An action thriller is as good as its villain, but what happens if its antagonist overshadows the hero? This is precisely what happened in ‘Commando 3’, spearheaded by Bollywood’s action hero Vidyut Jammwal. Actor Gulshan Devaiah — who plays the cold-blooded hardliner terrorist Buraq is a character that leaves the maximum impact in the bloated action extravaganza. Image Credit: Supplied

The Acting: Take a bow Gulshan Devaiah. His turn as a toxic terrorist Buraq is impressive. The scene in which he cold-bloodedly kills in front of his young son is disturbing, yet underlines his moral compass. He’s the kind of villain who doesn’t make much noise, but is pure vitriol in his actions. Jammwal is impressive in his stunt sequences, but doesn’t seem to have the emotional heft as an actor to carry through the soft scenes. Out of all the characters, it’s the women who have been given a raw deal in this film. While Adah Sharma and Angira Dhar are agents like him on the field, they harbour an inappropriate crush on Jammwal, thus reducing them to airheads who can do flips and kicks in the air. Sharma’s pronounced accent is also grating. Image Credit: Supplied

Adah Sharma — What We Liked: When you sign on for a Jammwal film, you expect superlative stunts. ‘Commando 3’ doesn’t disappoint on that front. The vision of Jammwal doing multiple flips and kicks in the air is a sight to behold. His hunky looks help matters. But don’t forget that this movie which swims in mediocrity is elevated due to the nuanced performance of Devaiah. He’s a mastermind behind an impending terror attack on India and his murderous intent is well communicated. His introductory scene in which he cooks a biryani for the man he intends to knife to death is pure evil and is highly effective in setting the foundation of his character. Image Credit: Supplied
