Tango Charlie Review

Mani Shankar did make his impression with his Milind Soman and Aditi Gowitrikar starrer 15th December but failed with Rudraksh but he is back again with Tango Charlie with his bag full of spectacular special effect.
 
If you have seen Mani Shankar's video on Kashmir then you would know that he is a much sought after director.  
 
Indian Air Force helicopter pilots, Squadron Leader Vikram Rathore (Sanjay Dutt) and Flight Lieutnant Shezad Khan (Suniel Shetty) are busy with the process of passing time in the white-clad wilderness of endless non-populated arid lands. Suddenly, they spot a number of bodies strewn over, and a hand reaching out.
 
The rescue is carried out despite of a 'No-Go' from the HQ Command because of bad weather. The basic first-aid is carried out, and a diary is discovered. What unfolds through the pages of this diary, while these two pilots fight bad weather and the need to keep the rescued BSF soldier alive, takes them on a whirlwind trip across the nation with Sepoy Tarun Chauhan (Bobby Deol), his journey of life, his love Lachchi (Tanishaa), his battles, his fears, the loss of innocence, and above all, the influence of his mentor, Havaldar Mohammed Ali (Ajay Devgan), who is shaping his destiny.
 
From time immemorial, soldiers have fallen on the battlefield without really knowing why they were fighting, and for what. Absurdly, wars are always fought in the name of peace. Whatever the compelling reason to fight, it is ultimately the soldiers on both sides who die - in some strange land, in some horrible way, with no one really to mourn for them, except for their immediately family, or perhaps a posthumous investiture ceremony.
 
The main protagonists of Tango Charlie represent these brave fighters who are ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of our safety and security without any expectation of any award or reward. However, they should not be consigned to the footnotes of our daily lives. They deserve better than that.
