Commando 3 kicks off with the Mumbai police arresting three youngsters, badly brainwashed by a masked radical, who delivers speeches through videos. After their fake passports are seized, it becomes evident that a big attack is being planned to disrupt the nation and its communal harmony.
Commando 3 is the third film of the Commando franchise starring Vidyut Jammwal, who is one of Bollywood’s modern action stars along with Tiger Shroff. The first film was a moderate hit and is still the best of the series. Vidyut Jammwal has a loyal fan-base that loves how he performs those death-defying stunts. This time, Karanvir Dogra (Vidyut Jammwal) has to track down an Islamic radical who is behind the indoctrination of youngsters in India, prepping them for a huge attack. Will he manage to save the nation? Here’s our review of the film:
Commando 3 kicks off with the Mumbai police arresting three youngsters, badly brainwashed by a masked radical, who delivers speeches through videos. After their fake passports are seized, it becomes evident that a big attack is being planned to disrupt the nation and its communal harmony. Step in Karan Vir Dogra, who has to stop the mastermind before he wreaks havoc.
Vidyut Jammwal powers the film with his screen presence and action chops. He kicks, punches and flips with exquisite grace. The actor has good screen presence and his entry is like a typical Bollywood hero. The two heroines, Adah Sharma and Angira Dhar come into their own during the climax and are terrific in the fight scenes. It is fun to see a film where women get to kick butt as much as the men. Mark Hamilton's cinematography is good and the background music pumps up the action quotient. The stunt choreography in a corridor during the climax stands out. Among the supporting cast, Virendra Saxena gives a powerful performance as the law-abiding father of a radical youth. The film is based on radicalization, and everything from cattle slaughter arrests to communal violence finds a reference. There is bit of dry humor that makes you chuckle, too.
The film is quite gory and some of the scenes make you squirm. Also, it lacks subtlety and some of the more sensitive issues could have been discussed in a refined manner (read better dialogues). After a decent start, it falters as the action shifts to London where undercover cops land to arrest the mastermind. From the identification of the extremist to his capture, escape and the finale, everything is quite illogical. The confrontation between the Indian and British police force is hilariously juvenile. Gulshan Devaiah is hardly menacing and does not leave an impact. The climax has that feel-good vibe, but the execution is again blah. Commando 3 is technically fine but has a limited scale and sorely needed better writing.
The film is for hardcore Vidyut Jammwal fans alone and he does not disappoint, but do not blame us if you end up laughing when it’s not intended.
