An out-and-out action thriller with the government unleashing a team of hard-headed mavericks led by an ex-Army Commando, who take on the onerous task of going after black money. The team goes overseas to Malaysia to bring back the black money kingpin and his wife, who have been arrested by the Malaysian police. And now starts the action-packed journey.<\/p>\n<p>With Commando 2, producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah has once again shown his penchant for action thrillers. Commando 2 has Vidyut Jamwal doing was he does best \u2013 high octane action, and pretty much fits into the one-man army roles.<\/p>\n<p>Vidyut is supported by Adah Sharma and Esha Gupta, who match up as the odd ones, with another short-fuse maverick police inspector played by Freddy Daruwala.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/movies\/new-upcoming-movies-releasing-this-week-on-friday\" target=\"_blank\">Upcoming Bollywood Movie Release<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Plot<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The director of the investigation division of the &#8216;Central Board of Direct Taxes&#8217;, Abhaya Sharma \u2013 played by Shefali Shah, gets information that Vicky Chaddha \u2013 played by Anoop Thakur Singh, the kingpin behind black money laundering and his wife Maria \u2013 played by Esha Gupta, have been held by the Malaysia Police.<\/p>\n<p>She sends in a team comprising ex-Army officer Captain Karanvir Singh Dogra \u2013 played by Vidyut Jamwal; ACP Bakhtawar \u2013 played by Freddy Daruwala; Bhavna Reddy, another short-fuse action believing cop \u2013 played by Adah Sharma, and Zafar, a cyber cell IT geek.<\/p>\n<p>The team reaches Malaysia and now begins the twists and turns of an action pot-boiler as the team faces the wily Vicky Chaddha.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Performances<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The movie is high on action and small on story. The plot is very predictable and on the usual Bollywood lines. It\u2019s a bit of an enigma that Bollywood seems to be committed to making action films that have little story and acting talent depth. That seems to be reserved for movies of other genres.<\/p>\n<p>There is absolutely no reason why Bollywood cannot come out with good action blended with an equally strong plot and dialogues. Commando 2 will be fine for a single visit for action lovers who seek little else. All other classes of moviegoers can safely give this movie a miss.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Vidyut Jamwal does fill justice to action. The movie is Jamwal&#8217;s all the way with Adah Sharma and Esha Gupta just filling in to support him. Freddy Daruwala as ACP Bakhtawar does his best, but in the absence of meaty dialogue, or storyline, he remains in Vidyut\u2019s shadow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Commando 2 Music<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The movie has seven songs with one song <em>Tere Dil Mein<\/em> in original and club mix, while <em>Seedha Sadha<\/em> comes in original and a reprise version. The tile track, <em>Commando<\/em> also has an English version.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hare Krishna Hare Ram<\/em> has a nice foot tapping beat to it and will find its way on dance floors, while <em>Tere Dil Mein<\/em> is a love song that has been beautifully picturised.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details of Songs in the Movie Commando<em> 2<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Hare Krishna Hare Ram <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Singer(s): Armaan Malik, Raftaar, Ritika<\/li>\n<li>Song duration: 3:28 min<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Commando (Title Track)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Singer(s): Aditi Sigh Sharma<\/li>\n<li>Song duration: 2:58 min<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Tere Dil Mein <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Singer(s): Armaan Malik<\/li>\n<li>Song duration: 3:38 min<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Tere Dil Mein (Club mix)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Singer(s): Armaan Malik<\/li>\n<li>Song duration: 3:38 min<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Seedha Saadha<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Singer(s): Amit Mishra<\/li>\n<li>Song duration: 2:58 min<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Seedha Saadha (Reprise version)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Singer(s): Jubin Nautiyal<\/li>\n<li>Song duration: 2:58 min<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Commando (English)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Singer(s): Aditi Singh Sharma<\/li>\n<li>Song duration: 3: min<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Good?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The action sequences and the locations, both stand out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Bad?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lack of intrigue, suspense and storyline, besides very average dialogue.
