Brothers(Hindi) - Review

Brothers movie story is exactly what you guessed from its trailer. It is a story of two street fighter brothers whose rivalry grows up with them and then meets up finally in the ring. Who wins is an easy guess. It's that cliched story but still I can say it is a very satisfying watch. Satisfying is a word I have not used for any review till date but somehow it is apt for this movie. One, this movie proves that no matter how cliched your story is, you can still make it good if you back it up with right amount of emotion and honesty. Secondly, the ending, which is also cliched from the end result point of view, very satisfyingly sums up the characters and their faults in the movie. How that one shot in the end puts Jackie Shroff and Akshay Kumar at fault and make you sympathize with Sidharth is pure touch of genius. Its purely poetic justice. Acting wise Jackie Shroff nails it. It is the best role he had ever done as far as I have seen and he is impeccable. Akshay Kumar comes next with his yet another subtle performance. Sidharth got a role much much bigger than his experience. Its a role with varied emotions and he is just okay. He could have been lot better but he makes it up for it in the climax. My only problems with the movie are that at times the emotion goes a little over board and the second half waits long before coming back on track.

One sentence summary for this movie is that it is a cliched story but very convincingly told and so leaves you satisfied with the overall outcome.
