Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It isn't rare for a Bollywood film to be a remake of a popular Hollywood movie. If there is anything rare, it is when a Bollywood remake clicks well and is appreciated. Brothers(2015) is an official remake of Warrior and it tries very hard to stand out. Unfortunately, Brothers does not make much of an impact. It has brilliant choreographed action sequences, good performances, and amazing songs but this is far from enough. When the trailers came out, one was expecting a well made remake but the hype was not matched.The main problem with Brothers is that it fails to display the emotions effectively. Warrior did a good job at displaying the right emotions and ensuring that it does not go overboard. Brothers falters here because it becomes way too melodramatic. The emotions do work but at times, it becomes unbearable. When the melodrama goes overboard, watching Brothers becomes a very tepid experience. Jackie Shroff's character has not been well handled in the initial scenes; he is made to cry inconsolably. These scenes are supposed to be powerful but they do not create a strong impact. Nick Nolte had acted these scenes without hamming but Jackie Shroff is forced to mess it up terribly. I did not understand why Akshay Kumar's on-screen daughter was nicknamed PooPoo. This caused unintentionally comedy when it should have been an emotional scene related to the girl's illness.Brothers successfully scores in showing the relationship between the young Akshay and Siddharth. Their relationship is well explored. Those flashback scenes stand out until Jackie Shroff's character is made to shout and create a mess. Brothers also works in terms of the action sequences. The MMA fight scenes are good and keep the audience entertained after a highly melodramatic first half. The training montage scenes are fantastic. To sum it up, the screenplay is faulty and Karan Malhotra's direction is nothing great. It is time he directs a movie which is not a remake.A major saving grace for Brothers is the music. Ajay-Atul have done a great job as most of the songs stand out. The Brothers Anthem create a powerful impact during the training montage scenes; Vishal Dadlani croons the song superbly. Gaaye Ja is a slow but soulful song. Sonu Nigam's Sapna Jahan is beautiful song which is my favorite. The only song that does not work is Mera Naam Mary. Kareena Kapoor scorches the screen by exposing her body but the lyrics are cheap. In addition, such a song should not exist for a movie which was promoted as one of good content.Akshay Kumar has given a superb performance. He can be seen as the crusader in this jungle in which most others ham it up. Siddharth Malhotra has not impressed much. He has tried his best and is functional for the most part. Jackie Shroff is decent until he has to scream and shout. This makes his performance average and the screenplay can be blamed for this. Jacqueline Fernandez does not have much to do and is passable. Shefali Shah is a small role and she does well. Kiran Kumar is funny but he hams it up as well. Ashtosh Rana has some good moments but an actor of his caliber can do so much more. The rest provide decent support.On the whole, Brothers fails to be a solid remake of Warrior. It is at best an average film with some merits. At the box office, the film opened big but failed to sustain. Once again, it has been proved that Bollywood cannot make good Hollywood remakes consistently.

A brother fighting with another brothers... shows that every relationship in life important.. equally important !!Regarding fight becoming legal... it has to be legal.. at least.. ilegal fight will be reduced.My dream is that even women should get the same type of opportunities in the country. This is My thought.!!Good movies now a days hav hard time to earn money.. publicity.. bia is seen in watchers as well may be that is the reason This GooD movie did not make much money...Further there are narrow thinking which contributes more. Good movies should be sent outside the countries for non-biased watchers.

The first half is emotional and contains flashback because it has a story. People should keep patience. Director takes his time and tells the story in the first half but now in the second half its complete action. Those fights are so realistic it will give you goosebumps. The stadium ,the commentators, the crowd it looks like a real battle is on. Great stuff man. Akshay Kumar is Excellent. His acting, his body, his emotions. Just amazing. Siddharth what a transformation. That angry young man look is killer bro. Your body , your look your acting is Outstanding. Jackie is brilliant as always. Jacqueline looks beautiful as always. Kareena is a cherry on the cake. Background music is orgasmic. Its a complete roller coaster ride. Director takes his time in the first half and blasts the second half. Don't give a damn about the critics who have disliked this movie because they are just comparing it with Warrior which should not have happened. Its a Bollywood movie and you have to keep that in mind. Film could have been shortened but never the less people are loving it. That matters. Go watch and enjoy this bloody battle.
