Yesteryear heroine Sumalatha plays his wife and Tamil actor Ganesh Venkitaraman plays his son, Sooryanath Sharma.Īmitabh Bachchan has done his part quite elegantly. It is a full-fledged role for Big B, as a retired school teacher Lokanath Sharma, who is married to a Malayali woman. However, the highlight of the film is the presence of legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan, for the first time in Malayalam cinema. Also, the film succeeds in instilling feelings of patriotism in the audience. But the honesty with which Mohanlal has performed the role makes up for the shortcomings. But the narration is a topsy-turvy ride and as a result, even the sequences involving Major Mahadevan lacks definite punch. As a result, the sentimental scenes get more prominence at the cost of the action sequences, which is not a problem if the story is poised in such a way. Though Kandahar is about the hijacking of an Air India flight by a few terrorists with the support of the Taliban, the story loses its way at several junctures. The first installment in the series, Keerthichakra, has been more appreciated than the second episode, Kurukshetra. He is back for the third time on screen fighting terrorists after they hijack a plane in Kandahar.
Welcome back, Major Mahadevan! Mohanlal's much admired friendly Army officer character is now a top commando. M eghna George reviews the Malayalam movie Kandahar.
