Released in Indian theaters on October 26, 2012, the movie was titled टेड (Ted) in Hindi and was distributed alongside the original English version. Plot Overview
The story follows John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a lonely boy who makes a Christmas wish for his teddy bear to come to life. The wish miraculously comes true, and the two become "thunder buddies" for life.
Fast forward 30 years, and John is an adult slacker living in Boston with Ted, who has grown into a foul-mouthed, beer-drinking, and weed-smoking celebrity. The central conflict arises when John's girlfriend, Lori (Mila Kunis), grows tired of Ted's bad influence and pressures John to finally grow up and move on from his childhood toy.

The confusion arises from two sources:
1. Very "American" Humor The movie relies heavily on 1980s American pop culture. If you don't know who Tom Selleck, Sam J. Jones, or Tiffany is, some jokes might feel flat. However, the situational comedy (a bear driving a car, a bear getting into a fistfight) is universal.
2. Predictable Story At its core, the story is very standard. Guy chooses partying friend over girl, guy loses girl, guy has to win girl back. You know exactly where the story is going within the first 20 minutes.
3. Crude Humor This is not a family film. Despite being about a teddy bear, it is rated 'A' (Adults) for a reason. There is constant swearing, drug use, and sexual jokes. If you are easily offended, this will irritate you. Performance Breakdown
