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.

Odhni Odhli” is an exemplary Indian song with melody in abundance. This Anand Raaj Anand composition thrives on a congenial tune, great vocals of Udit Narayan and Mahalaxmi Iyer, conventional orchestration and momentous lyrics. One of those tracks that are instantly likable and can rake huge fame and appreciation from the masses. Anand Raaj Anand only gets better with “Ek Diwani Ladki”, which is a youthful track with nuances of tender love and innocuous impishness between the two lovers. Shreya Ghoshal and Shaan are the finest choices as they crisply as well as tunefully convey the required verve in this perky track. Javed Akhtar is at his usual best as he juggles with the enchanting terms that complete the expression.
