Continuation of the action hit with Vidyut Jammwal
Four years after the first film, Karan (Vidyut Jammwal), the one-man army, is back. This time he is on the hunt for black money that is withheld from poor Indian farmers. This time, lone fighter Karan has to prove himself as a team player, because he can't even handle this huge task alone. The team includes: a real computer geek (Sumit Gulati as Zafar), a shopping-crazy combat expert (Adah Sharma as Bhavna Reddy) and an obscure chief strategist (Freddy Daruwala as Bakhtawar Khan). Can they all cooperate with fighting machine Karan? Well, we'll see.
First we go to Malaysia, where the main person responsible for the black money scandal, a bank employee named Vicky Chaddha, was arrested. The responsible minister (Shefali Shah) from the Indian government can hardly believe her luck if there weren't some problems in her private household...
In Malaysia, Karan and his colleagues meet the beautiful wife of the arrested Vicky. Not even the otherwise ascetic Karan can take his eyes off this absolute dream woman named Maria (Esha Gupta). And she too - despite the presence of her husband, who sits in a wheelchair - seems very impressed by the battle-hardened muscle mountain. A short time later, an unexpected event occurs that reshuffles all the cards...
You can already tell that a lot has changed, especially in the character drawing of protagonist Karan. But that creates room for bizarre secondary characters. Bhavna Reddy's shopping addiction is good for many a laugh. And Freddy Daruwala, who briefly appeared in "Force 2" (also produced by Reliance Entertainment) as Yash's (John Abraham) old friend, is convincing as an obscure colleague/antagonist. Esha Gupta as Maria is pure eye candy, but is also good for surprises.
As in the first part, the action is outstanding. Vidyut Jammwal simply delivers, all his fights are absolute blasts. The only thing that stands out is his fight with bodybuilder KP (Thakur Anoop Singh). Vidyut Jammwal should actually be much better known by now, his agility is simply phenomenal.
The South African Franz Spilhaus, who rightly received a nomination (for Best Action) at the Filmfare Awards, was once again responsible for the stunt coordination.
Well worth seeing for action fans! There is no singing either, only the Commando theme from the first film is played.
