8x10 Tasveer, movie review

The film is an exciting tale around a person Jai Puri (Akshay Kumar) who is naturally gifted with psychotic powers to peep inside people's past gazing through their photograph for a minute. But this power is very risky as it can even take his life after that dreadful minute. 8x10 Tasveer movie review...
