In fact, the cast of the movie then stepped up on the podium dive into the character of TMK as they tried their hands at the DTH variant of this title.

Stage one of this amusing game is ‘the bank robbery’, wherein TMK begins his career as a conman. Players have to cross three levels robbing banks by breaching the security, cracking the lock and subsequently escaping with the loot. Stage two commences with ‘the museum heist’ in which mobile gamers have to flick precious artifacts from certain renowned museums. Coming to the climax is the stage 3, ‘the great train robbery’. This stage is loaded with Bollywood action sequences as gaming enthusiasts jump from one coach to another atop a moving train. Once they reach the special compartments, players will have to break through and steal the prized cargo.
Players can experience some Bollywood style gaming in this new Tees Maar Khan title. Whilst handset owners await the release of the movie they can try their hand at a bit of robbing, duping and action-packed sequels.
