Jaanwar is not an extraordinary film, but I think that in terms of the film that was made almost twenty years ago when I wrote this review, Jaanwar is a pretty good film.

Raising the lives of poor people, Jaanwar tells the story of a man who is trapped in a life of crime after being orphaned. In his life journey, he experienced a series of events that changed his life. After meeting a child who survived a train accident, she is determined to leave the criminal world and live an honest life for the sake of her son's bright future.

This film depicts the life of the poor quite well. The characters in this film have a pessimistic outlook on life, but they still continue to have their hopes in God. The depiction of the lives of the characters is also well written. Maybe what's a bit odd is Karishma Kapoor's make-up. She looks very pretty for the role of a poor girl. Her make-up should have been made simpler to match her appearance with the role she was playing.

The plot is neatly written, but there are a lot of clichés from 90s Bollywood masala films. I love the dialogues in this film, which are written dramatically. Reading subtitles already feels like reading a novel LOL. But I like it haha. The dialogue at the opening of the film is the best.

For comedy scenes, I think the comedy in this film feels a bit "forced". I don't think there would be anything missing if the comedic scene was removed from the film. But I appreciate Johnny Lever with his comedic roles. He did pretty well.

I won't comment much on the acting of the players, because I'm not good at commenting on this part. But I don't like Shilpa Shetty crying too much here. What I remember most about Shilpa Shetty's presence in this film is her tears that kept coming out. I guess, to describe her grief over the loss of the son she loved, it was enough to tell her to continue to act gloomy and listless rather than telling her to continue crying. What is rather unfortunate is that Karishma Kapoor's role is not felt in the development of the story. In the second half of the film, I even forgot that he also took part in this film.

One of the aspects that I like about this film is the soundtrack. Songs from this movie are always on my on repeat playlist. The presence of the soundtrack is indeed quite entertaining, so this film, which has too many cliché scenes, doesn't feel so boring.

Well, this assessment is a bit biased because I wrote more about my feelings towards this film. But I hope this review can help those of you who might want to try watching this film but are a little hesitant.

I am a Vidyut Jammwal fan, and have watched two previous Commando series. When I was going to watch the movie Commando 2, I had high expectations for the film. However, I was disappointed with the movie Commando 2, because it was not what I imagined. When I was going to watch this film, I didn't really expect much. I watched this film, only to see Vidyut Jammwal and Adah Sharma in action.

I am a Muslim. In the first minutes, I felt unsure about this film. I thought, if this film raised the same concept as in the film Baby (2015). However, that was not the case. This film does tell a story about Muslim terrorists, but this film actually conveys the message that not all Muslims are terrorists. Commando 3 is the best film by Vidyut Jammwal. And it's even better than Khuda Haafiz's film.

Unlike most other Bollywood masala films which emphasize male heroes more, and place female heroes as sweeteners, this film is quite the opposite. Male characters do not always dominate. Scenes of women fighting male criminals are rare in Hindi cinema. The writer and director provide a balanced portion between male heroes and female heroes. This shows that women are not always dependent on a man. The characters played by Adah Sharma and Angira Dhar, of course, will be a motivation for other women.

For Gulshan Devaiah's villain role, it was good enough. He did his role well throughout the film. However, he was still at a lower level when compared to Esha Gupta, the villain in the previous film. I'm not someone who understands acting, but I just convey my personal opinion. Honestly, I liked Esha Gupta more than Gulshan Devaiah. However, I really appreciate Gulshan's role here.

As for Adah Sharma, he is very good at delivering his dialogues Hindi with a unique accent. I don't know what accent it is. But it seems like a South Indian accent. In my opinion, his accent was a bit annoying, even though he was doing well. I like the role of Adah Sharma here. His action scenes are better than the action scenes he did in the movie Commando 2. Angira Dhar also amazed me with the sequence of actions he did.

I would like to talk about Vidyut Jammwal's dialogue delivery. Well ... Acting and action scenes, which is more dominating. However, I was really disappointed with the way Vidyut delivered the dialogue. He spoke loudly, but his face was as out of sync as his tone. But that is only at the beginning of the film. Furthermore, the delivery of the dialogue is good enough.

For the soundtrack, that's good enough. However, the song Tera Baap Aaya is very disturbing when it is tucked in the middle of the film. The song Tera Baap Aaya is quite put at the end of the film. Supposedly, the song should not be put in the middle of the film, because the vocals are quite disturbing, especially in scenes that are quite tense.

Overall, this film is good, but has some simple flaws that are a bit annoying. However, we have to appreciate those who took the pains to make this film.

My rating: 7/10
