    Good movie despite obvious flaws & goofups

    If you are willing to ignore and look beyond patches of amateurish direction and illogical scenes then this is definitely a good entertaining movie.

    Its in the same cult sphere as Sooryavansham but I would rate the story & acting of Tango Charlie at much higher level than Sooryavansham.

    The stories are beautifully interwoven and for a once there is actually a great story to tell here, if only the director was bit more capable to handle such a story/script , we could have had an amazing movie on our hands.

    Despite these obvious flaws & goofups , the director and especially Ajay & Bobby do manage to pull this off and give us a thought provoking yet entertaining movie . Nandana, Sudesh , Shahbaaz and Kelly definitely impressed in their small but powerful roles. Ajay was really impressive in his role and Bobby really looked the part of Tango Charlie.

    Well-acted by almost majority of the actors (including Tanisha for a change).

    Definetly worth a watch espcially on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

    Underrated classic

    Even 14 years ago when the nation was way less polarized than it is now, a film examining the ugliness of perpetual war with certain communities within India and the disillusionment with the military-industrial complex did not impress the fragile nationalism of 'patriots'. It is no wonder that this film isn't to be found even on streaming services, that have resurrected gems like 'Kidnap' and 'God Tussi Great Ho' from the same period. Much like "Green Zone (2010)" that asked similar questions about US intentions and actions in the perpetual war in middle east, neither critics nor audiences had any love for either of these films. Funnily enough, attacks on the bureaucracy are not taboo as evidenced by the success of films like 'Enemy of the State' or 'Minority Report'. It's the military that's usual sacred. Only wanted to put it out there for any fans of this film, that you're not alone. I felt both TC and Green Zone were well written, tightly plotted, very well cast (especially Kelly Dorjie in TC) and quite entertaining. Politics aside, they are competent films with earnest performances. If you get a chance, watch it and share your opinion here

    Life of real hero

    That's true and director was able to do fantastic plot and came out with good movie. Different concept and specially the different phase of force in different zones and the challenges faced by them were shocking. Ajay was good as usual and Bobby also did well. I am sure if this movie could have real ease this time, I am sure 200 k would cross.

    Surprisingly very good movie

    Accidentally I started watching this movie and was very impressed with story ,direction and acting . Direction is very realistic . Everyone acted very well . This film Didnt do well at box office may be because story and direction was way ahead of the time and kept very realistic .. Worth watching.

    Good

    Mani Shankar after a decent debut 16 December and then the biggest crap RUDRAKSH came with this film

    I had no expectations from it as the promos gave away that it's a routine War film but it isn't

    The film tries to show the life of the soldiers and does a good job But?

    The forced love angles act as distraction and all the comic scenes involving Deol

    The movie is well handled and the story goes on well The Kelly Dorjee scene wherein he slashes one guy's stomach is awesome till the entire scene in the water

    Plus the scenes wherein Bobby accidentally kills the father of the guy is well handled

    The climax does seem contrived and also the forced commercial ingredients like songs.etc

    But overall a worthy film

    Mani Shankar does a good job Music is alright Camera-work is great

    Ajay Devgan acts his part like he usually does at his best Bobby Deol shines in his role except when he is made to act like a joker He brings a nice amt of shyness, simplicity and then braveness to the role Tanishaa irritates Kelly Dorjee is awesome rest are okay
