Brothers Review

Brothers is the latest release from Bollywood this week which is directed by Karan Malhotra who gave us the blockbuster hit with the remake of Agneepath. Brothers has Akshay Kumar, Sidharth Malhotra and Jackie Shroff in the key roles along with Jacqueline Fernandez and Ashutosh Rana. This is an official Bollywood remake of the Hollywood film named Warriors. Karan had delivered something very special with the remake of Agneepath starring Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt. So the expectation was very high when he announced his next project with Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra in the lead and that too a remake of a Hollywood film. Warriors is not a big success in Hollywood but noted for its storyline which has to do with some real life incidents.

Brothers as the title suggests tells the story of two brothers and their father. The story revolves mainly around these 3 named David, Monty and Garry played by Akshay Kumar, Sidharth Malhotra and Jackie Shroff respectively. Jacqueline Fernandez has played the role of Janni who is the wife of David. They have a daughter who is suffering from kidney disease and David ends up in the need for lot of money for his daughter’s treatment. So he chose to take part in R to F fight competition with the help of Mr. Braganza who gives the chance to Indian fighter to participate in the R to F competition. Monty on the other side also preparing for the fight after his father had come from jail. Monty is the loved child of Gary which caused the problems in their family which lead to the accidental killing of his wife by Gary for which he suffers in jail for years. David leaves after the incident and that creates problems between the brothers as well.

The performance of the lead characters and the direction of Karan Malhotra had made this film fulfill the expectation people had it in this one. The great execution of the emotional flavor as well as action scenes had triggered out well and Akshay Kumar really stole the show as David. Your eyes will be wet at many parts of the film which is the best example of how the emotional part connected well with the audience but it could make many think the ingredients added were somewhat more. Like the director confirmed the movie is set on emotion which touch your heart, the people who come up for a Action- violent- thrilling can be a mismatch. So this over-emotion could drag some step for this as the first half was immersed in it.

The music by Ajay and Atul Gogavale was average that some demanded about Kareena’s special appearance song could have been more interesting but the song was picturized well. Brothers can be one of the best entertainer released in Bollywood this year if it keep up the fight with other B’s in B-town (Baahubali and Bajrangi Bhaijaan). And could have been emerged as one of the biggest blockbuster in Bollywood this year confidently if they could have more patient working on it rather than having tension about its release dates. There was some hurry seen all through the movie in the second half which also makes that part land on the safe zone combining together ends in the average mark.
