Since she is unwell, John, cooks, dries clothes on the terrace, gives her medication, he even shops for fish.

He goes home to a wife(Mary) who is in a wheelchair. He drives a blue Chetak scooter that gives him starting trouble now and then. She patiently tells him to give up but he will not listen. He visits the police station daily in the hope of getting answers regarding his granddaughter’s kidnappers, but police inspector Sarita Sarkar has no answers. Padmavati Rao and Sabyasachi Chakrabarty slip into their characters easily, although the latter does risk going overboard at times.PLOT SYNOPSIS John Biswas (Bachchan) is a 70-year old helpless man who continues following up the case of his missing granddaughter Angela. And Balan projects the exact amount of frustration on to her character. This feisty policewoman is heading a case which seems to have no solution in sight. Vidya Balan lights up the screen with her Sarita. In his slim-fit black shirt, this bullet-riding Father Martin is hardly your average clergyman. The ever-dependable Nawazuddin Siddiqui is cast perfectly the reluctant Krishna to John's Arjun. In the droop of his shoulders, the slight slur in his speech and the noticeable gait, Amitabh Bachchan becomes John Biswas, the grandfather guilty of not being able to take care of his Angela. The primary cast gifts the film some superlative performances. The laidbackness soon gets to you, and you want to scream, 'Hurry up!' But Dasgupta takes it easy. While the narrative is crisp in parts, the story progresses at a lazy pace.

Half an hour into the film, Amitabh Bachchan is a part of your life his quest for justice, yours. Ribhu Dasgupta weaves a poignant tale in his TE3N, and peppers it with edge-of-the-seat sequences.
