Our take
Tehran follows a Delhi police investigation into a magnetic bomb on an embassy car, with spies, political pressure, and talk of killings across borders. Guns, explosions, and descriptions of torture keep the mood hard and adult. Mild to strong swearing pops up in English lines during raids and arguments. We land at 15 and up because the terrorism plot and cold talk of murder need older teens who can handle real-world dread
Uplifting themes
Teamwork under pressure and a refusal to accept an easy political story show up as the case deepens. The payoff is more moral grit than tidy uplift The lead investigator keeps chasing truth when powerful voices want quiet. Allies who share the risk feel steadier than the officials spinning the narrative
Story (may spoil tone)
On 13th February 2012, a magnetic bomb exploded, destroying an Israeli embassy vehicle in Delhi. ACP Rajeev Kumar, leading the investigation, suspects more than what meets the eye. Amid political pressure and suspicions of an Iranian connection, he embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth, facing formidable adversaries.

Guns and bombs are part of the case file, and characters describe a hammer killing and merciless torture. Injury detail on screen stays limited compared with the talk

A colleague's death hits the department, and mourning sits beside the next lead. Loss matters, but the film keeps moving through the investigation

Talk after watching
- Detectives keep digging when powerful people want the case closed. When is it right to push past pressure?
- Characters argue about who counts as a soldier and who counts as a terrorist. How do you tell those apart?
