This time, however, he’s aided in this regard by some more intricate but decidedly stronger writing for the sequel. Vidyut Jammwal once more struts his bonafides as a leading man and carries the film like a true pro. Whereas the first film positioned itself as a kind of Indian “Rambo” (the forthcoming Bollywood reboot of “Rambo” with Tiger Shroff in the title role notwithstanding) of a super soldier minding his own business only to find himself forced into a new conflict, “Commando 2” is more akin to a heist film or even a James Bond thriller. One of the most praiseworthy aspects of “Commando 2” is how much it goes out of its way to not lazily repeat its predecessor. Sumit Gulati portrays the in-over-his-head hacker Zafar Hussain, while Shefali Shah plays Indian government official Leena Chowdhury, with Suhail Nayyar as her trouble-prone son Dishank, and Esha Gupta rounding out the cast as the film’s villainous femme fatale, Vicky Chadda.įiring in situ A Tale of Two Biceps Karan lands a powerful spinning kick Adah Sharma portrays his selfie-obsessed ally and love interest Bhavna Reddy, while Freddy Daruwala steps into the role of his hot-headed teammate Bakhtawar Khan. Vidyut Jammwal returns to the role of Indian Commando extraordinaire Karan Singh Dogra, once more carrying the film on his supple shoulders with a blend of tough guy leadership and a finely-tuned mastery of Kalaripayattu.

Bollywood’s rising Kalari-kicking action hero Vidyut Jammwal is back to throw down with bad guys and give every GQ cover model a run for their money in “Commando 2: The Black Money Trail”.
