John Abraham is back with Tehran, a high-octane action thriller that doesn’t waste a second. He plays ACP Rajeev Kumar, an Indian intelligence officer who gets pulled into a dangerous game spanning Iran, Israel, and India. The stakes are massive, the enemies are shadowy, and the tension never lets up.
The movie takes inspiration from real-life events—the 2012 bomb attacks on Israeli diplomats in New Delhi, Tbilisi, and Bangkok. It mixes reality with drama, showing the world of espionage through a human lens. Rajeev is tough, smart, and relentless, and John Abraham brings a raw energy to the role. Manushi Chhillar shines as SI Divya Rana, a capable partner navigating the same treacherous terrain.
Supporting roles add depth. Neeru Bajwa plays Sheilaja, while Madhurima Tuli appears as Rajeev’s wife, bringing personal stakes to the espionage story. Even small appearances, like Elnaaz Norouzi in the song “Ishq Bukhaar,” leave a mark.
Action fans get plenty to enjoy. There are chase sequences, tense confrontations, and moments where every second counts. Yet, the movie also slows down when needed, letting viewers catch the emotional weight behind the missions. The mix keeps the story balanced—exciting but grounded.
Tehran was released directly on ZEE5 on August 14, 2025. The OTT release surprised many who expected theaters, but it allowed audiences across the country to watch it instantly.
Critics have shared mixed opinions. India Today gave it 4/5 stars, praising the action and John Abraham’s performance. Firstpost rated it 3/5, appreciating the geopolitical tension but noting some slower pacing. Bollywood Hungama gave it 2.5/5, saying the action was solid but a few characters could have had more depth.
Even with mixed reviews, the movie hits its mark in excitement and drama. If you like tense spy thrillers with twists and strong performances, Tehran is a solid watch. It’s gripping, fast-moving, and full of moments that make you sit forward in your seat.
