Brothers
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Watch Brothers for the kicks, punches, grappling, chocking and the un-understandable MMA jargon.
-
A wonderful throwback to the Akki-style family action dramas of the 90s, it polishes the rough edges and gives us something made well enough to be called a modern film.
-
...a huge letdown on the account of its slow pace and lack of emotional connect.
-
If merciless and relentless crunching of bones gets your adrenalin pumping, this film is designed for you.
-
It’s nowhere close to Warrior. But there’s the Akshay-Siddharth on-screen combo, how can you miss that?
-
Oscillating wildly between a sports movie and a melodrama, this is your dose of punch-drunk love!
-
...despite mouthing, 'Har sport mein thora drama toh hota hai', only skims that dramatic surface. It could've dived in deeper.
-
...is not Warrior. It’s an ode to formula-driven content.
-
Long, slow and futile. A few smooth yet powerful action moves. That's it. Then, the only words that linger are - long, slow and futile.
-
...offers a whole new experience to MMA action. Hindi audiences will enjoy the novelty. But all said and done, this should’ve been done with a lot more finesse
-
...despite its contrivances, leaves you choked more than once. How can it not, with all that unabashed emotional manipulation?
-
...gets dragged down by its over-wrought mawkishness.
-
There is in fact no story, nor any story-telling craft.
-
Director Karan Malhotra has a unique ability. He can douse anything into a tub of glycerine and make even a movie about MMA into one about loving your parents.
-
...was obviously made with a great deal of sweat and strain, but there is no getting away from its solemn silliness.
-
The problem is, be it emotion or action, Karan is in no hurry to say cut. At times it works for the emotion to seep in but many times over elaboration dilutes the punch.
-
With its overworked plot devices, this slugfest has neither drama nor depth to offer.
-
...exhausting.
-
It makes so much noise that any sensible point about brotherly bonding and filial fidelity that it might be trying to make is completely drowned out by the decibels.
-
...could have worked better with better editing and lesser of the forced melodrama. What it becomes is a lackluster piece of cinema despite some very hard work put in by the actors.
-
It’s fully faltu family drama.
-
One feels a twinge about picking on a movie made with so much craft and care, by a director who errs on the side of too much in the midst of many who do too little, but strip away the pretty wallpaper and you’ll see how generic Brothers is...
-
There's so much going wrong in Brothers, it's difficult to pinpoint the worst aspect of the film.
-
It’s difficult to imagine anyone making mixed martial arts cheesier than it already is, but Karan Malhotra manages that here.
