Plot
editThe film begins with the murder of two Indian origin men in Ireland being killed by a masked man. The story then shifts to Tara Wadia, a singer and the girlfriend of a businessman-cum-gangster Raghu, who lives with her mother. Raghu, it is revealed, is under suspicion from the legal system.
One day, Raghu confesses to Tara that he had spent a night with a prostitute unintentionally. Disappointed, Tara breaks up with him and decides to leave for Ireland, despite her mother trying to convince her of Raghu's goodwill. However, the moment she lands in Dublin, she gets detained after being caught with drugs. Tara calls Raghu for help. Now he must help her and find Anirudh Brahman, the stranger who befriended Tara on Facebook and invited her to Ireland.
Raghu hires a lawyer, Elle Jordan, to rescue Tara and tries to get her bailed out, but the plea is rejected by the judiciary. Fearing a supposedly insurmountable life sentence, Raghu decides to help Tara, during which time, it is revealed that in childhood, he used to work for a gangster, Aurangzeb, who was badly wanted by the law, simply because Aurangzeb had held his mother a slave and she was in need of an operation, for which Raghu wanted money. A man named Anthony, instead, promised to give money for his mother's operation, and Raghu was trained in using a pistol to shoot Aurangzeb. When he proceeded with the task, he initially hesitated to shoot the gangster, but when Aurangzeb insulted his mother, Raghu shot him multiple times without a second thought.
Raghu consults Robin Dharamraj Santino, an infamous convict who has escaped 14 times from prison. Robin says that he would charge him 20 mins each to help him, and Raghu agrees. Robin briefs him all plans and procedures and warns him that he must get Tara out of jail just within 20 minutes before the entire city would lock down by an automatic system. Succeeding in helping Tara escape, Raghu stays back to fight the cops and buy her time.
After a successful escape, Raghu reconciles with Tara after revealing to her that his act of sleeping with the prostitute was actually part of a plan, and that he is actually an undercover assassin who has previously killed many criminals on behalf of Commissioner Afzal A. Khan. Seconds later, he is informed of Anirudh Brahman's location, and upon reaching there, is shocked to find Haider, Tara's close friend and associate, who confesses that he wanted to trap Raghu out of revenge for having killed Aurangzeb, who, it turns out, was his father. Raghu kills him and reunites with Tara. After being freed from prison, Tara reunited with her mother, along with Raghu, in her home.

The film mostly gained negative reviews in the critics.[35]
Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express said that Himesh Reshammiya's film is a mess. She also said: "The focus stays firmly on Himesh, who remains blank-faced through it all, never cracking a single smile, not even when he is with his girl. All in tons of slo mo, alternating with dizzying camera angles. All drowned in loud background music". Gupta rated the film with a half star.[36]
Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV Movies said: "Teraa Surroor dives deep into a sea of mothballed ideas. No wonders the exercise yields no pearls". He rated the film 1.5 out of 5.[37]
BollywoodLife.com rated 3 out of 5. He said: "Teraa Surroor delivers as a true Himesh Reshammiya film. It is a typical masala entertainer with some great music. If you liked Aap Kaa Surroor, then Teraa Surroor definitely won't disappoint."[38]
Surabhi Redkar of koimoi.com said: "Watching Himesh Reshammiya try to act like an enticing hero wooing ladies and making the worst of face ever!" He gave 1 star out of five.[39]
