The film starts with Vidyut Jamwal making his entry into a deserted building where he kills 25-30 people single handedly, jumps through floors, slides through narrow openings, breaks bones and then asks his junior to shoot him twice, one just under the liver and the other on his right leg, so that he can justify the encounter he is about to do.

After this came more such scenes where the hero is jumping or sliding under cars or sliding down walls, like a lizard. 

In Commando( 2013), Vidyut Jamwal made his presence felt because of his unique action skills but here his action stunts without a proper story look so unintentionally funny that we can't decide what the director is trying to show.

The film even has a prologue about Modi's demonetisation drive and ends with a rosy picture of a scenario where the black money is brought to India as if the director wanted to be in the Prime minister's good books.

To add to an already weak screenplay and story there was this "Commando Commando" background music along with every action stunt which was so irritating that it made several people from the audience leave the theatre much before interval.

Vidyut Jamwal is the only saving grace of this film. He looks fit but how seriously can you take a hero who says dialogues like, "Single single mat lo, chauka maaro. Come on, get me excited", while interrogating a criminal.

Adah Sharma as Hyderabadi-based Bhawna Reddy looks good at the start but soon her actions and accent start getting repetitive and boring. She moves around in small dresses and 4 inches heels and then says that she comes from a very poor place where they had to pay bribe even for water.

Freddy Daruwala has nothing much to do and maintains a non interested look through-out the film.

Esha Gupta with her skin tight dresses and painted lips looks like a mannequin. She can't act and I wonder till when will she keep receiving roles because of her resemblance to Angelina Jolie.

Shefali Shah is an integral part of all her husband's, Vipul Shah's films. She plays the role of a home minister but is always dressed like a rich socialite, even flashing big solitaires in all her scenes.

The film was released in 2200 screens and got a poor opening. With bad reviews and poor word of mouth it just has 7 days to recover it's budget which looks like a very difficult task.

In a line, this sequel is a big disappointment and should be seen only if you are a big fan of Vidyut Jamwal.

Avoidable.
