-em-all” hero fantasy doesn’t land well. Rajeev's drama feels tone-deaf when actual lives are on the line—especially with today’s Israel-Iran tensions, Gaza crisis and global unrest.
John Abraham delivers ferocious energy—like his Batla House days—but it’s all muscle, not much soul. Supports like Alyy Khan and Qaushik Mukherjee stick to bureaucratic reality, giving the film some grounding.
MediaFx Opinion (people’s perspective twist):
From the ground, this movie looks like macho fantasy policing—one man fixing broken diplomacy with guns and guts. But we feel the real world ain’t like that. The working people know it’s not about lone-wolf heroics—it’s about solidarity, peace, and dialogue, not violence disguised as patriotism. Let’s hear from the youth—do you want more peace-based stories, not endless action scenes? ❤️✌️
